What you'll need:

• 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
• 8-ounce tub of whipped topping, thawed
• ½ gallon of whole milk 
• ¾ cup of Hershey’s strawberry syrup
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

⭐ Strawberry milk: Use your favorite premade strawberry milk brand—just skip the extra syrup. For a bright pink color and stronger flavor, add a little strawberry syrup or even a drop of red food coloring.

⭐ Milk: 2% milk works great for this strawberry shake recipe if that's what you have on hand.

⭐ Syrup: Any store-bought brand of strawberry syrup will do the trick for creating a sweet, fruity milk base in this frosty.

The Wendy strawberry frosty not only tastes amazing but can also be whipped up right in your own kitchen. This frozen treat blends sweet strawberries with creamy richness, making a dreamy dessert that satisfies every sweet tooth.

It's so easy to make a homemade Frosty, we bet you'll never go to Wendy's again. You can make a batch and store it in your freezer to grab anytime. Here's how simple it is!

FIRST STEP: In an 8 to 10-cup capacity large mixing bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and thawed whipped topping.

SECOND STEP: In a separate large mixing bowl, stir together the milk, Hershey’s strawberry syrup, and vanilla extract.

THIRD STEP: Pour the strawberry milk mixture into the whipped topping mixture. Stir well to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined.

FOURTH STEP: Transfer the strawberry Frosty mixture into a large freezer-safe container and cover it with a lid or plastic wrap. 

FIFTH STEP: Place the container into the freezer for a minimum of 3 to 6 hours, or up to overnight. You will need a longer freeze time if you have all of your mixture in one large container. The smaller containers will freeze faster.

SIXTH STEP: Stir your strawberry Frosty mixture every 1 to 2 hours to break up any larger icy chunks until you get your desired consistency. 

SEVENTH STEP: Spoon the strawberry Frosty mixture into a glass and enjoy.

🍓 Cool & Sweet: There’s no better way to beat the heat than with homemade Wendy’s frosties! Serve them as an afternoon snack with a batch of fluffernutter cookies or some chewy Rice Krispie treats for a sweet combo everyone will love.

🍔 Classic Combo: Enjoy your strawberry frosty solo, or go all out and pair it with a juicy burger and crispy fries for a classic diner-style meal.

☀️ You get the same frosty fun as Wendy’s, but save money by making it right at home!

🍦 Can I make this strawberry frosty in vanilla flavor?
Yes! Just leave out the strawberry syrup and you’ll have a smooth, creamy vanilla frosty instead. You can also make a dreamy chocolate frosty! Here's the recipe!

⭐ What makes this taste just like a Wendy’s frosty?
A splash of vanilla extract is the secret ingredient that gives the mixture that classic malt-like flavor.

🍓 Can I adjust the sweetness of this recipe?
Absolutely! Add more or less strawberry syrup depending on how sweet you like your frosty.

🥤 Do I need special equipment to make a frosty at home?
Nope! A large mixing bowl is all you need to create the creamy, thick texture you want.

Skip the Fridge: That's because a strawberry frosty will melt into a drink instead of staying creamy.

In the freezer: Keep your copycat strawberry frosty in the freezer for up to two months. Let it sit at room temperature for about fifteen minutes. You'll need to stir before each time you serve it.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 8 ounces whipped topping (thawed)
• ½ gallon whole milk
• ¾ cup Hershey’s strawberry syrup
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

 

• In an 8 to 10-cup capacity large mixing bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and thawed whipped topping.
• In a separate large mixing bowl, stir together the milk, Hershey’s strawberry syrup, and vanilla extract.
• Pour the strawberry milk mixture into the whipped topping mixture. Stir well to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined.
• Transfer the strawberry Frosty mixture into a large freezer-safe container and cover it with a lid or plastic wrap.
• Place the container into the freezer for a minimum of 3 to 6 hours or up to overnight. You will need a longer freeze time if you have all of your mixture in one large container. The smaller containers will freeze faster.
• Stir your strawberry Frosty mixture every 1 to 2 hours to break up any larger icy chunks until you get your desired consistency.
• Spoon the strawberry Frosty mixture into a glass and enjoy.

Notes

• A large glass measuring bowl with a pour spout works great for this recipe!
• If you don’t have a freezer-safe container large enough to hold all the Frosty mixture, divide it into 2 or 3 smaller batches to put in the freezer. Make sure you don’t fill the container to the very top, the mixture will expand a bit as it freezes. If you freeze the Frosty mixture in smaller batches, the freeze time will be slightly shorter.
• You can allow your strawberry Frosty mixture to freeze overnight without stirring every couple of hours. It will NOT freeze solid. You will just need to allow it to rest on the counter to thaw slightly so that you can stir it up well and break up the larger ice crystals. Just keep stirring until you get a smoother consistency.
