Frozen Custard from Meadows of Grovetown

Frozen Custard from Meadows of Grovetown

What is frozen custard, you might ask? It’s basically the richest and creamiest ice cream you’ve ever tasted. Unlike regular ice cream, frozen custard is made with the addition of egg yolk. This creates superior smoothness.

Meadows of Grovetown makes their custard onsite daily with premium ingredients like real sugar and high-fat butter. It’s so delicious that you might find it hard to go back to regular ice cream after your first taste! Their specialty flavors change daily, so check out their calendar to plan your visit. We’re drooling to try their peanut butter oreo swirl, raspberry cheesecake and fluffernutter custard.
