Desserts to beat the heat: Mumbai says hello to black ice cream and it's so cool

Say goodbye to the usual strawberry, butterscotch and vanilla - it's time to take a walk on the dark side. Black ice cream is the coolest new flavour on the block and we can't stop raving about it. 

Firstly, as the name implies, 'black ice cream' is actually ice cream that is black in colour and since it's nothing like we've seen before, it's exciting! Introduced in New York City last year, this crazy flavour has finally made it's way to Mumbai and is being sold at Icekraft; a popular ice cream parlour in the city. 

Dubbed as 'Tripple Threat', the ice cream is prepared with black edible charcoal sauce and though it may sound eeky, it's nothing like it sounds. 

The process: 

1. You can choose whichever flavour of ice cream you want.

2. They will mix that with regular ice cream.

3. The charcoal sauce will then be added and merged with this ice cream mix.

4. The final mix will be scooped up and put into a black cone.

4. TADAAH! Your black ice cream is ready to be savoured! 

If you're not one for cones, there's also the option of enjoying your dark ice cream in a cup. They'll even top it off with some colourful sprinkles and chocolate sauce if you like. 

If you've got a sweet tooth and love experimenting with new kinds of food and flavours, giving this a try is a must! Apart from it being a yummy dessert, the 'Gothic' looking ice cream in a cone also makes for some fun, unique photographs for your social media handles! 

Happy eating :)
