Shake Shack is a fast-food chain known for its delicious burgers and hot dogs, but is especially loved for its signature Concretes. Made with fresh-made frozen custard and blended with chunks of tasty mix-ins, they’re a must-have for summertime. And now Shake Shack has shared their exclusive Concrete recipe so you can make these creamy frozen treats at home!


FROZEN VANILLA CUSTARD
The master recipe for most of the Shake Shack Concretes.

SERVINGS

1 quart

PREP TIME

45 min

+ chill time

COOK TIME

N/A

Ingredients

  • 5
    egg yolks
  • 1/2
    cup sugar
  • 1 1/2
    cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2
    cups milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1
    teaspoon good quality pure vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1

    Put the egg yolks and sugar into a heavy medium sauce pan and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the cream and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the custard reaches a temperature of 170 F on an instant-read thermometer or is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.

  2. 2

    Strain the custard into a medium bowl. Stir in the salt and vanilla. Set that bowl into a larger bowl filled with ice, then stir the custard frequently until it has cooled. Cover the custard and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 4 hours.

  3. 3

    Churn the custard in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s instructions. Scoop the custard into a quart container with a lid, cover and store in the freezer for at least 2 hours, until firm. Custard can be kept up to a month in the freezer.
