Wendy's Vanilla Frosty Recipe

This Wendy's Frosty copycat is spot on—it has that smooth, creamy texture with just the right thickness!
A mix of vanilla ice cream, whipped topping, and sweetened condensed milk gives it the light, fluffy feel.
The trick is blending everything just until combined—going too long makes it too thin.
Whole milk keeps it rich without turning icy, so don’t swap it for anything lower in fat.
Dipping hot, salty fries into this is the only way to eat it, in my opinion (of course!).
