Frozen custard was invented in New York back in 1919 by to guys, who sold it on Coney Island. The first weekend on the boardwalk they sold 18,460 custard cones. I hope you try this delicious recipe- you don't even need an ice cream maker for this one! Custard is a lot creamier and richer than ice cream, because of the eggs whites whipped into the heavy cream and sugar mixture when partially frozen. I think you are going to love this!
