This copycat Wendy’s Frosty delivers a luxuriously creamy, chocolatey frozen treat you can make at home in just a few hours—no ice cream maker required. Silky and smooth, it strikes the perfect balance between shake and soft-serve, making it ideal for dessert cravings or an afternoon pick-me-up.
300 milliliters sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
8 cups 1% chocolate milk
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1️⃣ In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk and Cool Whip until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
2️⃣ Pour in the chocolate milk and vanilla extract, continuing to whisk until fully combined and slightly thickened.
3️⃣ Transfer the Frosty mixture to a freezer-safe container. Seal tightly with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals.
4️⃣ Place the container in the freezer. Every hour for the next three hours, remove it and give the mixture a thorough stir to maintain its creamy texture.
5️⃣ After about three hours—or once it’s reached your desired consistency—spoon the Frosty into glasses or cups and serve immediately.
For a richer flavor, swap half of the 1% chocolate milk for whole chocolate milk or half-and-half.
To speed up chilling, divide the mixture into shallow, wide containers so it freezes more quickly.
If you prefer a firmer texture, freeze for an additional hour, stirring every 30 minutes.
Stir in a handful of mini chocolate chips or crushed cookies before the final freeze for added texture.
Store any leftovers covered in the freezer for up to one week; let soften for 10–15 minutes at room temperature before serving.
