Homemade Copycat Wendy’s Chocolate Frosty

Print Recipe

A creamy, nostalgic chocolate dessert you can make at home with no machine. Spoon it or sip it—just like the Frosty from Wendy’s, only easier.

Ingredients

Scale

4 cups chocolate milk – Use whole chocolate milk for the creamiest, richest Frosty texture.
8 oz frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip) – Adds lightness and that signature soft, airy Frosty feel.
7 oz sweetened condensed milk – Brings sweetness and body without the need for cooking or eggs.
1/4 cup cocoa powder – Deepens the chocolate flavor and balances the sweetness beautifully.

Instructions

Blend it smooth.
Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend until silky and smooth with no lumps. It should look like thick chocolate milk.

Freeze it.
Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or shallow freezer-safe dish.

Stir as it chills.
Freeze uncovered. Every 30 minutes, remove and whisk well to break up ice crystals. This step creates that soft, creamy Frosty texture.

Ready to serve.
After about 3 hours, it will be thick and scoopable. Serve in tall glasses with a straw or enjoy it the classic way with a spoon.

Notes

Serving Ideas:
Serve with salty French fries for the classic combo.
Add a swirl of whipped topping or shaved chocolate for extra flair.

Tips & Tricks:
Whisking frequently prevents hard ice crystals and keeps it soft, just like the real Frosty.
If it freezes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
For a thicker soft-serve style, use 3 cups chocolate milk instead of 4.

Storage & Reheat:
Store in a covered freezer dish for up to 1 week.
If frozen solid, re-blend briefly in the blender to restore a smooth, scoopable texture.
