Slice of Heaven? Andy’s Frozen Custard Introduces the Limited-Time Key Lime Pie Concrete
We reviewed the new Key Lime Pie Concrete at Andy’s Frozen Custard. Find out how this concrete blends a whole slice of pie into vanilla custard.
Summer flavor profiles are shifting in Central Florida (and nationwide), and local dessert lovers have a brand-new reason to rejoice. Andy’s Frozen Custard introduced its newest limited-time seasonal sensation. This new arrival (and the new Peach Cobbler flavor) officially replaces the departing Blackberry Cobbler and Lemon Bar concretes, bringing a tropical, sunshine-infused twist to the menu.
If you want to grab one yourself, you can head straight to the Orlando location at 3999 Town Center Boulevard. Of course, if you are not in the Orlando area, we hope you have an Andy’s Frozen Custard nearby.
What is Andy’s Frozen Custard and What is a Concrete?
For those who are new to the brand, Andy’s Frozen Custard has been a staple of frozen treats since 1986. Their philosophy is simple: “Fresh Custard, Superior Ingredients, Every Hour, Every Day.”
So, what exactly is a “concrete”? If you have never experienced one, you are missing out on the pinnacle of frozen desserts. A concrete is Andy’s signature treat: an ultra-thick, exceptionally smooth frozen custard blended at high speeds with various premium toppings, fruits, or baked goods. It is mixed so thoroughly and is so dense that it is traditionally served to you completely upside down without a single spill. Since frozen custard is made with egg yolks and served at a slightly warmer temperature than traditional ice cream, it boasts a much richer flavor and a denser, creamier texture that makes it the perfect canvas for premium mix-ins.
The Scoop on the Key Lime Pie Concrete
According to promotional details released by Andy’s Frozen Custard, this fan-favorite seasonal treat is described as “tangy, creamy, and oh-so-dreamy.” While some dessert spots rely on artificial syrups or simple flavorings, Andy’s is taking a delightfully literal approach to this classic Florida dessert. A small costs $7.69 and a large costs $10.69. We ordered a large.
Andy’s Frozen Custard claims that this tasty treat features a whole slice of key lime pie blended directly into their creamy vanilla frozen custard. Yes, you read that correctly…a whole slice of actual pie, complete with the tangy lime filling and buttery graham cracker crust, is mixed right into every single cup.
The Review: Taste and Texture
Combining a legitimate piece of pie with fresh-churned custard is a brilliant move. The immediate standout feature is the texture. As you dig in with your spoon, you don’t just get smooth custard; you get wonderful ribbons of real graham cracker crust and pockets of dense, tart pie filling scattered throughout.
The flavor balance is exceptional at first. Key lime pie can sometimes veer into being overly sharp or aggressively sour, but when it is blended into Andy’s signature premium vanilla frozen custard, the dairy perfectly rounds out the edges. The custard mellows the acidity of the lime, while the lime cuts through the heavy richness of the vanilla. However, during this visit, we found the key lime pie flavor lacking towards the end. Did we get an entire slice of key lime pie? Maybe?
Still, it delivers a contrast of sweet and tart that feels incredibly refreshing in the mid-July Orlando heat. If you were a fan of the outgoing Lemon Bar or Blackberry Cobbler treats, this provides that same nostalgic, fruit-and-pastry comfort but with a distinctly tropical Florida flair.
Key Lime Pie Concrete: Yes, We Will Order This Again!
The Key Lime Pie Concrete is a summer treat you don’t want to miss. It captures the essence of a classic regional dessert while elevating it through Andy’s mastery of frozen custard. Because it is a limited-time offering, it won’t stay on the menu forever. Make sure to swing by the 3999 Town Center Boulevard location this week to grab a spoon and taste the difference for yourself!
