Black Charcoal Ice Cream
While black charcoal ice cream looks like an Insta-worthy food trend, it also comes with powerful detox benefits. Activated charcoal has been used for thousands of years to bind and remove toxins and heavy metals from your body. When you add it to treats like ice cream, activated charcoal also turns food black — perfect when you want to feed your dark side. 😉
Since charcoal has a neutral flavor and ultra-fine texture, this charcoal ice cream gets its delicious taste from powdered vanilla bean and smooth cacao butter. Serve it with whipped coconut cream or dark chocolate chunks for dessert that helps you bounce back.
