Toasted pecan frozen custard: Lucky Devils

Midwest émigrés will appreciate this one. Frozen custard used to be hard to find outside the heartland, but it’s catching on in L.A. This one is pecan flavored, making it automatically Thanksgiving-y. And you can get this gooey, thicker-than-ice-cream treat in a dish, if for some reason you’re feeling formal.
