| Questions and Concerns about Food Allergies Our frozen custard and ice cream is made on-site from our own recipes, with ingredients we choose and purchase. We know what's in every cup or cone we serve. If you or a family member has an allergy or sensitivity to certain foods, please don't hesitate to ask us about the ingredients we use to make our products. Last year, Molly wrote an article on pediatric food allergies for Body and Mind magazine, so we understand your concerns and look forward to assisting you in attending to the health and well-being of your family. |
Is this a franchise?
No.
In 2006, we traveled to St. Louis, Missouri, where
we learned to make authentic, home-made
frozen custard at "Scoop School," sponsored by
Ross Stoelting, the company that manufactures
our machines. At Scoop School, we also learned
how to develop our own recipes for frozen
custard.
Is this your only store?
Yes.
Hans Frozen Custard opened in 2007 at the
Broad Street Market in downtown Harrisburg. It
was a great location, but the hours were limited.
On April 15, 2010, we opened our shop on
Williams Grove Rd. in Upper Allen Township.
What's the difference between
frozen custard and ice cream?
Home-made frozen custard is made during the
day every day, with fresh ingredients. Frozen
custard contains less butterfat than ice cream. It
also includes a percentage of egg yolk solids.
The Midwest style frozen custard is extruded
into a dipping bucket and - though it has a soft
consistency - it is scooped into dishes and
cones.
Frozen custard has less air incorporated into it
and is not as cold as ice cream. At Hans Frozen
Custard, you will find chocolate and vanilla bean
frozen custard in addition to an assortment of
our own home-made premium ice cream.
Sample some of each and taste the difference
for yourself !
Why did you stop making custard
flavors other than vanilla bean and
chocolate?
Because frozen custard is made fresh every day,
all day, each flavor requires its own "barrel" on
the machine, which limits us to only three flavors
a day - chocolate, vanilla and one other.
We had many requests for "more flavors - more
often." Many of our most popular flavors (black
raspberry, coconut, coffee, peanut butter, butter
pecan, banana - among others) appeared on the
calender only once or twice a month.
Ed researched the process of presenting these
same flavors in our own, home-made version of
premium ice cream so that they would be readily
available more often. In 2010, he returned to St.
Louis to consult with the experts at Stoelting
who assisted him in finding the right equipment
and showed him how to adapt our recipes for
home-made ice cream.
How do you choose your flavors?
Do you take suggestions?
Some of our ideas for flavors originated at Scoop
School. Many others have come from customer
requests. We love to offer your favorite flavors -
and experiment with new flavors that could
become your favorite !
