No problem! The instructions for how to make a Wendy&#8217;s Frosty recipe without an ice cream maker are simple. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze it for up to three hours, stirring every 30 minutes or until it reaches the desired consistency.<\/p>\n<h2>Copycat Wendy&#8217;s Frosty Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Healthier Frosty:<\/strong> To make a healthier Frosty, simply swap in no- or low-fat versions of the ingredients. You can even use dairy alternatives, although the flavor may not be exactly the same as the original version.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strawberry Frosty:<\/strong> To make a strawberry Frosty at home, skip the cocoa powder and replace the chocolate milk with strawberry milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla Frosty:<\/strong> For a vanilla Frosty, use regular 2% or whole milk instead of chocolate milk, skip the cocoa powder and use 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frosty float:<\/strong> For a carbonated spin on the classic Frosty treat, serve it with root beer or cola.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Copycat Wendy&#8217;s Frosty<\/h2>\n<p>You can store unfrozen Frosty mix in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Depending on your ice cream maker, you may want to transfer the mixture to the freezer for a few minutes to let it set a little bit more. If you have frozen the mix in the freezer, let it sit on the counter for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make a Frosty like Wendy&#8217;s recipe with ice cream?<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re going for an authentic Frosty flavor, the simple answer is no. Adding ice cream will result in a more standard milkshake flavor, and you will lose the true essence of a Frosty.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with a copycat Wendy&#8217;s Frosty?<\/h3>\n<p>A copycat recipe for a Wendy&#8217;s Frosty is a perfect accompaniment to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/secret-recipes-for-classic-diner-foods\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/secret-recipes-for-classic-diner-foods\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">diner-inspired<\/a> dinner featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-burger-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-burger-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hamburgers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/crispy-fried-onion-rings\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/crispy-fried-onion-rings\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">onion rings<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/french-fries\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/french-fries\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">french fries<\/a>.
