"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."

directions

Place all of the ingredients into the blender, including the oil and the non-stick spray.
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.
Place the lid on. Process for a full 2 minutes. Pour into cups and serve.
Variations:
Add 1 tablespoon of instant coffee for a mocha shake.
Add 1 very ripe banana for a chocolate banana shake.
Add a big spoonful of peanut butter for a decandent Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake.
Add a few broken red and white candy mints for a refreshing Chocolate Mint shake.
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.
*** Splenda can be used in this recipe. It is measure for measure.

I was just thinking to myself how deprived my kids are that I've never made them a chocolate shake because I don't keep ice cream in the house and I stumbled upon this recipe. All of them gave it 5 stars. Easy to make, ingredients I had in the house and only costs pennies to make. Will be making this on a regular basis from now on. Thank you for posting!

I made this for my son who LOVES Wendy's Vanilla Frosty and he thought it was very similar. Couldn't be easier. As recommended I cut back on the oil and forgot to add the spray but didn't notice any difference. I added less water but next time I think I will add even less. Thanks for a great recipe!

Could have fooled me that there wasn't any ice cream in it; it sure tasted like it. I never had Wendy's Frosty so I can't compare but I do know this tasted good. The only thing I didn't like was the taste of the cooking spray so next time I will use less of that. The nice thing about this recipe is that you can make it as thick or thin as you like.

Really quick, I just got up from the computer, cut the recipe in half and made it in about 3 minutes. Super cheap. I agree, too sweet for my tastes and you need a good blender motor. Would be good for a bunch of kids.
