Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup milk (whole milk recommended for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons Nesquik powder (or any chocolate milk powder)
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (softened slightly for easy blending)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients:
In a blender, combine the milk, Nesquik powder, and softened vanilla ice cream. Blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy. The mixture should resemble a thick milkshake. Pro Tip: If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk. If too thin, add more ice cream. - Freeze the Mixture:
Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 2–3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to maintain the Frosty’s creamy texture and prevent ice crystals from forming. Visual Cue: The texture should be soft and spoonable, not fully solid. - Serve & Enjoy:
Scoop or pour the Frosty into glasses or bowls. Serve with a straw and spoon for that authentic experience!
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Pair with salty French fries for the ultimate sweet-and-salty combo.

Tips & Tricks:
- Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for the best flavor.
- Stirring during freezing ensures the signature smooth texture—don’t skip this step!
Storage & Reheating:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving to restore creaminess. If frozen solid, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before enjoying.
