Making Frozen custard - basic questions Wed, 02/9/11 6:50 PM (permalink)
Hi
 
I am just beginning to plan for opening a frozen custard shop.  Looking for any idea of the amount of milk and/or cream needed to make one gallon of frozen custard.

    This page may help.  Check the two links on the right of the web page - "Profit Stories" and "Frozen Custard?"  http://www.taylor-company...t/bd_frozencustard.htm
     
    Consider having a local dairy or national supplier provide frozen custard mix as opposed to making your own.

      If you are making it yourself...research gelato. It has the lowest overrun (with the right machine...avoid machines that make ice cream gelato custard et all). It will provide a very similar (even better when right) texture as a frozen custard....with the lowest amount of butterfat.

          You're welcome.
           
          Your gelato is gelato...but when your gelato meets the USDA requirements to be marketed as a frozen custard (10% butterfat 1.4% egg yolk solids) your gelato can also be frozen custard.
