Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups (946 milliliters) chocolate milk
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) cocoa powder
Dairy Components:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) frozen whipped topping
- 7 ounces (198 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and a blender for a seamless preparation of the homemade Wendy’s Frosty.
- Combine chocolate milk, frozen whipped topping, sweetened condensed milk, and cocoa powder in the blender, processing until the mixture transforms into a velvety, uniform liquid with no visible lumps.
- Transfer the silky chocolate blend into a loaf pan, ensuring an even distribution for consistent freezing.
- Place the pan in the freezer at 0°F, allowing the mixture to begin its initial solidification phase.
- After 30 minutes, retrieve the pan and vigorously whisk the developing frosty to disrupt emerging ice crystals, maintaining a smooth texture.
- Repeat the whisking process every half hour for approximately 3 hours, monitoring the consistency and preventing large ice formations.
- When the mixture reaches a thick, creamy state resembling soft-serve ice cream, it’s ready to be scooped into serving glasses.
- Serve immediately for the most authentic Wendy’s Frosty experience, enjoying the rich chocolate flavor and luxurious, semi-frozen texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat chocolate milk for a richer, creamier texture that mimics the original Wendy’s Frosty experience.
- Experiment with different cocoa powder brands to find the deepest chocolate flavor that matches your preference.
- Whisking frequently prevents large ice crystals from forming, ensuring a smooth, soft-serve like consistency.
- For a lighter version, substitute low-fat milk and sugar-free whipped topping to reduce calories without compromising taste.
