Wendy’s Frosty Recipe
Introduction
Enjoy the creamy, chocolatey delight of a homemade Wendy’s Frosty with just a few simple ingredients. This recipe captures the iconic frosty texture and flavor perfect for any sweet craving at home.
Ingredients
- 1 quart full fat chocolate milk
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate milk and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
- Step 2: Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker bowl. Start the ice cream maker before pouring to prevent the liquid from sticking to the sides.
- Step 3: Freeze according to your ice cream maker’s directions until the mixture reaches a thick, creamy consistency similar to a Frosty, about 25 minutes.
- Step 4: Serve immediately for the best texture and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- For a thicker Frosty, freeze the mixture for a few minutes longer, checking frequently to avoid over-freezing.
- Use low-fat chocolate milk for a lighter version, though the texture will be less creamy.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract for a subtle flavor boost.
Storage
Store leftover Frosty in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. When ready to serve, thaw slightly at room temperature for a few minutes and stir to regain a creamy texture before enjoying.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make this Frosty without an ice cream maker?
While the recipe is best with an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until creamy, though the texture may be less smooth.
Can I use regular milk instead of full fat chocolate milk?
Using regular or low-fat milk will result in a thinner, less creamy Frosty. For best results, use full fat chocolate milk to achieve the classic rich texture.

Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate milk and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined and smooth.
- Prepare Ice Cream Maker: Turn on your ice cream maker before pouring in the mixture to prevent the liquid from sticking to the sides.

Notes
- Using full fat chocolate milk ensures a rich, creamy consistency similar to the original Frosty.
- Pre-chilling your ice cream maker bowl for several hours prior to use will improve freezing time and texture.
- For a thicker Frosty, you can freeze the mixture for an additional 10-15 minutes after churning.
- Substitute sweetened condensed milk with homemade version or evaporated milk with sugar if needed, but will slightly change flavor and texture.
- Serve immediately for the best creamy texture; leftovers can be stored in the freezer but may become firmer and require brief thawing before serving.
