Its texture is described as being somewhere between a milkshake and soft-serve ice cream. Here is how you can make both versions at home:

Chocolate Frosty (Serves 4)

Ingredients:

4 cups chocolate milk

14 oz sweetened condensed milk

8 oz Cool Whip (whipped topping)

2 tablespoons cocoa powder or Nesquik powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Frosty Recipe

Instructions:

Add the chocolate milk, Nesquik/cocoa powder, sweetened condensed milk, whipped topping, and vanilla to a blender. Blend until everything is thoroughly combined.

Pour the mixture into a 9×13 baking dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, scrape and stir the Frosty to break up any ice crystals. Pay extra attention to the edges—they freeze first.

Continue this process until it has frozen to your desired consistency. For a firmer Frosty, this takes approximately 6 hours.

                                                

Vanilla Frosty (Serves 4)

Ingredients:

4 cups whole milk

14 oz sweetened condensed milk

8 oz Cool Whip

1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Vanilla Frosty Recipe

Instructions:

Simply follow the steps outlined above—substitute the chocolate milk with plain milk, use 1½ teaspoons of vanilla extract, and omit the cocoa powder. Freeze and scrape the mixture every 30 minutes until you achieve your desired texture. Tips and Variations

Whipped toppings like Cool Whip contain stabilizers that help them retain their fluffy texture—which is exactly what you need for a Frosty. Real dairy whipped cream tends to melt and turn liquid over time, and it does not freeze as effectively.

For a thicker Frosty, freeze it for about an hour longer. You can also slightly reduce the amount of milk—using 3 cups instead of 4—to achieve a consistency similar to soft-serve ice cream.

For a creamier Frosty, add a splash of heavy cream to enhance the flavor, or mix in a tablespoon of vanilla pudding mix to give it an even richer and thicker texture.

If it freezes solid, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to make it easily scoopable. You can store your homemade Frosty in the freezer for approximately 2–3 months. If it becomes frozen too hard, let it sit out for about 15–20 minutes before stirring and serving.
