Gather Your Ingredients

Before we start, let’s make sure we have everything we need. This recipe is delightfully simple, requiring only three ingredients:

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Mixing the Ingredients

Start by pouring the sweetened condensed milk into a large mixing bowl.

Add in the whole milk and stir until the two are thoroughly combined.

Next, gradually sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder, stirring continuously to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth mixture.

Step 2: Preparing for Freezing

Once your mixture is ready, pour it into the Ninja Creamie pint container.

Secure the lid tightly, and place it in the freezer for a minimum of 24 hours. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect Frosty texture.

Step 3: Ready the Ninja Creamie

After freezing, remove the pint container from the freezer and get your Ninja Creamie ready.

Insert the frozen pint into the machine, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Select the “Ice Cream” function to churn your mixture into a creamy, smooth Frosty.

Step 4: Enjoy Your Homemade Frosty

Once the churning process is complete, your homemade Wendy’s Frosty is ready to be enjoyed!

Scoop it into cups and grab a spoon or a straw—it’s time to savor this delightful treat with your family.

Tips for Perfecting Your Frosty

  • Consistency Matters: If you prefer a thicker Frosty, let it sit for a few minutes after churning. This will make it more spoonable and closer to the real thing.
  • Sweetness Level: Adjust the sweetness by adding a tablespoon of sugar if needed, but try the original recipe first for the authentic taste.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Let it thaw slightly before serving again to achieve the best texture.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Whisk the condensed milk and whole milk in a bowl. Sift in the cocoa and whisk until smooth.

Divide the base among enough containers compatible with your Ninja CREAMi model, leaving each below its MAX FILL line; this batch does not fit one standard 16-ounce pint.
  3. Cover and freeze level for at least 24 hours, following the freezing instructions for your model.
  4. Process each container separately using the Ice Cream program. Follow the machine instructions for re-spinning if needed, then serve.

Notes

◻️ Adjust sweetness by adding a tablespoon of sugar if desired.

◻️ For a thicker consistency, let the Frosty sit for a few minutes after churning.

◻️ Store leftovers in an airtight container. Thaw slightly before serving again.
