How to Make Wendy’s Frosty Copycat Recipe

Ingredients

½ Gallon Chocolate Milk
1 (14 oz) Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 (8 oz) Tub Cool Whip

In a large bowl, add cool whip, condensed milk & chocolate milk

Mix with a handheld mixer or whisk to combine well.
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.

Freeze for a few hours until the mixture is turning to a thick slushy consistency.

Tips & Tricks

Whisk well! Make sure everything is fully combined before freezing for the smoothest texture.
Stir occasionally. If you want a softer consistency, stir the mixture every hour as it freezes.
Use a shallow dish. This helps the mixture freeze faster and more evenly.
Want it extra thick? Let it freeze a little longer, then blend before serving.

FAQs

It usually takes 3-4 hours to reach the perfect slushy consistency. If it freezes solid, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

Yes! Just whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar until stiff peaks form and use it in place of Cool Whip.

Store any leftovers in a freezer-safe container. If it becomes too firm, let it sit for a few minutes or blend it up to restore the creamy texture.
