Custard

[Evadig]

Should custard resemble half-and-half or ice cream?

Asking because the custard at Culver's (a fast food restaurant local to the northern Midwest) tastes like a creamy ice cream, but I am currently drinking custard that tastes like a creamy half-and-half.

I also tried making custard that ended up tasting more like a pudding.

So what should it be?

I think custard is supposed to be like a thicker more pudding like ice cream. But idk maybe depends on the type.

I don't have much experience but when I made it it definitely resembled more of a pudding than ice cream or half and half.
And the recipe I used said that was when it would be done

Culvers calls theirs "frozen custard" so I feel like that would be different from regular custard regardless.

And for your question, I like any kind of custard. Lol

That might explain it!

That was mine experience too, so maybe I made it right?

The store-boughten stuff was like condensed milk, now that I think about it...

Is a frozen custard the same as a "concrete"?

 

[saysfaa]

My mom's recipe and my variations of her recipe make something neither ice cream nor half and half in either taste or texture. Taste is somewhat like eggnog - I taste vanilla, nutmeg, and sugar as much or more than the eggs or milk. Texture is quite a bit like scrambled eggs made with cottage cheese but much smoother and more slippery.

Hey, that was a serious question.
