Do you love the frozen custard sold at places like Culvers? I do! I recently got an ice cream maker and decided to give homemade frozen custard a try. It’s not that hard to make, but the process is somewhat time-consuming. It’s not for anyone who demands immediate gratification. Trust me though… the final result is worth the wait!
Frugal Tip: When a recipe calls for only egg yolks or egg whites, don’t throw the other part away! They can frozen and kept for later use.
