Why This Recipe Works

This copycat recipe perfectly captures the signature texture of Wendy’s Frosty—thicker than a milkshake but softer than ice cream.

By using a blender to incorporate just the right amount of air, you’ll achieve that authentic Frosty consistency that’s thick enough for a spoon but still sippable through a straw.
