Or I could just be overlooking it. Thu Sep 24 17:05:40 -0700 2009 166787 beth1 1 5056479 Niederfranks makes one or two flavors, seasonally. The website lists stores and restaurants that sell their ice creams. www.niederfranks.com Thu Sep 24 17:45:07 -0700 2009 5056429 12123 Cathy 1 5056538 Strickland's in Irvine. They call it ice cream because nobody around here knows what Frozen custard is. www.stricklands.info Dont' forget to let us know how you liked it! Thu Sep 24 18:23:20 -0700 2009 5056429 13137 jackattack 2 5056636 I was excited to think there was real frozen custard in SoCal when I saw this thread. I moved here from Wisconsin, and Strickland's appeared similar to many of the custard places back there, but on further examination: This is the ingredient list posted on their website for the Vanilla Ice Cream: Milk, Cream, Sugar, Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Whey, Mono & Diglycerides, Dextrose, Cellulose Gum, Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate, Carrageenan, Vanilla, Vanillin, and Annatto Color. Unless they are leaving something out of that list, it's not frozen custard. Custard must have egg yolks in it, right? Thu Sep 24 19:04:22 -0700 2009 5056538 211489 tanzbodeli 3 5057239 Yup, it's got to have eggs in it to be the real deal.

I haven't tried their's yet, but I intend to when I happen to be in the neighborhood. www.jimmisredhots.com/index.html Thu Sep 24 20:24:32 -0700 2009 5056429 65763 Encinitan 1 5057270 Some reason frozen custard will never catch on in Southern California. My favorite used to be a place called Lickity Split which started in El Segundo and they added a few branches and was gone a year or so later. Fri Sep 25 06:13:43 -0700 2009 5056429 11914 monku 2 5058748 Five plus years ago, there was a place in Poway called True Hearts Frozen Custard (you can find it in the Chowhound Wayback machine). They had a honest to goodness frozen custard, but it was important to get a fresh batch (the stuff just doesn't age that well). Near the end, they were just another "cold stone ice cream" place, with vanilla and chocolate custard around just to stay honest to their name. The odd thing is that in many ways, the whole cold stone ice cream idea was almost a manual, more complex version of what was done in the custard machines with the more complex flavors. I think the reason why it doesn't catch on is the name. A lot of people simply think that "frozen custard" is what they commonly know as custard, frozen. Many that try it end up preferring it to ice cream, but point out "this isn't custard." It's funny how these things run in phases, though. Since that time, many of the cold stone ice cream places have closed shop, too, only to be replaced by the ubiquitous frozen yogurt stands. Hmmmm...

I remember fro-yo joints like TCBY and a bunch of others. I hate frozen yogurt but I liked frozen custard from Lickity Split. Still have to get to Stricklands even though it isn't frozen custard, sounds like a great place for ice cream.

No, it is not your imagination. What these places have is far different than what you'd get at the TCBY places, in my opinion. Over five of them have popped up in the UTC area alone in the past few years, which is hardly a surprise. Fri Sep 25 16:43:27 -0700 2009 5058797 10969 RB Hound 1 5059346 Theron's Frozen Custard in Redlands is pretty good. They have two flavors, vanilla and chocolate, plus a seasonal flavor.
