It’s the crème de la ice cream.

A Japanese ice cream company has gathered some of the rarest and most luxurious ingredients and turned them into the world’s most expensive ice cream — priced at a whopping $6,696 per serving.

Japanese brand Cellato achieved the most expensive ice cream on the planet, with Guinness World Records  announcing their record-breaking dairy win for the flavor called “Byakuya.”

The pricey sweet treat is made out of white truffle grown in Alba, Italy, a rare delicacy that costs about $6,905 per pound.

The distinguished dessert also includes Parmigiano Reggiano and sake lees (or sake kasu), a by-product of Japanese sake production that is, indeed, alcoholic (8%).

Cellato developed the flavor with Tadayoshi Yamada, the head chef at acclaimed Osaka restaurant RiVi, reportedly looking to combine European and Japanese flavors for a unique flavor.

According to Guinness officials, it took over a year-and-a-half to perfect the flavor, with “a lot of trials and errors to get the taste right,” according to a Cellato representative.

“Achieving a Guinness World Records title made the effort all worth it,” a Cellato representative told Guinness World Records, whose team described the “complex” flavor as “rich” and truffle-forward with hints of “fruity” Parmigiano and sake lees for a “glorious taste experience” that “fills your mouth and nose.”

Cellato are reportedly planning to release products with other combinations of luxury ingredients, such as Champagne and caviar.
