Frosty Beer & Pretzels Frozen Custard

Frozen Custard made with a beer flavoring.   Never had it.  Try it and make your own version.  Use Guinness Stout, or your own local brew.    But remember, unless you have a commercial ice cream maker, the alcohol lowers the freezing temperature, so you must limit your exhuberance to a light flavoring or you will have a white soup instead of Frozen Custard in the home machines that use ice with salt or the frozen bowl method of chilling the ingredients.  These home machines just do not have enough cooling power to overcome a really low freezing temperature.

Roasted Strawberry Frozen Custard

This a GloriaGoodtaste spin on a Strawberry Frozen Custard Recipe. By roasting the small chunks of cut strawberries, you intensify the flavors and eliminate the problem of hard rock like strawberries in this frozen dessert. The achieved flavor (caramelized strawberry) is very intense and extremely addictive.  However, 1 pound of strawberries does not go a long way.  So it is a good idea to make this recipe at this time of year when strawberries are plentiful.  However, once you taste it, you will become a convert to this type of Strawberry Frozen Custard.
