For many people, that means a trip to your localfrozen custardstand, where creamy, chilly treats await.
To help you find your frozen fix, I sampled cups from four national chains.
Alas, it was not meant to be.

However, I did find a surprising new favorite during that fateful visit.
I tried all three flavors, paying $4.29 per cup.
Meanwhile, the vanilla custard contained noticeably large ice shards that detracted from its otherwise creamy appearance.

The flavor was certainly reminiscent of dark chocolate, but with delightful notes of tropical pineapple and coconut.
That second custard in my freezer did not survive the evening.
The icy shards in the vanilla ruined whatever creaminess the custard might have had.

The kitchen churns custard throughout the day in smaller batches, and that freshness is discernible in the cup.
No sense rushing through a delicious burger to keep your custard from melting!
The taste:The custard was smooth and dense with rich dairy and vanilla flavors.

Itsfreshness was immediately apparent in its straightforward consistency and delightfully strong vanilla flavor.
The tasty custard proved a delicious base for the sundae, too.
(Hence, the car hood custard photo.)

Choosing your custard flavor is easy, either vanilla or chocolate.
I ordered a small size of both both vanilla and chocolate for $5.49 each.
Meanwhile, the chocolate tasted a little bit sweeter than others, and the consistency was not as dense.
I ordered asmall size of the vanilla and chocolate custards for $2.49 each.
The taste:The vanilla flavor was strong and natural-tasting.
