What a Chessters is

Three things, and nothing else.

  1. 01

    The Cookie

    Two of them. Soft, chewy, bakery-style, packed with tiny chocolate chips. Never a wafer.

  2. 02

    The Custard

    Real, dense vanilla frozen custard. Slower to melt, heavier in the hand, and the reason this is not a generic sandwich.

  3. 03

    The Chips

    Real mini chocolate chips, visible on the cookie face. They are a hero, not a garnish.

Keep frozen. Real frozen custard. Born in Vermont. Two soft cookies. RBST free. 16% butterfat. One at a time or four to a box.

The rule we break most

Frozen custard, said correctly.

Frozen custard contains egg yolk and is churned with less air. It is a legal distinction, a texture distinction, and the entire reason someone drives out of their way for one.

So we write it the way it is. On shelf tags, on the product page, in the freezer aisle. Frozen custard cookie sandwich. Not an ice cream sandwich. The longer answer lives in the FAQ.

    Butterfat base

    What makes frozen custard frozen custard, legally and on the tongue.

  • Real eggs

    Egg yolk, always

    Custard contains egg yolk. It is a legal distinction, a texture distinction, and the entire reason someone drives out of their way for one.

  • Slowly churned

    Less air, more density

    It is heavier in the hand for a reason. No shortcuts, no fluff.

Watch

Thirty seconds of custard.

The sandwich, the cross-section, and the reason it melts slower than the stuff next to it in the case.

The story

A Vermont novelty people never stopped asking for.

Chessters is the treat New Englanders remember far longer than it was on shelf. Vanilla frozen custard between two soft chocolate chip cookies, sold one at a time out of a freezer case.

Now it is back, available in select retailers across the Northeast, with expansion planned throughout the US.
