What is frozen custard?
Frozen custard is a delicious, chilly treat that can be found here, in Shreveport. Some wonder what the difference is between frozen custard, ice cream and frozen yogurt. Well, it boils down to two keys elements: eggs and butter fat content. Frozen custard has 1.4% more egg yolk than ice cream and has a higher butter fat content. As a result, this combination gives frozen custard a richer, creamer taste, and allows a slower melting time.
On the other hand, Frozen yogurt is a healthier treat. Instead of eggs, frozen yogurt has active cultures in it. It also carries a lower butter fat content. This allow it to be a lighter, tangier treat. Lastly, Frozen yogurt is less expensive to produce than frozen custard.
