Can an ice cream cost the equivalent of over 700 euros? TO Dubai Yes. It must be said that this is not the normal Italian "small cone", which in Italy can cost as little as two euros (complete with the addition of cream), but the 724 euros needed to savor the Black Diamond, they still make a sensation. What could be so magical about this cup of ice cream invented and sold in Scoopi Cafe of the capital of the United Arab Emirates?
In the order: flakes – edible – of 23 carat gold, vanilla from Madagascar, saffron threads from Iran (the most expensive in the world) and flakes of Italian black truffle. The crème de la crème, it is appropriate to say. And the presentation could not be outdone: in fact it is served in a cup with a spoon designed by the fashion house Versace, which you can keep at the end of the tasting.
However, the Black Diamond is not the only dessert in Dubai that is not exactly cheap. There is also the cupcake golden phoenix by Bloomsbury (sweets boutique inside the Dubai Mall), prepared with: organic flour from Doves, organic butter imported from England, chocolate and Premium Porcelana cocoa from the Italian company Amedei, vanilla pods from Uganda, organic strawberries , dust and edible gold leaf. It's the most expensive cupcake in the world: 90 euros for a single pastry.
