My siblings and I had a hard time finding room for dessert after Mom's delicious meals, but when we were ready, we could count on a rich creamy bowl of frozen custard. It's a comforting treat! -Judy Clark, Elkhart, Indiana

Creamy and delicious. I made a few mistakes. I didn't have the ice bath ready beforehand. But I would make it again. It's not too sweet. It's great.

This looks more like a standard custard based ice cream recipe, rather than a frozen custard recipe. Frozen custard must contain more than 10% butterfat and more than 1.5% egg. This cannot be achieved with whole milk with only 3% butterfat content without adding cream. Further, frozen custard is not made in an ice cream churn as this would introduce too much air into the mix. Frozen custard should have a smoother texture than ice cream.
