What is
Frozen Custard?
Frozen custard is a type of cold
dessert similar to ice cream made with eggs in addition to cream and sugar. It
typically contains 10% butterfat and 1.4% egg yolk.
Tom Barwood, the proprietor, designer,
head cook and bottle washer of Cintoms, makes
real fresh frozen custard daily. Click here for the
flavor of the day.
How is Frozen Custard Made?
Using a process called overrun, air is blended into the mixture of ingredients
until its volume increases by approximately 20%. By comparison, ice cream may
have an overrun as large as 100% - meaning half of the final product is composed
of air.
Cintom's machines overrun is even less than
the usual 20% as no air is injected giving us an overun of approximately 10%. We
use 13% butterfat content by customer choice. All our fruit toppings are made in
house
The high percentage of butterfat and egg yolk
gives frozen custard a thick, creamy texture and a smoother, softer consistency
than ice cream. Frozen custard is most often served at 26 degrees Fahrenheit (a
full 16 degrees warmer than the 10 degrees Fahrenheit at which ice cream is
served).
Frozen custard is usually prepared fresh at the place of sale, rather than
stored; however, it is occasionally available in supermarkets or by mail order.
Generally, modern frozen custard stands provide only three different flavors per
day: vanilla, chocolate, and a unique “flavor of the day”. Flavor of the day
calendars are usually made available by the store either in paper form or
online. The older vintage custard stands tend to have a dozen or so standard
flavors that change gradually over time.
