  •   2 cups vanilla ice cream (softened slightly)

Instructions

1. Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, milk, chocolate milk powder, condensed milk (if using), and a pinch of salt.
2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until creamy and well-mixed. The texture should be thick but pourable — like a soft milkshake.

4. Serve Immediately: Pour into a glass or cup and serve with a spoon or straw. Enjoy!

Frosty-Making Tips

• Use whole milk for the richest, creamiest flavor.
• Condensed milk adds that signature sweetness and texture.
• Want it thicker? Freeze the Frosty in a covered container and stir every 10 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
• Turn it into a Frosty float by pouring over cola or root beer!
• Pair it with homemade Wendy’s fries or nuggets for the ultimate fast-food night in.
