Black Ice Cream
Inspired by Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream [1]

Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup food-grade activated charcoal
1 cup sour cream
14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon curd
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Edible gold leaf, optional
Waffle cones, optional
Directions
- In a large chilled metal bowl, using a hand mixer on high speed, whip the heavy cream and about 1/3 of the charcoal powder until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together sour cream, condensed milk, lemon zest and juice, curd, vanilla extract, and remaining charcoal powder until no lumps can be seen.
- Gently fold the sour cream mixture into the whipped cream until just combined. Transfer the mixture to a metal or glass loaf pan, cover the top with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming, and freeze for at least 12 hours or overnight until firm.
- Optional: Paint the rim of the waffle cone with edible gold.
- Scoop ice cream into bowls or waffle cones and enjoy.
