Description

Cool creamy Homemade Wendy’s Frosty beckons chocolate lovers with its nostalgic charm. Rich cocoa and smooth texture blend perfectly, delivering a classic dessert that brings childhood memories straight to your spoon.


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

  1. 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.
  2. Transfer the liquid chocolate blend into a rectangular freezer-safe container, ensuring an even distribution for consistent freezing.
  3. Place the container in the freezer and set a timer for 30-minute intervals.
  4. During each interval, remove the container and vigorously stir with a whisk to disrupt developing ice formations, preventing large crystal development.
  5. Continue the freezing and stirring cycle for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, monitoring the mixture’s consistency.
  6. When the texture transforms into a semi-firm, creamy state similar to soft-serve ice cream, the frosty is ready for serving.
  7. Use an ice cream scoop to transfer the chocolate delicacy into chilled glasses or bowls.
  8. 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.
