There is food available to suit all budgets and tastes right across the globe. While some people are happy with simple foods, others prefer to enhance their eating experience by buying expensive foodstuffs.

How much an item of food costs often depends on its availability, if it is in season, the type of food it is, and difficult it is to grow, manufacture, or cook.

When thinking of expensive food, it is probably items such as fillet steak, lobster, and truffles that come to mind. One type of food that you might not consider as expensive is ice cream.

This is usually widely available at a relatively low cost as it is generally made using simple ingredients. However, their ice creams available that cost even more than you would be willing to pay for a new car. Here are some of the most expensive ice creams in the world.

This luxurious dessert is made from an ice cream with ingredients including rare cocoa blends, truffle pieces, whipped cream, and milk.

Inside the ice cream, there is even a nugget of 23-karat gold ice cream. It is served in a gold goblet with a gold spoon. Diners who order this $25,000 dessert also get an 18-karat gold bracelet to keep as a souvenir.

Scoopi’s Black Diamond – $817 per scoop

Although most of the expensive ice creams come in the form of a sundae with additional ingredients added to the ice cream, there are also ice creams that you can buy per scoop that also cost extortionate amounts. The most expensive of these is Scoopi’s Black Diamond ice cream which is available for $817 per scoop.

The basis of the ice cream is a simple Madagascar vanilla bean flavored ice cream. It costs so much because of the other ingredients added to this base.
