Best Ice Cream & Frozen Custard in the Lake Country Area
Growing up in Wisconsin, ice cream and frozen custard become a staple in your family. I have lived here all my life. I have had ice cream and frozen custard almost everywhere. There is something about diggin’ your spoon into a big bowl of frozen paradise that reverts you right back to your childhood. I sometimes say I enjoy the creaminess of frozen custard, whereas other days I prefer the airy texture of ice cream. So the great debate, which one is better?
Ice Cream vs. Frozen Custard Facts
- Ice Cream: It is made from milk and cream, stirred slowly and contains abput 50% air.
- Frozen Custard: Similar to ice cream-made with eggs in addition to cream and sugar. The eggs really make a difference and give it a thicker, creamier and smoother texture than ice cream.
