We made this a last stop before I was dropped off at the airport. My friend had been raving about this frozen 'custard' dessert right from the beginning of our 13 hour road trip to AZ. She's originally from Wisconsin so she was all about Culver's. Not knowing what to expect, I literally pictured the dessert as an actual custard, that after baking, it was frozen and somehow you have to dig into it with a fork and knife. Not only was that a false image, but I was surprised that Culver's was a fast food chain restaurant....all along I thought it was just a dessert spot. Nonetheless, we came here only for one thing- the frozen custard. Flavor of the day: butter brickle (blended butter pecan enhanced with chewy chunks of Heath Bar); smooth and creamy, the texture in between gelato and ice cream. I didn't even want to know how many calories was in a small serving...after all, I was on vacation and had the right to splurge.
I don't think I'd come back for the frozen custard...I'd rather spend my calorie intake on gelato, ice cream, or frozen yogurt. But hey, at least now I can say that I've had frozen custards before!
