The newest sensation sweeping the nation (on Ambergris Caye anyway) is DandE’s Frozen Custard and Sorbet! Dan and Eileen Jamison (D and E), former owners of The San Pedro Sun, are busy introducing the island to the delightful flavors of the finest in frozen desserts.

  The biggest question on everyone’s mind: What is frozen custard? Premium ice cream! The product is called custard because egg is one of many quality ingredients used to produce this unique type of ice cream. To make this real to some people, “Similar to baked custard, frozen custard is made with egg, cream and sugar. Instead of throwing this mixture into the oven, our product is first pasteurized. When the base is mixed with DandE’s own special recipes you come up with the wonderful fresh flavors served every day at DandE’s. The “Not Just” Vanilla and Double Rich Chocolate are on the menu every day plus a variety of “flavors of the day” which include such favorites such as: Cheesecake, Sour sop, Mango, Pina Colada, Coconut, Black Cherry, Chocolate Chip Mint, Butter Pecan plus many more.

   What sets DandE’s frozen desserts apart from all the rest. “Frozen custard is churned as it freezes, like old-fashioned, hand-cranked ice cream. The result is a creamy texture similar to soft butter. As a result of this process, frozen custard also weighs nearly twice as much as regular ice cream which is whipped with air. In the end, you get a denser, creamier product – so a pint, or 16 ounces, actually equals one pound.”

  Easy to get to, DandE’s Frozen Custard and Sorbet is conveniently located on Pescador Drive (Middle Street) in downtown San Pedro, next to Caramba Restaurant. A variety of tempting aromas greet visitors entering the door to this cozy dessert emporium. Inside, the brightly colored characters adorning their enchanting wall mural, painted by local artist Valley Ruddick, give you the idea that frozen custard is something everyone must experience.

  Customers at DandE’s are welcome to sample any of the delicious desserts du jour. For the calorie conscious, DandE’s also features a selection of fine fruit sorbets bursting with flavor. Described to local residents as a frozen “fruit ideal,” sorbet was (and still is) traditionally served to cleanse the pallet (rinse the taste buds) between courses at special dinners, and after sampling individual items at wine and cheese tasting events. A low fat, low calorie delight, sorbet is now a preferred treat for people focusing on healthier lifestyles. The DandE’s selection of sorbets continues to expand and includes strawberry, mango, raspberry, watermelon and pineapple, to name but a few.

   DandE’s Frozen Custard & Sorbet also serves thick, delicious shakes and mouth watering sundaes and banana boats – tasty treats not to be missed while on Ambergris Caye.

  Stop in today, because as the sign says, “If you like ice cream, you will LOVE DandE’s Frozen Custard & Sorbet!”
