| - Nielsen's Frozen Custard is my new favorite treat. I haven't the slightest clue why there aren't more Nielsen's Frozen Custards or any other frozen custard joints around!! (And why not in Hawaii where it's warm almost all year long??) Why are "regular" ice cream and yogurt parlors so much more popular?! Frozen custard is where it's at!
...I really cannot begin to express the amount of joy one cup of Nielsen's Frozen Custard brings me. I am in love with its rich flavor, and its smooth, thick, and creamy texture. I seriously can't get enough of it.
JUST LIKE THE MOVIES
As far as the ambience goes, it is reminiscent of a 1930s ice cream parlor. Very cute with that authentic, old fashioned vibe. (Like in the movies! Hah!)
FRESH
At Nielsen's Frozen Custard, they claim to make the frozen custard fresh daily with no preservatives and no artificial ingredients. Woohoo! None of that synthetic, mysterious freak show stuff here!
MADE WITH EGGS?
Yes, yes, yes! Nielsen's Frozen Custard is made with egg. Sounds weird, but it's really not. The egg is what allows for the extra smooth, creamy texture that frozen custard is known for. (There isn't enough egg put into the recipe to where the frozen custard tastes eggy.) Also, frozen custard has less air content than other ice cream, which accounts for its thicker and heavier consistency. You can totally feel (and taste) the difference!
3 FLAVORS YIELD A PLETHORA OF OPTIONS
As for the flavors of the custard, they only offer 3: vanilla, chocolate, and flavor of the day. (The vanilla is decadent and creamy beyond belief!) These basic flavors are the gateway to a bunch of other flavor profiles, or what they like to call, "Concretes". Concretes are the extra thick version of a shake, made to be eaten with a spoon. They are a magical blend of either vanilla or chocolate frozen custard and one or a few toppings! My favorite out of the ones I tried is Oreo. The Lemon was also good.
VERDICT
If I had the money for it, I'd fly back and forth to Vegas just for some Nielsen's Frozen Custard! So if you've got an insatiable sweet tooth like me, and you love your ice cream creamy, Nielsen's is the place to go.
