Frozen custard’s first appearance can be traced back to New York’s Coney Island in 1919. Ice cream vendors added egg yolk to their ice cream to create a smoother texture – and it had the added benefit of staying frozen longer.
Plus, frozen yogurt has slightly fewer calories than ice cream, more protein, and less saturated fat.
By 1933, the World’s Fair in Chicago had brought frozen custard to the midwest, and it became especially beloved in the northern state of Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Wisconsin was the place where many iconic shops opened in the 1930-40s, making the city the unofficial “Frozen Custard Capital of the World”.
As frozen custard grew in popularity in the midwest throughout the decades, this new cousin of ice cream began expanding its geographical reach.
Now, frozen custard shops and products have popped up all over the United States and the world, including the UK and Australia.
