| - I only just discovered the glory that is frozen custard a few months ago. Oh, you've never heard of it? Check it-- it's kind of like ice cream, but it's made with more egg yolks. The result is a richer, denser, creamier concoction.
Prior to my visit to Luv-It, I had only tried custard in a pre-packed pint from a hippie grocer, sourced from a local dairy farm. While Googling fun things to do in Vegas, I almost leaped out of my chair when I saw a frozen custard monger on the top 20 list. Apparently there's some cool history or story to this place, but all I cared about was custard, custard, custard.
I was totally blown away to find that at Luv-It custard is sold soft-serve style, not in scoops. What the WHAT?! Way to take something I already love and somehow make it even more incredible.
There were so many options, I felt a little overwhelmed-- at least three or four custard flavors, fruit toppings, candy toppings, plus fudge, butterscotch, marshmallow, and every other sundae accompaniment on the planet. Even though more than a few flavors piqued my curiosity, I decided to get a simple original (vanilla) custard, with some fresh strawberries. I figured I'd be back, and wanted to establish a baseline.
It was howl-at-the-moon kind of good. It was "holy hell, all ice cream will taste watery from this day forward" kind of good. Mmmmm.
I SO wish I had made it back more than the once.
