A classic treat, this Wendy’s Frosty Recipe is creamy, flavorful and the perfect copycat of version of your favorite restaurant drink! Super easy you’ll be making this all spring and summer long.
I love copycat recipes, when I don’t have to go out and drive and spend extra money on things and make them at home I’m in heaven.
This Wendy’s Frosty Recipe is one of them. It has always been one of my go-to favorites that I would get every single time that I would go to Wendy’s.
There is something nostalgic about this Frosty Recipe that I think that everyone loves, it’s such a classic and now you can easily make it at home with minimal ingredients.
While it still needs to set up for a while, you will have a nice large batch that you can make a glass of whenever you’d like. It is my favorite at-home version that I have ever tried.
We have been making it this way for a long time and we don’t plan on changing it anytime soon! The perfect thirst quencher and kid-friendly recipe, the whole family will enjoy it.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:
- This uses only 5 ingredients that are easy to find at your local grocer!
- This makes a large batch that you can halve if you wish!
- Super kid-friendly, this is the perfect recipe for kids and adults alike!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED (FULL RECIPE BELOW):
Chocolate milk
Nesquik powder
Sweetened condensed milk
Whipped topping
Vanilla extract
HOW TO MAKE A WENDY’S FROSTY RECIPE:
- Place half of the chocolate milk, half of the nesquik powder, half of the sweetened condensed milk, half of the whipped topping, and half of the vanilla in a blender.
- Blend until well mixed and combined.
- Pour into a 9×13 baking dish. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and pour into the dish along with the rest.
- Place into the freezer.
- Every 30 minutes, scrape and mix the frosty breaking up the ice crystals. Focus on the outer edges, they freeze first. Keep doing this until it is frozen to your liking. I like it more solid so it takes about 6 hours. If you like it more slushy, it should be ready in around 4 hours.
WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THE METHOD TWICE?
You have to blend this in two batches because the amount of ingredients will not fit in a standard blender.
If you don’t have a blender, you can use a food processor or an immersion blender.
HOW LONG DOES THIS NEED TO SET UP?
I like it more solid so it takes about 6 hours. If you like it more slushy, it should be ready in around 4 hours.
CAN I MAKE MY OWN HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM?
Yes! If you don’t want to use whipped topping, freshly whipped cream will work as well. ½ cup heavy whipping cream plus 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, whip to stiff peaks.
Instead of adding the whipped cream to the blender, blend the chocolate milk, nesquik, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla together. Then, in a large bowl, fold in the fresh whipped cream.
HOW TO STORE:
It does freeze nicely but since it is more of an icy consistency, it will start to melt faster than ice cream. If left in the freezer overnight, it will freeze almost solid, but it is still relatively easy to scoop some out and enjoy it.
This will keep frozen covered in the freezer for up to 3 months.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- This recipe can be halved, doubled, or tripled!
- Make sure you are scraping the mixture every 30 minutes to break up the ice crystals.
- This needs to freeze anywhere from 4-6 hours depending on what consistency you like.
- A personal preference but French fries are amazing dipped in this!
- This is made in batches because a standard blender does not fit the whole amount, see above for more info.
- This will keep frozen covered in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Make your own whipped topping, see above on how to do that.
