Why use activated charcoal in nice cream?

Activated charcoal gives this nice cream its distinctive dark color and is often associated with detoxifying properties.

Can I use fresh bananas instead of frozen?

For the best creamy, thick nice cream consistency, it's essential to use frozen bananas. Fresh bananas would result in a thinner, less ice-cream-like texture.

What kind of nut butter works best in this recipe?

Any nut butter of your choice works well; peanut, almond, or cashew butter would all add a creamy richness to the nice cream.

What are good topping suggestions for this nice cream?

The recipe suggests blackberries and pitaya, which offer a vibrant contrast to the dark nice cream, but feel free to add any fruit you enjoy.

How should I store leftover Activated Charcoal Nice Cream?

Nice cream is best enjoyed immediately. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer, but the texture may become icier upon re-freezing.
