Ice cream is love, and for some, it’s even more than that. If you are one of them, you may have already enjoyed many delicious ice creams in Dhaka. When we think of ice cream, a multitude of colors may pop into our minds, but probably not anything black.
Then a new and unique experience awaits you: a coal-colored ice cream, named “Black and Black”, is now available at Ice Coal, a popular new ice cream parlor located on the ground floor of Unimart in Dhanmondi 15.
Essentially, it’s a charcoal soft-serve ice cream served in a cone also infused with charcoal. Its appeal lies more in its unique appearance than in its relatively neutral taste. Much of its popularity is mainly due to its aesthetic.
Ice Coal has an additional unique feature, or lack thereof: they only offer two flavors of ice cream per day. In addition to Black and Black, you can taste Vanilla, Chocolate and Matcha flavors on different days.
The Noir and Noir flavor comes directly from Italy, while the Vanilla, Caramel and Chocolate flavors are imported from India and the Matcha flavor comes from Thailand. They simply add the flavor powder into the ice cream maker, along with milk powder, to create these ice creams.
Once you have your ice cream in hand, it is essential to enjoy it quickly as it tends to melt quickly, unlike the ice creams we are used to from local companies.
The Black and Black variety does not have a distinctive taste. However, after consuming it, your entire tongue, teeth, and lips will take on a striking black appearance, as if you have just brushed your teeth with charcoal.
