New York’s Baccarat Hotel serves up an opulent $1,500 sundae called “Bear Extraordinaire.”
The sundae is made up of house-made Madagascar vanilla bean ice cream inside a white chocolate shell hand-painted with strokes of colored cocoa butter, on top of a black truffle crumble with Manjari dark chocolate and Valrhona Gold cocoa nibs, and topped with a hibiscus champagne sauce. It’s covered with gold leaf and silver flakes. Spun sugar in the shape of a nest rests on top of the white chocolate shell, with citrus meringue, fondant butterflies, and edible flowers adorning the creation.
