Japanese ice cream company Cellato's Byakuya flavor has set the Guinness World Record for the most expensive ice cream, costing $6,696 for just 4.3 oz. The ice cream is made from rare ingredients, including truffles grown in Alba, Italy, which go for about $15,192 per kg. The ice cream also has Parmigiano Reggiano and sake lees. The ice cream comes with a handcrafted metal spoon and is recommended to be enjoyed with white truffle oil. Cellato plans to release more ice creams with expensive ingredients like champagne and caviar.
