Strawberry Frosty Pro Tips

  • Soften the Ice Cream: Not too much, or your frosty won’t stay thick. Just enough to make scooping easier, prevent lumps, and make blending easier.
  • Add Fresh Strawberries: Blend in fresh berries for more intense flavor and a little texture.
  • Thicker Consistency: For a thicker frosty, freeze the mixture for a bit before serving.
  • Thinner Consistency: If you prefer more of a milkshake texture, add a little bit of milk to the blender.
