Frozen custard is used to delight taste buds, unlike boiling custard, which is used to stop invaders from scaling gingerbread castles. Harness the benefits of this powerful treat with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 of frozen custard and treats at Sheridan's Lattes & Frozen Custard.

Sheridan's Lattes & Frozen Custard's culinary craftspeople use an assortment of rare Carvel custard machinery and local, premium ingredients to stock a delicious menu with frozen desserts and liquid treats. Create-your-own sundaes let ambrosia architects drape a scoop of vanilla or chocolate custard in toppings such as fruit, cookie dough, or chocolate chips and deliver it to mouths in a cake or waffle-coned vessel. Topping-packed concrete custards come in a variety of frozen flavors, such as mocha almond ($4.23 for 12 oz.) and dirt and worms ($3.98 for 12 oz.), and make a savory mortar for log cabins constructed out of tootsie rolls. Fruity favorites, such as 24-ounce strawberry-banana smoothies ($3.87), utilize fresh fruit to keep palates pleased, and provide sippers with a healthier alternative to ice cream or plates of butter. Energy-riddled pours of organic, fair-trade coffees in the caramel macchiato ($3.50 for 16 oz.), deliver an earth-friendly buzz, and decaffeinated options provide a body-warming calm.
