Our founder, Archie C. Kohr, was born in York, PA in 1893 on the family's dairy farm. He was a teacher and to supplement his income, he and his two teenage brothers started a home delivery milk business.
In 1917, Archie wanted to expand his business by selling homemade ice cream to his customers. He had developed a special recipe and purchased a locally made batch ice cream freezer. But it didn't work properly.
He tore the machine apart, reconfigured the gearing and bearings, reshaped the barrel and blades and ran his recipe through it once more. The result was perfection! In the summer of 1919 they took Archie's new machine and his
fabulous frozen custard recipe to Coney Island's boardwalk.
The first weekend they sold 18,460 cones at a nickel a piece - and the rest is history.

We discovered that, at Coney Island around 1920, vendors began using egg yolk in their vanilla ice cream to make it extra smooth and creamy. This popular concoction, called frozen custard, was enormously popular through the Depression and the War years because it was delicious and inexpensive. Problem was, real frozen custard was becoming increasingly hard to find since, by the 1960s, most custard makers, in an effort to increase profits, began lowering the cream (butterfat) content and increasing the amount of overrun (air) in their products.

Our frozen custard recipe, our own secret formula, is very simular to the Premium Ice Cream/Frozen Custard which was the rage on the midway of Coney Island, New York in the mid 1920's. It was served with customized ice-cream machines that have been in existence just as long (1921 to be exact) which we still offer you today. This special combination of recipe and machine, which we offer our distributors, allows you to make one of the finest frozen dessert products in the world.

History of Custard
Perhaps the best-kept and tastiest secret is a variety of ice cream known as fresh frozen custard. Custard has become so popular that Milwaukee, Wisconsin, probably sells more fresh frozen custard than anywhere else and is known as the "Custard Capital of the World." Fresh frozen custard originated on Coney Island in New York about 1919. Custard was first sold as a carnival treat. Because it tasted so good, it quickly grew in popularity. In the ensuing years, custard was being sold on the boardwalk of Atlantic City along with other East Coast resort communities. By 1932, the Kirckauf family of Lafayette, Indiana, discovered custard and opened their first stand in that city. This store is still in operation and is considered by most to be the oldest continuously operating custard stand in the country. In 1933, the promoters of the Chicago World's Fair decided to introduce fresh frozen custard for the fair. The product was an instant success and quickly found its way to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and spread throughout the Midwest. The popularity continues today and is growing farther to the south and west and virtually across the country. i.c. sweets is continuing the tradition today by bringing this quality fresh frozen custard dessert to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. To our knowledge, this is the first frozen custard store of its kind in the Northwest.

Frozen custard is a form of ice cream made from old-fashioned ice cream recipes with a touch of egg yolk. In addition to the egg yolk, frozen custard is made in special machines so as not to whip as much air in as ice cream, making for a smoother, richer taste sensation.
In the beginning...
There have been legends that frozen custard was created by an ice cream vender who added eggs to ice cream as an emulsifier to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly. To his delight and our gratitude today, a new premium ice cream had been discovered. This ice cream with it's richer taste and
smoother texture became known as frozen custard. Kohr Bros., in Charlottesville, Va., claims that its founder, Archie C. Kohr, invented the first frozen custard machine in 1919 and took it to Coney Island, where it's said 18,460 cones were
sold in the first weekend. Venders soon took this treat across the country to carnivals and circuses. Shortly after frozen custard stands were found on the east coast along the beaches and boardwalks. By the 1940s there were hundreds of stands across the east coast and mid-west.
