While the Los Angeles restaurant is not known as a dessert destination, its Popcorn Ice Cream is quickly becoming a draw for those who like to end their meal with something on the sweet and salty side. The Popcorn Ice Cream served at Paley is a decadent dessert that draws inspiration from Hollywood's historic movie theaters. The dish consists of creamy popcorn-flavored ice cream topped with a brown butter powder, [salted chocolate rocher](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a24-movie-chocolate) and [house-made caramel corn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prospector-popcorn-superstar-crunch).
