Ingredients
-
The Sweetener: 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
-
The Texture: 8 oz tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
-
The Flavor: ½ gallon chocolate milk (use whole chocolate milk for maximum creaminess)
Instructions
-
Base Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and the thawed whipped topping. Whisk or stir until the mixture is completely smooth and no white lumps remain.
-
Add Milk: Gradually pour in the half-gallon of chocolate milk. Stir well until the mixture is uniform in color and consistency.
-
Transfer: Pour the liquid into a freezer-safe container (a large 9×13 pan or a plastic tub works best for even freezing).
-
The “Slush” Step: Place the container in the freezer. Crucial: Every hour, take the container out and give it a vigorous stir with a whisk or fork. This breaks up ice crystals and incorporates air, creating that signature Frosty texture.
-
Serve: Once it reaches a thick, soft-serve-like slush consistency (usually after 4–6 hours), scoop it into glasses and enjoy immediately.
Notes
-
Ice Cream Maker Shortcut: If you have an ice cream maker, you can skip the hourly stirring! Just pour the mixture in and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions for soft-serve.
-
Pro Tip: For an even richer chocolate flavor, whisk in 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder or a drizzle of chocolate syrup during the first step.
-
Adult Version: Add a splash of Irish cream or coffee liqueur to the mix for a boozy frozen treat.
