This is a serious question for ice cream lovers - Have you ever wondered what an ice cream with gold in it might taste like? or rather how much it would cost? No? Well, we have the answer for you right here. You can now order a scoop of ice cream with gold sprinkled all over it is none other than Dubai. 

Recently, actor and travel vlogger Shenaz Treasury stumbled upon an interesting flavour of ice cream during her recent trip to Dubai. She came across ‘Black Diamond’, which is served in a Versace bowl at Scoopi Cafe, the world’s most expensive ice cream at Rs 60,000.

She took to her Instagram account to post about her experience with the gold ice cream. She captioned her post, "What is the one thing money can't buy???? 60,000 rupees for an ice cream !!!! Eating GOLD Only in Dubai. World's most expensive ice cream. Was it tasty? Hmm it was interesting. And yes of course they gave it to me for free hahaha."

Well, capitalism has certainly won again. According to a CNBC report cited by news organisation The Indian Express, the ‘Black Diamond’ ice cream was launched by the cafe in 2015. It contains 23-carat edible gold sprinkled on top of Madagascar vanilla ice cream, with Iranian saffron and black truffle.

Under Treasury’s Instagram post, users commented that planning a trip to Dubai is easier than planning to eat the ice cream. One Instagram user emphasized the things that money can't buy like family, friends, happiness, peace of mind and doesn't believe that money can ever take its place. 

Scoopi Cafe in Dubai often presents quirky and opulent dishes such as this one. Recently, it posted a photo of a coffee containing 23-carat edible gold.
