Culver's Crazy for Cookie Dough Flavor of the Day
This custard is high in histamine, driven by the cocoa, chocolate chips, and soy in the mix-ins.
Fast food is cooked in batches and held warm rather than made when you order it, so it is rarely as fresh as something cooked at home. That matters here because histamine builds up as protein foods sit, which means the same item can affect you differently depending on how long it waited.
It is a milk and cream custard base loaded with cookie dough pieces and chocolate chips.
-
Cocoa and chocolate chips — both run high, and that is the main thing setting the level.
-
Soy, molasses, and wheat — the soy is high while the molasses, soybean oil, and wheat flour sit at moderate, so the dough pieces add more histamine.
The fresh milk and cream base is milder, so it is the chocolate and cookie dough mix-ins carrying it.
