In case you haven’t tasted frozen custard before, it is like a premium
form of ice-cream but made with eggs,
cream and sugar. To qualify as frozen custard, it must contain at least 1.4% of egg
yolk - the nutritious egg yolk is a natural stabiliser, used in place of
gelatin and other artificial stabilisers, to support the structure and maintain
the shape of the ice-cream. Frozen Custard
also contains less air content (since it is churned fresh on-site with a
continuous freezer instead of the batch freezer used for other ice-creams such
as gelatos) so as to
achieve a velvety texture and tastes denser than usual ice-cream.
It is also
essentially a healthier dessert choice since it contains lesser sugar (in fact
half the amount of sugar of regular frozen yoghurt) with the natural sweetness
that comes from natural ingredients used such as premium fresh milk and egg
yolks.
As it is made at a slightly higher
temperature (-12 deg C) than conventional ice cream (around -18 deg C), so act
fast before it melts instagrammers (unless you order the sorbet)! That said,
its temperature and absence of ice crystals allows you to enjoy frozen goodness
without numbing your tongue!
A pretty bold and passionate challenger in the already saturated cold
desserts scene I must say, with huge emphasis on quality over quantity. Just like fine dining where the chef decides, Density
focuses on serving only three inventive flavours of its frozen custard selected
each day.
We have
tried all 3 flavors of the day during our visit: Sundae with 2 creamy flavors Madagascar Vanilla Bean (Using only gourmet-quality vanilla beans sourced directly from
Madagascar) and Cookie Butter Cheesecake garnished with matcha granola and oreo cookie crumbs toppings; as well as Yuzu Sorbet (topped with
berries). We sampled a mouthful of matcha green tea as well. :D
Verdict: Dense, intense and velvety.
We like the yuzu sorbet best which is refreshingly
zesty and sweet without a
slight tinge of bitterness. It’s so
good on its own that we can fervently believe we can still enjoy without
addition of the toppings.
While Density offers an extensive array of toppings like berries, cookie crumbs, nuts, cereals
and sauces, we do enjoy this classic product with no frills at all!
Prices were $4 for single scoop, $7 for double, $9.50 for triple, and $9 for a two scoop sundae with 2 toppings and sauce.
