World's most expensive ice cream

Dubai café launches truffle and saffron flavoured ice cream, for $817 a scoop
When it comes to Dubai, bigger and blingier is nearly always considered better.
So it comes as no surprise that a Dubai ice cream shop is now serving what may be the world’s most expensive ice cream.
The Scoopi Café’s “Black Diamond” ice cream retails at AED2,999, or $817, for a single scoop.
Inside, you’ll find a rather curious mix of high-price ingredients, including Madagascan vanilla, Iranian saffron and slices of truffles imported from Italy.
And for topping, forget a humble Cadbury’s flake or butterscotch sauce: it is crowned with a sprinkling of edible 23-carat gold.
Even the bowl is designer: it is Versace, and the customer gets to keep it after they’ve scoffed the contents (well, for that price, you’d hope so.)
Scoopi says, “Popular ice-cream products in the city are priced lower, but we expect Dubai's increasingly aspirational consumers to readily pay a premium for a superior product.”
Like all varieties of ice cream served at Scoopi, the "Black Diamond" is made from scratch.
