French Custard vs Gelato
French custard and gelato are both beloved frozen desserts, but they differ in base, texture, and technique. Here's what makes La Glace's French custard ice cream unique.
The Custard Base
French custard ice cream is made with egg yolks, cream, and sugar cooked into a rich custard base, giving it a dense, velvety texture.
How Gelato Differs
Gelato typically uses more milk than cream and is churned slower with less air, resulting in a denser, less rich texture than French custard.
Why We Choose Custard
At La Glace, we craft our ice cream the traditional French way for a richer, creamier bite in every scoop, made fresh in Lincoln Park.
