I've never had any frozen custard before I moved to Vegas. My fellow Yelpers' reviews on Nielsen tickled my interest on frozen custard. I dug deeper and found out it is similar to ice cream. However, the addition of egg gives it a thicker and creamier texture when compare to ice cream. All these years, I felt totally missed out not knowing the existence of frozen custard.
Nielsen is located right next to Grimaldi's Pizzeria on Eastern Ave. It has ambiance of a 1930's ice cream parlor. Nielsen's frozen custard is made fresh daily, with no preservatives or artificial ingredients. The store offers vanilla, chocolate and flavor of the day daily. They also offer more flavor selections with concrete sizes (in different size cup, chose flavor and toppings and they will mix it for you). Vanilla is definitely one of my favorite flavors. It's super creamy and rich texture is worth the weight gain afterwords. I also like strawberry, butter pecan, caramel cashew and cake batter.
Ever since I discovered this store, I became a weekly regular here. I came here at least once a week to fix my sweet tooth and cool myself down from 100+ F Las Vegas sun with the help of yummy frozen custard.
