super simple and creamy Chocolate Frosty recipe — just like the classic Wendy’s-style frosty, made at home in minutes with only a few ingredients!
Homemade Chocolate Frosty Recipe
Ingredients (Makes 2 large servings):
-
2 cups vanilla ice cream (softened slightly)
-
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/2 cup milk (whole milk or 2% for creaminess)
-
1 tablespoon powdered sugar (or adjust to taste)
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
1. Blend It:
-
Add all ingredients to a blender: ice cream, cocoa powder, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
-
Blend until smooth and creamy, but still thick — like a soft milkshake or frozen dessert.
2. Adjust Texture:
-
If it’s too thin, add more ice cream.
-
If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again.
3. Serve Immediately:
-
Pour into glasses or cups and enjoy with a spoon or wide straw.
Optional Add-Ins:
-
Add a scoop of chocolate protein powder for a frosty with benefits.
-
Blend in a spoonful of peanut butter or Nutella.
-
Top with whipped cream, chocolate chips, or a cherry for extra fun.
Tips:
-
Use frozen chocolate milk cubes instead of regular milk for ultra chocolatey flavor.
-
For a lower-sugar or keto version: use sugar-free ice cream and almond milk.
