Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 2 cups (480 ml) chocolate milk whole or 2% recommended
▢ 1 can (396 g) sweetened condensed milk 14 oz (396g)
▢ 1 container (225 g) Cool Whip 8 oz (thawed)

Optional Add-Ins

▢ a pinch of salt optional
▢ espresso shot optional, for mocha flavor

Equipment

▢
Blender
▢
Freezer-safe container
▢
Spatula

Instructions

Blend everything together: Combine chocolate milk, sweetened condensed milk, and Cool Whip in a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Pour and freeze: Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, preferably a metal loaf pan for optimal chilling. Cover and place in the freezer.
Stir every 30 minutes: For the next 2 hours, stir the mixture thoroughly every 30 minutes. This keeps the Frosty from freezing solid and ensures that soft-serve, spoonable texture.
Scoop or sip: After about 2 hours, when the Frosty is set but still soft and spoonable, serve immediately. Use a spoon, or a straw if you like it sippable!

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Allow to soften a few minutes on the counter before scooping. Avoid storing in the fridge, as the consistency will become liquid. Stir, or briefly blend again after freezing to restore the texture if needed.

Variations: Use dark chocolate milk for a richer taste, swirl in caramel, add a splash of cold espresso, swap Cool Whip for homemade whipped cream, or stir in crushed cookies or candy before freezing.
