What Counts As Frozen Custard Here
At this stand, “frozen custard” means churned dairy with egg yolks. The base runs rich and dense. Air stays low, so each ounce carries more weight than soft serve.
The brand posts nutrition for the plain base in vanilla and chocolate. Those numbers are set on a 4-ounce scoop. From there, cups, cones, sundaes, concretes, shakes, and malts scale up by size and by toppings.
Sizes, Per-Ounce Math, And A Quick Table
The base nutrition is the anchor. Vanilla lands at about 50 calories per ounce (200 ÷ 4). Chocolate lands near 52.5 calories per ounce (210 ÷ 4). Use that to estimate plain servings.
| Menu Size | Vanilla kcal (est.) | Chocolate kcal (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Cone — Small (5.5 oz) | ≈ 275 | ≈ 289 |
| Cone — Medium (7.5 oz) | ≈ 375 | ≈ 394 |
| Cone — Large (11 oz) | ≈ 550 | ≈ 578 |
| Cone — Jumbo (13 oz) | ≈ 650 | ≈ 683 |
| Sundae — Kids’ (5.5 oz base) | ≈ 275 | ≈ 289 |
| Sundae — Regular (8.5 oz base) | ≈ 425 | ≈ 446 |
| Sundae — Large (11.5 oz base) | ≈ 575 | ≈ 604 |
| Concrete — Small (10.5 oz base) | ≈ 525 | ≈ 552 |
| Concrete — Medium (14.5 oz base) | ≈ 725 | ≈ 761 |
| Concrete — Large (21 oz base) | ≈ 1050 | ≈ 1103 |
| Shake — Small (16 oz base) | ≈ 800 | ≈ 840 |
| Shake — Large (24 oz base) | ≈ 1200 | ≈ 1260 |
| Malt — Small (16 oz base) | ≈ 800 | ≈ 840 |
| Malt — Large (24 oz base) | ≈ 1200 | ≈ 1260 |
Those figures reflect the base only. Cones, sauces, cookie dough, brownies, nuts, fruit, and candy add more. A concrete with mix-ins can climb fast, since the cup holds dense custard plus toppings.
Macro Snapshot Per Scoop
A 4-ounce vanilla base sits around 10 grams fat, 21 grams carbs, and 4 grams protein. Chocolate trends to 10 grams fat, 23 grams carbs, and 5 grams protein. Calcium shows up as well, since the dessert starts with milk.
What Drives The Numbers Up
Mix-Ins And Syrups
Chocolate fudge, caramel, butterscotch, and peanut butter can add triple-digit calories per heavy pour. Candy mix-ins and cookie dough do the same. Fruit adds less, yet syrup on top can swing it back up.
Cones, Cups, And Whip
Waffle cones and bowls bring their own load. A sugar cone lands lower, while a waffle bowl can rival a scoop. Whipped topping is light by weight, yet it still brings fat and sugar.
Malts And Shakes
Shakes and malts use a larger liquid volume. The base alone reaches hundreds of calories before you add syrups. A malt adds powder, which bumps carbs and calories further.
Andy’s Frozen Custard Nutrition — Menu Sizes Explained
Portion is the lever you control most. The posted scoop is four ounces. That’s a tidy cup, not a mountain. Cones and concretes move far past that mark. When you know the ounces, the calorie math falls into place.
Why Per-Ounce Helps
Staff pour by feel. One maker may pack a cup tighter than another. Per-ounce numbers smooth out those swings. If you see a 7.5-ounce medium cone, multiply by the per-ounce figure, and you’re set. It’s a quick, practical way to compare orders.
Reading The Board
Many stores list sizes near the register. If the ounces aren’t printed, ask. You’ll get better at eyeballing once you know what 4, 8, 12, and 16 ounces look like in a cup.
Sugar, Fat, Protein — What To Expect
The base pulls in sugar from dairy and added sucrose. A 4-ounce vanilla scoop sits near 17 grams of sugar, with chocolate around 19 grams. Fat lands near 10 grams for both flavors. Protein sits in the 4–5 gram range thanks to milk and egg yolks.
Mix-ins shift the balance. Candy and cookie pieces push sugar up fast. Nuts add fat and a touch of protein. Fruit keeps sugar present yet brings water, which lowers calorie density for the same cup size.
Sodium And Calcium, Briefly
Salt is modest in the base. A small scoop lands under 100 milligrams. Toppings can shift both a bit, though the base drives most of the totals.
Kid-Friendly Picks And Shareable Moves
Ordering for a kid? A plain kids’ sundae uses about the same base as a small cone. One fruit plus a small drizzle keeps the cup cheerful and balanced. For grown-ups who want a taste without going big, split a concrete.
Ordering Tips For Common Goals
Keep Calories Lower
Pick a cup, stick to the posted small, and pick fruit over candy. Ask for syrup on the side and add a spoon or two yourself. Skip the waffle bowl.
Fewer Added Sugars
Go with vanilla base, fruit, and a nut topping. Skip caramel and fudge. A dusting of cocoa or a pinch of chopped peanuts can give you flavor without a syrup pour.
How This Brand Compares With Regular Ice Cream
Vanilla custard runs close to premium ice cream on calories per scoop. The egg yolks lift protein a bit. Traditional ice cream without yolks often comes in lower per ounce if it has more air. A standard half-cup of vanilla ice cream from a national database sits near the mid-130s for calories and around seven grams of fat. That gives you a sense of the range across frozen desserts.
Allergens, Gluten, And Store Practices
Milk and eggs are baked into the style. Many toppings include wheat, peanuts, soy, or tree nuts. Stores try to reduce cross-contact once told, though they can’t promise zero risk for sensitive guests. See the brand’s posted allergen statement and ask at the window if you need extra care.
Better-For-You Orders That Still Feel Fun
Pick The Right Size
If you want a smaller hit, stick to the 4-ounce base. That lands near 200 calories for vanilla and a touch more for chocolate. Kids’ sundaes use roughly a small cone’s worth of base, so ordering one without heavy sauces keeps the math tight.
Lead With Fruit
Strawberries, bananas, and pineapple bring sweetness with water and fiber. Pair one fruit with a light drizzle and skip candy to keep sugar in check.
Swap The Vessel
Choose a cup if you don’t want the extra from a waffle cone. If you love the crunch, share the cone or split a larger order.
Be Picky With Sauces
Ask for “light” syrup or sauce on the side. A measured spoon can save you a few hundred calories on a large treat.
Three Build Examples With Ranges
| Order | What’s Inside | Estimated kcal |
|---|---|---|
| Fruit-First Sundae | 8.5 oz vanilla base + strawberries + light sauce | ≈ 460–560 |
| Chocolate Lover’s Concrete | 10.5 oz chocolate base + cookie dough + fudge | ≈ 900–1200 |
| Small Shake | 16 oz vanilla base + chocolate syrup | ≈ 880–1050 |
How It Stacks Up Against A Typical Scoop Elsewhere
Many grocery pints whip in more air, so an equal-size scoop can carry fewer calories than dense custard. That’s why a standard half-cup of vanilla ice cream sits near 137 calories on a national nutrient listing, while a same-volume scoop of dense custard may rise higher. Portion and air pull the strings here.
Safety, Allergens, And Cross-Contact
The style uses milk and eggs by design. Peanut, tree nut, soy, wheat, and gluten show up in many mix-ins. Staff clean tools and try to keep lines separate when told, yet shared equipment brings a real chance of cross-contact. If you carry an allergy plan, share it with staff and keep orders simple.
Why Your Cup Might Not Match The Math
Hand-made treats vary on busy nights. One shop may scoop a taller swirl. A second may pack the cup denser. Seasonal items and limited flavors can bring new add-ins. Treat the tables here as a smart start, then adjust once you see the cup.
Quick Math You Can Use At The Window
Start with the base: 50 calories per ounce for vanilla, 52.5 for chocolate. Multiply by the posted size. Add a modest bump for a small sauce, a bigger bump for a heavy pour, and one more bump for candy. If that sounds fussy, pick a size first, then limit to one flavor add-in.
Why We Trust These Numbers
The base numbers and sizes come from the brand; a national database entry for vanilla ice cream provides context for a lighter scoop.
