What Is Custard?
What Is Frozen Custard?
Prepared fresh. Made onsite. Smooth, rich, creamy, and delicious. It is the frozen custard difference. The Meadows Original Frozen Custard is a superior premium ice cream dessert. It’s softer than regular scoop ice cream but firmer than soft-serve, and creamier than both. Our basic ingredients are milk, cream, sugar, and egg yolk. The single difference that makes custard different is the egg yolk. Without egg it would just be ice cream. The egg yolk acts as an emulsifier and is what gives custard its silky-smooth texture.
But that’s not all that makes The Meadows Original Frozen Custard better… Our custard has real cream, real sugar, and a higher butterfat content which gives the custard its delectable creaminess. The richness and density of the custard comes from the low “overrun”, or air content. Air is not pumped into the mix, nor is it added as an “ingredient” as compared to typical soft serve, hard ice cream, or frozen yogurt, which can have as much as 100% overrun. At 100% overrun the product doubles in size meaning that half of the product is air. The more air the ice cream has, the coarser the texture of the ice cream due to the size of ice crystals. When made properly, frozen custard only has 20% overrun so you are tasting more of the actual product and getting more product for your money. After all, air is free and we don’t think that you should be buying it in your frozen dessert!
At The Meadows, we are dedicated to serving premium products with quality ingredients from a dairy located near our original location in Pennsylvania. This guarantees the freshest and highest quality frozen custard you can find. We pride ourselves on striving to provide each customer with a superior product made fresh all day, served in a friendly and timely manner, and in a sparkling clean store.

What our Customers Says
Noneya Bizness2024-01-03I went to the drive through. The worker seemed busy so I waited. When inside cleared she proceeded to sit down by the window and get on her phone. As soon as someone came in she got up and took there order then sat down. Not once did she come to the window and say the drive through was closed. There were no signs up saying the drive through was closed. I was not the only car to wait and get fed up and leave. I will not go back with such poor customer service. Either turn off all lights, put up a sign, or simply say the drive through is closed. Do not ignore your customers!
Matea McKesson2023-11-25The employees were super sweet and the custard is AMAZING. I had the Belgian waffle thing they have and was expecting maybe waffle with chocolate syrup, but it blew my mind. Atmosphere was a little jarring if you're a fellow neuro-spicy. But a great family place and absolutely will be going back and bringing guests!
