A thick, creamy, chocolatey frozen dessert with a smooth Frosty-style texture.

🥤 Ingredients

Makes 2 servings

• 2 cups whole milk, very cold
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1½ cups ice cubes
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp chocolate syrup, optional

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Chill the ingredients
Make sure the milk and heavy cream are very cold. For an extra-thick Frosty, chill your serving glasses for 10–15 minutes.

Step 2: Add the ingredients
Add the cold milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to a high-speed blender.

Step 3: Blend the chocolate base
Blend for 30–45 seconds, until the cocoa powder and sugar are completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4: Add the ice
Add the 1½ cups ice cubes. Add chocolate syrup now if you want a richer chocolate flavor.

Step 5: Blend until thick
Blend on high for 1–2 minutes. Stop once or twice to scrape the sides if needed. The mixture should become thick, creamy, and spoonable.

Step 6: Adjust the consistency
If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again. If it’s too thick for your blender, add 1–2 tablespoons milk.

Step 7: Taste
Add a little more cocoa or sugar if needed.

Step 8: Serve immediately
Pour into chilled glasses. The Frosty should be thick enough to enjoy with a spoon.

Step 9: Garnish
Top with whipped cream, a light dusting of cocoa powder, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

❄️ Pro Tip

For the best Frosty texture, serve immediately after blending. Letting it sit too long will make it thinner as the ice melts.
