Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 ounces/397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) chocolate milk
Flavor and Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Seasoning:
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Combine chocolate milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt in a spacious mixing vessel, whisking thoroughly until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Incorporate sweetened condensed milk, stirring continuously to ensure complete integration of ingredients.
- Utilize a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip heavy cream until soft, billowy peaks emerge, creating a light and airy consistency.
- Delicately incorporate whipped cream into chocolate mixture, folding gently to maintain volume and create a smooth, homogeneous blend.
- Transfer the velvety mixture into a freezer-safe container, ensuring even distribution.
- Freeze for approximately 4 hours at 0°F, interrupting the freezing process every 30-45 minutes to vigorously stir and break up ice crystals, which prevents hard formation and maintains a creamy texture.
- Once the dessert reaches a thick, spoonable consistency with a signature frosty-like smoothness, remove from freezer and serve immediately for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Prevent ice crystals by stirring the mixture every 30-60 minutes during freezing, ensuring a smooth, creamy texture similar to the original Frosty.
- For a lighter version, substitute whole milk for chocolate milk and use low-fat sweetened condensed milk to reduce overall calories.
- Create dairy-free alternative by replacing heavy cream with coconut cream and using dairy-free chocolate milk for a vegan-friendly dessert.
- Enhance flavor intensity by adding a pinch of espresso powder or using dark cocoa powder for a richer chocolate experience.
