What is Frozen Custard?
Frozen Custard is often a misunderstood product. It is actually a gourmet ice cream treat which first originated on Coney Island, NY as a carnival treat in 1919.
Frozen custard is so much smoother and richer tasting than ice cream due to the result of egg yolks being added to the ingredients, and a time-tested process that closely replicates the old fashioned hand churning method. Scoops' special machine forces the air out of the product, which minimizes ice crystals and creates a more dense texture.
This entire process prevents the product from melting too quickly and allows it to be served at a higher temperature than ice cream. And just as with homemade ice cream, frozen custard is best when eaten fresh.
