What is custard? | Meadows Frozen Custard

Frozen custard, explained

Frozen custard, explained

It's softer than scoop ice cream and firmer than soft serve. And creamier than both. That's what you get in every cup we make.

The egg yolk

We start with milk, cream, sugar, and egg yolk. The yolk is what makes custard custard, and it gives ours that silky-smooth texture.
Less air, more custard

Less air, more custard

Typical soft serve can be up to 100% air. Ours is about 20%, so you taste more custard and get more of it.

Real cream, real sugar

Our dairy comes from near our original Pennsylvania location, and we make the custard fresh all day. Come try it.
