The first time I encountered frozen custard was at Shake Shack in New York City. I am a sucker for any and all frozen, creamy treats, so when I saw custard on the menu, I was intrigued. Digging into a big cup after my burger, I was instantly in love. Extra-rich and dense, it was like the best gelato and soft serve I’d ever had joined forces. What is this magical stuff and how does it differ from ice cream?
