Copycat Wendy's Frosty-ccino
Description
Cold brew blended with a homemade Frosty base for a creamy, sippable coffee drink that tastes like the Wendy's original — no ice cream needed.
Ingredients
Frosty Base:
- 1½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix, dry
- 1 tablespoon malted milk powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
To Blend:
- 1 cup cold brew coffee concentrate, chilled
- Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
- Chocolate or caramel drizzle, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the whole milk and sweetened condensed milk together in a large measuring cup until smooth.
- Add the heavy cream, pudding mix, malted milk powder, vanilla, and salt. Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds, until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Pour into two ice cube trays, leaving a little room at the top. Freeze at least 4 hours or overnight, until fully solid.
- Add 10 to 12 frozen Frosty cubes and the cold brew concentrate to a blender.
- Blend on high for 20 to 30 seconds, scraping down the sides once, until smooth and pourable.
- Adjust as needed: more cold brew to thin, more cubes to thicken.
- Pour into two tall chilled glasses, top with whipped cream and drizzle if using, and serve immediately.
Equipment
- Blender
- Freezer trays
Notes
- Full-fat dairy is important for texture; lower-fat milk freezes icy.
- Cold brew concentrate is strongly preferred over regular brewed coffee.
- Leftover cubes keep in a sealed freezer bag for up to 2 months.
- For a chocolate Frosty-ccino, use instant chocolate pudding mix and add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
