Carvel is ice cream. By U.S. standards, ice cream contains at least 10% milk fat. Frozen custard contains milk fat plus eggs. In some parts of the country, especially parts of the east, any soft serve is called frozen custard.
Gelato, interestingly, usually is only 7-8% milk fat.
Whether or not you like a particular brand of ice cream is a personal preference, not necessarily an indicator of it's content or method of preparation.
