Etymology
Frozen custard comes from a simple, literal idea: cooks take creamy custard made from eggs, cream and sugar and freeze or churn it until it becomes a cold dessert. Because it starts as custard rather than plain milk, the result is richer and smoother than 'ice cream', so the name explains the dessert's taste and texture.
