The idea of Frozen Custard is not new, but rather fairly ancient. The idea of cooking Milk with Eggs to make Custard thick dates back to at least the Romance times and Custard is even mentioned in Apicius. Probably, Custard could be even older than that.
Later In the 17th Century, Fruit Creams started gaining popularity and Custards began to be made as individual dishes or bowls instead of just fillings or Crust. While Custard is quite similar to Ice Cream, the United States Food and Drug Administration mandates that Frozen Custard products must contain at least 10% of Milk Fat and 1.4% Egg Yolk solids.
It was in 1919, that Frozen Custard was invented in Coney Island, New York. Two Ice Cream vendors by the names of Archie and Elton Kohr realized that when they added Egg Yolks to Ice Cream, it resulted in a product that was smoother in texture and helped the Ice Cream stay cold for a longer duration which was perfect for hot Summer afternoons. During the first weekend of f Archie and Elton Kohr selling Frozen Custard, they ended up selling 18,640 Cones on the boardwalk itself.
Frozen Custard started gaining immense popularity throughout the Midwest and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, actually came to be known as the “unofficial Frozen Custard capital of the world.” It might be time for a Road Trip to check them out. Would you like to come?
