The Hands-Down Best Culver's Frozen Custard Flavor Is Based On A Classic Dessert And Topped With Fresh Fruit
Stopping at a fast food drive-thru for ice cream is an age-old pastime. But instead of ordering plain soft serve or sundaes, head to Culver's for custard. The Midwestern chain specializes in the thicker, richer version of ice cream, made with slow-churned milk, cream, and pasteurized eggs. You'll find all sorts of delightful toppings on the menu, including the consistently rotating "Flavor of the Day." Still, it can be hard to pick a favorite, so we'll present ours for your consideration: Raspberry Cheesecake.
Out of 12 Culver's custard flavors we tried and ranked, Raspberry Cheesecake was No. 1. The popular "Flavor of the Day" features sweet raspberries and cheesecake pieces on a serving of vanilla custard. Our taster loved the real raspberries, which were juicy and bright, and how well their fruity flavor balanced out the delicate taste of cream cheese from the cheesecake bites. The toppings don't overpower the creamy vanilla base, and it wasn't overly rich like other cheesecake flavors. All in all, if you're a fan of fruity desserts, it's a must-try.
What Culver's fans think of this flavor
Many Culver's fans second this Raspberry Cheesecake love. One Redditor said it's "so sweet and creamy and so many real raspberries in it and cheesecake pieces," to which someone replied, "As a Wisconsinite I whole heartedly agree." One Facebook user posted, "It's so fricken delicious I even got a few pints to put in the freezer," while another, who tried the flavor for the first time, said, "It was SO good. I think I liked it better than the blueberry cheesecake custard."
While you can swing by Culver's just for custard, we suggest pairing it with other delicious menu items. If you're hungry for a meal, order it alongside a Butterburger Value Basket with crinkle-cut fries and a fountain drink. Or pair it with iconic Culver's sides like onion rings or Wisconsin cheese curds — two crispy, salty appetizers that'll prepare your palate for your sweet custard treat.
