Food trends go hand in hand with Instagram. Starbucks’ Purple and Pink drink blew up in part because people love tasting and posting about cool foods and drinks. There’s rainbow everything these days. Does it taste good? Maybe. Does it look great on Instagram? Hells yes. This summer’s biggest hashtag is turning out to be from the dark side. From New York to Moscow to the beaches of Bali, black ice cream is dominating foodie threads.

Morgenstern’s in New York has jumped on the dark bandwagon with full gusto and devised a delicious recipe of coconut cream, coconut flakes, and coconut ash. The ash dyes the ice cream jet black and is sourced from burnt coconut husks that have been converted to an activated charcoal. Some say that activated charcoal has health benefits. There are no studies to back this up. Other ice creameries around the world have been using black sesame and/or squid ink to attain the same level of darkness, in case ingesting charcoal isn’t your thing.
If you’re tired of seeing rainbow everything, and just need a little darkness, black ice cream is here for you.
Now, here are some delicious shots of black ice cream around the world to whet your appetite!
