BLOGGER KAREN CINPINSKI FINDS MILWAUKEE'S FINEST FROZEN CUSTARD.

1. GILLES FROZEN CUSTARD
"Flavors like caramel cashew draw people to this retro shop. It also has treats like 'Those Things,' vanilla custard loaded on top of a peanut cookie and dipped in chocolate." www.gillesfrozen.custard.com

2. KITT'S FROZEN CUSTARD DRIVE-IN
"This drive-in, popular since it opened in 1950, has a nostalgic ambience. It serves sweeter-than-usual custard that pairs seamlessly with the burgers on the menu." 414-461-1400

3. KOPP'S FROZEN CUSTARD
"Satisfy your custard craving with typical vanilla and chocolate or more obscure flavors like Pretzels and Beer. If you can't decide between the two flavors of the day, try both." www.kopps.com

4. LEON'S FROZEN CUSTARD DRIVE-IN
"As one of the inspirations behind Arnold's from 'Happy Days,' this is the Milwaukee custard stand. For more than 50 years, it's served firm yet creamy mixtures." 414-383-1784

5. ROBERT'S FROZEN CUSTARD
"There's usually a considerable wait but, with fresh custard like Rocky Road and Raspberry Custard Torte, it's worth it. It's also one of the only places to serve low fat and no sugar options." 414-444-4230
