They appreciate that the color did not bleed and that it is a rich black, not gray. The color does darken as it sits, but it does not make their ice cream loose.

Works great!
I’m no pro but I do make cakes for family and it has given me the perfect black. I also used to to make grey, it was slightly purple so I used some simple color theory and add a little yellow for the perfect grey

5.0 out of 5 stars Best black gel color I have ever used!
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2023
I make macarons, and I got an order for a tower that included black macs. I have used other black food colors before and they usually cast gray or purple. But this one was highly reviewed, and also recommended by a macaron group I am in. It absolutely lived up to the hype! Holy cow. (And the customer LOVED the end result!) I also did not notice a strong aftertaste, as can sometimes be the case with food dyes. I will never use another black food color- this is it.

Be warned though, it will turn your mouth black for the day, and your poo green for a couple days 😬 but that's par for the course with black food color. Just important to note so there are no, um, surprises. Haha
