Black ice cream is the latest trend in desserts

The current buzzword in desserts is ‘savoury ice creams’, and there are outlets in the city that sell everything from wasabi to avocado ice cream. However, there is a new trend sweeping New York — Black ice cream!
After the black burger bun took the internet by storm, there’s now a black version of the popular dessert that’s taken over Instagram. The dessert, which is called Black Coconut Ash, is supposed to be made from the charred and processed remains of a coconut shell, and is then mixed with coconut flakes, coconut milk and coconut cream.
The dessert in New York has got people comparing it to activated charcoal. The ice cream’s flavour has been likened to that of vanilla, but one IG user said that ‘it will turn your mouth into a black hole’. So eat it at your own risk! Other versions have also been served in an ice cream shop in Moscow and from a truck in the UK.
