Calling all ice cream lovers! If you are an ice cream fanatic who wants to try every exotic flavor out there, you should try getting your hands on what Guinness World Records has declared is the most expensive ice cream in the world. Of course, if you’re willing to pay over $6,000 for it.

Cellato, the Japanese Gelato brand, has caught the attention of ice cream enthusiasts worldwide after their Byakuya treat was named the world’s most expensive ice cream by Guinness World Records this month.

So what flavor is the most expensive ice cream in the world? It has nothing to do with your classic chocolate or strawberry flavors.

It’s actually flavored with white truffle and fine cheeses. Of course, like any pricey food item, it’s also served with edible gold leaf.

Does that sound yummy to you? If you want to try it, you better be willing to shell out around $6,300-6,696.

The ice cream is currently available on Cellato’s website and can be shipped to customers from Japan.

The white truffle, which is exclusively grown and sourced from Alba, Italy, is what makes the ice cream so expensive.

The truffles alone cost around 2 million Japanese yen per kilogram, which is around $15,192.

The ice cream comes in a nice glass jar, and consumers are encouraged to pour on the white truffle as soon as the ice cream defrosts to the perfect soft texture.

Although this may sound like an ice cream created for the sake of being fancy and outrageously expensive, the creators at Cellato were more enthusiastic about making an ice cream that was an exciting fusion of European and Japanese ingredients.

Cellato gives multiple options on what to pair their lavish ice cream with if you want a more exciting eating experience.

You can enjoy the ice cream as is, or if you’d like to enjoy it as part of a nightcap, they recommend pairing it with a sweet sake or sweet dessert wine, particularly Vinsanto of Italy.

So, ice cream lovers, how does the world’s most expensive ice cream sound to you? Are you dying to try it, or would you rather stick to Ben & Jerry’s?
