The Ultimate Peanut Butter Custard Combinations

According to CNBC, peanut butter can be found in approximately 90% of U.S. households. Whether eaten with a spoon, spread on bread, used as a dip or integrated into a multitude of dishes, peanut butter is a nuanced and versatile ingredient. To other components like chocolate or fruity jam, the salty, nutty lusciousness of peanut butter also serves as a frequent complement. Transformed into frozen peanut butter custard treats, this ingredient offers utter decadence and works well in a variety of delicious combinations. For those who can enjoy all that this incredible custard flavor has to offer, explore how to create your own frozen peanut butter custard combinations and three of the top-selling creations on the Freddy’s menu.

Creating the Ultimate Peanut Butter Custard Combinations

Whether you’re making your own frozen peanut butter custard or have a pint or quart of Freddy’s rich and creamy vanilla or chocolate custard available in your freezer, there are many ways to create delicious peanut butter custard treats. When that next peanut butter craving strikes, try mixing, matching or multiplying the following components to make the ultimate frozen peanut butter custard combinations at Freddy’s or at home.

Nutty: Increase the nuttiness to amp up the flavor by adding a peanut butter swirl or sauce. Many nut components also enhance the overall dish through both complementary taste and textural contrast. For example, chop up your favorite peanut, such as the salted or honey-roasted variety. Break up some peanut brittle for the topping, or dip pieces of it into the custard.

Salty: In addition to chopped nuts, there are other ways to enhance the saltiness and textural contrasts in a frozen peanut butter custard creation. With a sprinkle of finishing salt and candied bacon or crushed potato chips and pretzels, continue building layers of flavor while offering various textures in your custard treat. You might also try a salted caramel sauce like this one from Sally’s Baking Recipes.

Sweet: Peanut butter may not be as inherently sweet as some other custard flavors or mix-ins. Fruits like strawberries and bananas bring some natural sweetness to a peanut butter custard creation, while chocolate in sauce, candy, cake or cookie form is another popular pairing. To take your frozen peanut butter custard creation to the next level, consider using treats like OREO® cookies, brownies, cheesecake bites, cookie dough or chocolate chips on top or mixed right into the frozen custard.
