Ice cube trays
Blender
measuring cups
spoons
- - 5 cups chocolate milk
- - 1/2-1 cup heavy cream you can adjust based on desired creaminess
- - 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk or to taste
- - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- - 1 tablespoon cocoa powder optional for extra chocolate flavor
- - 1/2 cup crushed ice for added texture
Step 1: Freeze the Chocolate Milk
Step 2: Blend the Frosty Mixture
Once your chocolate milk cubes are firm, take about half of them out of the freezer and toss them into your blender. Next, add the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. If you're opting for that extra chocolate touch, sprinkle in the cocoa powder as well. Blend everything together until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. If it's too thick for your liking, don’t hesitate to add more heavy cream until it reaches your preferred texture. For those who like it sweet, feel free to take a quick taste and adjust with a bit more sweetened condensed milk if needed.
- Customize Your Oversight: Feel free to swap in non-dairy milk or alternatives like almond or coconut milk for a different flavor profile.
- Texture Tweaks: For a thicker frosty, increase the number of frozen chocolate milk cubes. For a lighter version, add in more cream or even some milk.
- Flavor Boost: Add a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavors more distinctly.
- Mix It Up: Consider adding a touch of coffee for a mocha twist!
- Kid-Friendly Option: Get the kids involved in making their own custom frosty by letting them pick fun toppings like whipped cream or chocolate chips.
