frozen custard

Creamy churned dessert

Frozen custard is a rich, creamy frozen dessert similar to ice cream but made with egg yolks, giving it a denser, smoother texture.

It's churned at a slower speed than ice cream, incorporating less air.

Frozen custard is served at a warmer temperature and associated particularly with the American Midwest: We stopped for frozen custard at the stand on Route 66.
