A new dessert store on Short Street (next to Rochor Original Beancurd) adds a cool new variation to our growing ice cream market – frozen custard. With the escalating trend of soft serve and bingsu cafes sprouting around Singapore, it’s apparent that we cannot and probably will never get enough of these icy cold treats – especially with the impending temperature increase we’ve been warned about. Enter Density Frozen Custard.

What is Frozen Custard?

Compared to the traditional ice cream and gelato, frozen custards are lower in both calories and sugar, made with natural ingredients such as milk, cream and the inclusion of egg yolks, which acts as a natural stabilizer. This decade old “super-premium ice-cream” originates from the Midwest in U.S.A., home to at least 50 frozen custard shops. See also: 10 Ice Cream Places You May Not Have Heard Of

Three fresh ice-cream flavours daily

To ensure freshness of the frozen custard, Density serves just three flavours a day – the mainstay, Madagascan Vanilla Bean, a Chocolate-based flavour such as Rocher or Quadruple Chocolate, as well as a daily special. Some trendy and unique choices to look out for: Buttered Popcorn, Red Velvet and Matcha. Once you’ve decided on the flavour, choose to have it as a scoop ($4 for one, $7 for 2 and $9.50 for 3), sundae, concrete (from $9) or an affogato ($7.50) that consists of an espresso shot using freshly roasted coffee beans from local brand Two Degrees North. An extensive array of toppings like berries, cookie crumbs, nuts and cereals come at a cost of $1, while lashings of sauces come with a top-up of 50 cents.
