Perfect for New Yorkers of all ages this holiday season, the new Friend Like Me Sundae is a [specialty dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutcracker-peppermint-swirl) that's just as sweet as Aladdin and Jasmine’s love. The limited-edition treat consists of three generous scoops of cake batter ice cream dripped in a sweet raspberry topping, an edible gold-dusted mountain of whipped cream, bright gold sprinkles, and, to top it all off, a mini golden Genie lamp featuring an edible ALADDIN icing sheet logo. As Chef Joe Calderone, Creative Director of Serendipity3, explains, "Serendipity3 is the perfect spot for Broadway lovers to dine in before or after their show, and we can’t wait to welcome fans of the musical into our restaurant to enjoy this exciting sundae, especially during the holiday season”.
