Copy Cat Wendy's Frosty - Take 2

I like my copy cat Wendy's Frosty recipe, but I'm never opposed to trying another!!

I found this recipe on Pinterest, and it was super easy, and pretty close to the real thing...  I almost didn't try it because it had Cool Whip in it, but I checked the food snob at the kitchen door that day.  :)  But, I may try this recipe using whipping cream next time.  To quote my mom, "Why use something that has so many ingredients, when cream is just one ingredient?" Ha!  Though, the Cool Whip may be key in this recipe because I think it helps make the little granule things that Wendy's frostys have...

Remember, your chocolate milk is the star of this show, so make sure you are using a kind that you know tastes good!

Copy Cat Wendy's Frosty Recipe - Take 2
Recipe from HERE

1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 8 oz. tub Cool Whip
1/2 gallon chocolate milk

Mix ingredients together and put in your ice cream maker for about 30 minutes.

*This makes more than you can put in one of the smaller standard electric ice cream makers.  Even though we have two of them, I didn't have the container frozen for the other one.  So, I just kept the liquid in a bowl covered in the fridge and made some the next day too!  

Coconut Nog Ice Cream

This is the same concept as the Mint Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream I posted a few weeks ago.  (Though the chocolate has less sugar!)  So simple, a little bit healthier than regular ice cream, and so super easy your three year old could do it!  (Like mine...)

Just pour your Coconut Milk into your ice cream maker and turn it on!  In about thirty minutes you have some ice cream!!!  If you turn it off sooner you have a shake - you choose!  If you want a firmer ice cream you stick it in the freezer for a bit until it's to your desired firmness.

Coconut Milk Mint Chocolate Ice Cream

Here is a healthier alternative to chocolate ice cream!

Remember how I love making my own egg nog ice cream from already prepared egg nogg?  You can just do the same with Coconut Milk!

Just pour your Mint Chocolate Coconut Milk into your ice cream maker and turn it on!  In about thirty minutes you have some ice cream!!!  If you turn it off sooner you have a shake - you choose!

This is not creamy like ice cream it is more of an ice-y consistency like a soft serve or something.

I don't buy chocolate milk for my kids, but I was so impressed with this So Delicious Coconut Milk, and the sugar content was only 6 grams that I would totally buy this for my kids to drink!!  (Not to replace their milk, but for sometimes!)  It has the same amount of sugar as regular milk, but cows milk has more protein.

You could definitely consider this ice cream a "healthy (ier) treat!"

The container says this is a limited edition, but I hear the regular chocolate coconut milk is super yummy too!

Enjoy!
