The Wendy’s Frosty is an American fast food legend. The signature half-milkshake, half-ice cream dessert has been on the menu there since the restaurant first opened in 1969. The classic chocolate frosty has a light chocolate flavor. It’s not very rich or overwhelming, but it’s perfect for eating with a spoon after your hamburger meal, or dipping into with salty french fries! Be sure to try my other fast food copycat recipes!

Copycat Wendy’s Frosty Ingredients
Add these four things to the blender: Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Chocolate Milk – I get a half-gallon of chocolate milk right from the store, already mixed up! I suggest using whole or 2% for this recipe. Sweetened Condensed Milk – This canned sweet milk is used in many no-churn ice cream recipes. It’s delicious and helps to get the texture of the frosty just right. Whipped Topping – Cool Whip or store brand will work here. I’d avoid the low-fat version. Vanilla Extract – Vanilla brings out the sweetness and the chocolate flavor beautifully.
How To Make a Wendys Frosty
Recipe Tips
If the mixture is too much for your blender, you can blend it in two batches. A stick (immersion) blender can also be useful in this recipe. The longer you freeze the mixture, the harder it will get. Your Wendy’s frosty is ready when it has reached the consistency that you enjoy. I like it kind of slushy, which is what is pictured here. A couple more hours will give your frosty more of a soft ice cream texture. Don’t forget to stir! Stirring the freezing mixture every half hour helps to add air into the mixture, which is key to a soft frosty texture. A frosty goes perfectly with a cheeseburger!

Storing Tips
If you decide not to serve all of the frosty right away when it’s ready, you can keep it in the freezer for up to a couple of months. It will turn solid, but you can scoop it out of the container and let it thaw slightly to enjoy.
