Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete ice cream
What is concrete ice cream?
Concrete ice cream is a very thick frozen-custard dessert blended with mix-ins such as cookies, candy, or fruit. It is usually eaten with a spoon and is much less drinkable than a milkshake.
Why is concrete ice cream called “concrete”?
The name refers to its dense consistency: a well-made serving is thick enough to be turned upside down without falling out of the cup. That upside-down presentation is a familiar part of the dessert’s appeal.
Is concrete ice cream the same as frozen custard?
No. Frozen custard is the egg-yolk-based frozen dessert used as the base; concrete ice cream is frozen custard blended with mix-ins until thick. The terms describe related things, but not the same preparation.
Where did concrete ice cream come from?
Concrete ice cream is closely associated with St. Louis, Missouri, and its frozen-custard shops. Ted Drewes Frozen Custard helped make the name and the thick, mix-in-filled style especially famous.
What makes concrete ice cream so thick?
Its thickness comes from using dense frozen custard and blending in the additions without turning the dessert into a drink. It is served immediately, before it has time to soften much.
What is usually mixed into concrete ice cream?
Common mix-ins include chocolate, cookies, candy, nuts, and fruit. They are blended directly into the frozen custard, so the additions are spread throughout rather than simply placed on top.
How is concrete ice cream different from a milkshake?
Concrete ice cream is a spoonable frozen-custard dessert with a dense texture, while a milkshake is blended with enough liquid to drink through a straw. Concrete ice cream also commonly contains mix-ins throughout.
Can you make concrete ice cream at home?
Yes. Blend firm frozen custard or ice cream briefly with your chosen mix-ins, stopping as soon as they are distributed. Blending for too long warms and loosens the dessert, making it less like a concrete.
Does concrete ice cream have to be served upside down?
No, turning the cup upside down is a customary show of how thick the concrete is, not a requirement. It should still be served promptly, since even a dense frozen dessert softens as it warms.
Can you freeze leftover concrete ice cream?
Yes. Put leftovers in a covered freezer-safe container, but expect the texture to become firmer and less freshly blended. Let it soften briefly before eating, rather than blending it for a long time.

What is Concrete ice cream?
Concrete ice cream is a St. Louis specialty made by blending thick frozen custard with mix-ins such as sweets, fruit or nuts. Its name refers to the unusually firm texture: it is thick enough to hold its shape rather than melting into a soft, runny dessert. It is frozen custard, not simply a name for ordinary scooped ice cream.
In St. Louis, it is commonly served in a cup and eaten with a spoon, with the chosen toppings blended throughout. Elsewhere, it makes a rich treat to share or enjoy in a small portion after a meal. The custard and add-ins make it energy-dense, so fruit or a smaller serving can balance its sweetness.
