Ingredients

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons activated charcoal powder (food-grade)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add vanilla ice cream, whole milk, activated charcoal powder, and sugar (if using) into a blender.
  • Mix on low speed until the ice cream starts breaking down, then increase to high and blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  • Taste and add vanilla extract if needed for enhanced flavor, then blend briefly to combine.
  • Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure the activated charcoal is food-grade for safety.
For a lighter version, substitute non-dairy milk and low-fat ice cream.
Stir well before serving to redistribute the charcoal evenly.
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 24 hours, though they may lose some creamy texture.
