Question

i want to know whats the difference between frozen custard, and regular frozen ice cream,?? and also want to know if anyone have a good , easy , recipe for either one thank u.....

i was told by one lady that said in frozen custards, u need to add lil bit flour, is that true i want to know before i try make some frozen custard and it turn into a cake instead of ice cream.. so someone tell me is this true thanks...

Answer 1

Custard has an egg base. Ice cream does not contain eggs.

Answer 2

i have never heard of the flour. but it has to do with the ration of cream in the base and the amount of air whipped into it. Custards have less air and all cream. ice cream is actually a blend of cream and milk. I like 1/2 and 1/2 and has more air, or over run, whipped in.

Answer 3

Ice cream has to have at least 9% butterfat to be called ice cream.. If you need a recipe for ice cream, that means you need a machine. There are recipes included in the box.

Answer 4

I don't have recipies, but...

Custard is much thicker, much richer and much higher in calories than ice cream. It must be churned at a high rate of speed or it will turn into butter. It contains much more cream and butter fat...which both makes it taste better and MUCH worse for you, health wise. :-)

Answer 5

Frozen custard has more eggs in it

Answer 6

The above posters are all right, but egg YOLK, just to clarify the point.
