A History as Rich as Gelato

Did you know? Coney Island is the original hometown of the Frozen Custard, invented in 1919 when two Coney Island ice cream vendors, Archie and Elton Kohr, found that adding egg yolks to ice cream helped create a smoother texture and kept the ice cream cold longer. According to some reports, he sold 18,460 cones of the frozen custard novelty in one weekend. 😳

Ice Cream, Gelato, Frozen Custard? What’s the difference? 🤔

Apart from the egg in the custard, well, nothing, technically. While air is not typically thought of as an ingredient, it is one of the characteristics that sets the frozen treats apart. The air, though not deliberately forced into the cream, is inherently incorporated into the creamy treats by mixing and affects both denseness and consistency. Typically, a traditional soft serve will be comprised of about 50% air, while gelato and frozen custard enjoy higher densities. On average, gelato and frozen custards are comprised of 7.5-15% air. Other differences in the three categories include the fat content in the cream. 👩‍🔬
