This Black Ice Cream Looks Scary, But Is Actually Delicious

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Denison chapter.

Charcoal is sooooo trendy. I mean, I see it pop up all over the internet for many purposes. Some say it helps cure hangovers, makes your vodka taste better, detoxes your body, and even whitens your teeth. So when I saw the latest trend, that is black ice cream, I knew I had to give it a shot. 

I mean if this powder says it has so many benefits, why not add it to our food? It adds a intriguing and ~chic~ look to your ice cream that is begging to be Instagrammed. The best part is charcoal doesn’t really hold and powerful taste, so it goes great with anything. Want to make your vanilla ice cream black to confuse all your taste-testers? Go for it. Superman ice cream turned rogue? You bet. This is your guide to all things charcoal ice cream, and its a 10/10 for added health benefits and coolness.
