When it comes to the ingredients, so far Wendy's website lists milk, sugar, corn syrup, cream, whey, nonfat dry milk, cocoa (processed with alkali), guar gum, mono and diglycerides, cellulose gum, natural vanilla flavor, carrageenan, calcium sulfate, sodium citrate, dextrose, and vitamin A palmitate. 

But, the "natural vanilla flavor" is the key to this ingredients list. The addition of vanilla to the chocolate Frosty results in the alteration of the flavor to be more of a malt-like taste.

Now, let’s learn Wendy’s Frosty recipe! The Frosty's original light chocolate flavor was initially the only flavor offered, so let’s begin from this legacy, first of all.

Prepare the following ingredients, then proceed to the instructions given. No worries—it’s all easy!

Ingredients:

• 4 cups vanilla ice cream (softened slightly)
• 1 cup milk (I usually use whole)
• 8-9 tsp Nesquik powder

Instructions:

1. Add all ingredients to the blender. Cover and blend until smooth and creamy.
2. You may want to scrape the sides of the blender once, then start to blend again.
3. Once done, pour into serving glasses and serve with a straw or spoon.

Pro tip: While you can try Wendy's Frosty recipe without an ice cream maker, it’s advised to make this in a home ice cream maker to get the same thick and creamy consistency as the real thing!
