Custard - That Oh So Dairy Treat

Custard - That Oh So Dairy Treat

Because Wisconsin has a long and tasty history relating to the dairy industry, it should come as no surprise that great custard can be found here -- frozen custard that is. We're talking about that thick and creamy, ice-cream-like dessert that contains egg yolks -- not those wiggly, pudding-like dishes. Despite the fact that steamy hot days are in the minority in this Midwestern state, a substantial number of great frozen-custard stands can be found, especially in Milwaukee. The stands range from little mom-and-pops to large local chains with thriving businesses. Frozen custard is such a popular treat that most stands have billboards denoting the flavor of the day, lists of the flavors to come, and flavor-of-the-day hot lines. In general, the warmer the day, the longer the line is likely to be at a custard stand in Wisconsin; after just one taste, however, you'll agree it's worth the wait.
