Custard Ice Creams

Dreyer's Frozen Custard Ice Cream Adds a Chill to a Classic Dessert

Rather than being served in its traditional form, Dreyer's Frozen Custard ice cream is served chilled. The dessert is described as "rich, extra thick and creamy," made made with fresh milk and egg yolks, without any artificial preservatives.

The frozen treat comes in a variety of flavors, including an original Old Fashioned Vanilla, as well as some novelty flavors like Chocolate Malt, Mint Cookies 'N Cream, Peanut Butter Pie, Snickerdoodle and Salted Caramel Pretzel. In comparison to Dreyer's Grand line of desserts, the Frozen Custard products are thicker, heavier and prove it by having more calories. If you're a fan of custard as a dessert, this will be a sweet treat to cool off with, even if it is a little more indulgent as a dairy product.
