Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups chocolate milk
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Dairy Components:
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Combine chocolate milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and cocoa powder in a blender, processing until the mixture reaches a silky, uniform texture with no visible powder clumps.
- Transfer the liquid chocolate blend into a rectangular freezer-safe container, ensuring an even distribution for consistent freezing.
- Place the container in the freezer and set a timer for 30-minute intervals.
- During each interval, remove the container and vigorously stir with a whisk to disrupt developing ice formations, preventing large crystal development.
- Continue the freezing and stirring cycle for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, monitoring the mixture’s consistency.
- When the texture transforms into a semi-firm, creamy state similar to soft-serve ice cream, the frosty is ready for serving.
- Use an ice cream scoop to transfer the chocolate delicacy into chilled glasses or bowls.
- For optimal enjoyment, serve immediately while the frosty maintains its signature half-frozen, half-liquid consistency.
Notes
- Chill your blender and loaf pan beforehand to keep the mixture extra cold and help it freeze faster.
- For a lower-sugar version, swap regular condensed milk with a sugar-free alternative or use unsweetened almond milk.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a rich, deep chocolate flavor that mimics the authentic Wendy’s Frosty taste.
- If you prefer a softer texture, let the frosty sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to make scooping easier.
