National Frozen Custard Day 2021: Simple Recipe To Make The Icy Delights At Home

Frozen custard is a delightful treat that is similar to ice cream both in terms of taste and texture. However, what makes them a little different from ice cream is that egg yolks are used in the recipe. The classic custards are served chilled with a drizzle of choicest syrups and dotted with several nuts and other toppings.

The frozen custards are the delicious alternative to ice creams and whether you make a pudding-like consistency or thicker, it is a win-win in both ways. National Frozen Custard Day, which falls on Aug. 8, celebrates the tasty dessert, and to mark this occasion, here is a simple recipe to make this tasty treat at home.
