The video opened with a staff holding the ice cream cone in his hands and filling it with chocolate chunks, liquid chocolate, almonds, and scoops of chocolate ice cream. He then coated it with a thick layer of cream, giving the dessert an impressive look.
The unconventional ingredient came a while later. Once the creamy layer was set, the staff dressed the ice cream with a gold foil. The dish was then embellished with other gourmet toppings.
The dessert was served not on a regular plate, but on a golden tray, amplifying its luxe appeal.
