The Merry Dairy serves homemade frozen custard.

Invented in Coney Island New York in the 1920s, the popularity of Frozen Custard spread quickly throughout the US Midwest where its dense, creamy flavour made it a new ice cream favourite.

​Today frozen custard is available throughout the US, but almost unknown in Canada.

The Merry Dairy is bringing this delicious ice cream to Ottawa. Made fresh daily, hand scooped and sold from a truck, its uniqueness comes both from the quality of ingredients (cream, sugar and pasteurized egg yolk) and the machine that makes it.

 Tracked the truck down to Preston Street today to finally try some Ottawa custard. Tried the chocolate and vanilla together in a cup. Tasty but not nearly as good as Rita's Ice now that is some great custard. Pricey for a small cup at $3.50. Oh Rita still thinking of you:( now that would be worth traveling for.

 We tracked the Merry Dairy truck to 15 Irving Ave. (Hintonburg) The frozen custard was really good, but it is just ice cream. I wouldn't say it is worth driving across town for it, but if you are going to be in the downtown core and know you want a treat, it is very well made ice cream.

The truck is really cute and played music in a traditional tinny kind of way - but not traditional tunes (stairway to heaven was one classic that was played).

The kids ice cream cone is a generous size. The special was $2 for kids and they rolled it in sprinkles. The adults is bigger and $3. The toppings available are sprinkles (rainbow or chocolate), chocolate, strawberry or caramel sauce. The toppings are 50cents.

It was a nice treat and because they are usually close by, I would go there again.
