Golden Opulence

Eleven unusual frozen treats to beat the heat.

There is no dessert more decadent than the Golden Opulence at Serendipity 3 (photo above) in New York City (Guinness World Records agrees.) This extravagant sundae, costing $1,000 and requiring 48 hours notice, is made with rich Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla; a chocolate syrup from Amedei Porcelana, one of the world's most pricey chocolates; chunks of rare Chuao chocolate; exotic Parisian candied fruits; gold-covered almonds; chocolate truffles; marzipan cherries; and edible gold leaf. Oh, and it comes with a dessert caviar.

If that falls outside your dessert budget (for the year), here are ten other unique treats that will beat the heat:
