The Best Freddy's Custard Flavor On The Menu Outshines Turtle And Reese's

For many, Freddy's is the undisputed king of custard, a thicker, richer alternative to traditional ice cream made with egg yolks. And there's no shortage of flavors to choose from, including favorites like the Reese's Royale, loaded with Reese's Peanut Butter Sauce and peanut butter cups, and the Signature Turtle, featuring hot fudge, toasted pecans, and hot caramel. However, there's one custard flavor we liked best of all. In our ranking of 10 Freddy's custard flavors, our taste tester crowned the Peanut Butter Bananza Concrete the winner, with its delightful mix of just three components: vanilla custard, Reese's peanut butter cups, and banana. They described it as "essentially a more indulgent version of your classic peanut butter banana smoothie." 

The thick, creamy custard makes the combination even more indulgent, while the bits of chocolatey peanut butter cups add a texture with extra richness. Our taste tester noted that the banana flavor was "fairly subdued," and actually wished it were a little stronger, preferably with even more banana chunks mixed in. Still, they thought "Freddy's executed this combination really well." They especially liked that it wasn't another typical ice cream flavor featuring Oreos or a basic Reese's combination.

So, what makes it better than the Reese's Royale or Signature Turtle? The Reese's Royale doubles down on peanut butter with Reese's PB sauce and peanut butter cups, creating a richer, more peanut-butter-forward treat, although our reviewer wished it had more candy pieces. Meanwhile, the Signature Turtle has that buttery, chocolatey combination of fudge and caramel, with toasted pecans adding a welcome crunch. Both are delicious in their own right, but the Peanut Butter Bananza's fruitier flavor ultimately won over our taste tester.

We aren't the only fans of this delicious frozen treat. Many fans across social media have been pleasantly surprised with its thick, creamy consistency and blend of fruity and chocolatey mix-ins. "The Peanut Butter Bananza when it's concrete is elite," raves one commenter on Reddit in a thread about a Freddy's order featuring the dessert. Another reviewer on YouTube also enjoyed the Peanut Butter Bananza, praising its "nice peanut butter flavor" and "little chunks of chocolate." They particularly liked the custard's creamy consistency, noting that it wasn't overly thick but was still thick enough to stay on the spoon. Another TikTok reviewer said it was "so good," and they "love the banana pieces," adding that "this is heaven."

Of course, the concrete is good enough on its own, but it's begging to be a part of a savory and salty pairing like Freddy's shoestring fries, the Steakburger Taco, or the Prime Rib Steakburger, our pick for the best Freddy's burger overall. You can also customize your order by choosing a mini, regular, or large size, or switching up the frozen custard base with chocolate or half and half. You can even add more of your favorite mix-ins for about a dollar each. For this Concrete, you can't go wrong with hot fudge or chocolate syrup, or you can experiment with toasted pecans, M&Ms, and Oreo cookie pieces. And if you want to recreate some of those flavors at home, these toppings also work well in homemade banana and peanut butter ice cream.
