Getting the Most From Your Culver’s Visit
Frozen custard is the star at Culver’s, but a few habits help you enjoy it even more.
Custard vs ice cream
Culver’s frozen custard is made with egg yolk and has less air whipped in than many ice creams, which makes it denser and creamier. It’s made fresh throughout the day, which is why it tastes so smooth.
Plan ahead for favorite flavors
- Check several nearby restaurants’ calendars, since each sets its own schedule.
- Take a screenshot of your favorite restaurant’s monthly calendar.
- Buy a pint or quart of a rare flavor to take home when you find it.
Concrete Mixer ideas
A Concrete Mixer blends custard with mix-ins. Try vanilla with brownie and caramel, chocolate with peanut butter cups, or the Flavor of the Day with an extra mix-in that complements it. A mini or short size is plenty for one person.
Pair it with a meal
Culver’s ButterBurgers and cheese curds are popular before dessert. If you’re sharing, a large order of cheese curds and a few small sundaes or mixers make a fun family outing.
Taking custard home
Frozen custard softens quickly. Bring a cooler bag in summer, and put pints in the freezer as soon as you get home. Let them sit for a few minutes before scooping for the best texture.
