Magic Chocolate Milk Shakes ( Wendy's Frosty Copycat )

No Ice Cream needed for this delicious Wendy's Mock Frosty! When we're in need for something sweet and don't have ice cream I break out the blender for this treat! BTW this really is very similar to the Wendy's Frosty.

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Yields: 4 12 oz shakes

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2-2  cups  ice water
• 1 1⁄2 cups  nonfat dry milk powder
• 2⁄3 cup sugar
• 1⁄4 cup  unsweetened cocoa
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 18  ice cubes, as much as you can spare (1 1/2 trays)
• 2  tablespoons  corn oil
•  nonstick cooking spray, squirt this is for emulsification purposes (5 second)

Directions

1. Place all of the ingredients into the blender, including the oil and the non-stick spray.
2. Use less water for thicker milk shakes and more water for shakes that are easy on the blender motor. The blender should be about 3/4's full.
3. Place the lid on. Process for a full 2 minutes. Pour into cups and serve.
4. Variations:
5. Add 1 tablespoon of instant coffee for a mocha shake.
6. Add 1 very ripe banana for a chocolate banana shake.
7. Add a big spoonful of peanut butter for a decandent Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake.
8. Add a few broken red and white candy mints for a refreshing Chocolate Mint shake.
9. To make a vanilla Milk Shake, omit the cocoa powder, reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup and add 1 Tablespoon (yes a full tablespoon) of vanilla flavoring. For a french vanilla milk shake crack in an egg too.
10. *** Splenda can be used in this recipe. It is measure for measure.
