- A quarter tsp. of xanthan gum
- 0.5 cup of whipping cream(heavy)
- Ice cubes, a cup
- 2 tbsp. of cocoa powder
INGREDIENT NOTES:
POWDERED COCOA:
- You will need the unsweetened Dutch-processed/natural cocoa powder. You may go for the raw cacao powder, but it will be slightly more bitter.
ICE CUBES:
- These ice cubes will be very necessary to have that signature frosty texture.
MILK OF ALMOND:
- The milk of almonds will be used as the low-carb base for the frosty. You may go for macadamia milk, milk of coconut, or cashew milk as a replacement.
SWEETENER:
- We are using the powdered version of monkfruit/erythritol as it will be easier to dissolve in chilled mixtures. You can also opt for a stevia-erythritol blend or allulose as a replacement.
XANTHAN GUM:
- It is a low-carb thickener that is not mandatory to use, but using it will give you a similar thickness without using the ice cream. You can also swap the xanthan gum with either gelatin powder or guar gum.
WHIPPING CREAM:
- It contributes to the light & fluffy base & adds healthy fats without increasing carbs. To go non-dairy, choose the cream of coconut.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Include the cream & milk of almond in the blender jug.
- Next, add sweetener, ice cubes, cocoa powder, salt, essence of vanilla, & xanthan gum to the milk & cream.
- Plug in the blender & cover it.
- Run the blender on high speed till you achieve your desired frosty texture.
- It will take ~sixty seconds.
- You need to clean the sides in between if needed.
- Now, look for the texture; if it is too thick, then include some milk of almonds.
- If the texture is too thin, then add some more ice along with a bit of xanthan gum.
- Blend again to incorporate well.
- Now, fill the glasses & serve/enjoy your Keto Wendy’s Frosty immediately.
TIPS:
- You need to go for the powdered version of sweeteners while working with the chilled liquids. As granular won’t dissolve completely in the cold liquids.
- An amazing tip to have a super thick texture is to freeze ~half of the almond milk into an ice tray. When you blend the cubes of almond milk with all the other items, the amazing texture will amaze you.
- If you want to enjoy/serve it with its classic & authentic texture, then serve it as soon as it is blended.
STORAGE DETAILS:
- If you store the leftover frosty in either the refrigerator or freezer, you need to blend it again right before serving
REFRIGERATION:
- Pack the leftover frosty in a container(airtight) & refrigerate it for ~24 hours only.
FREEZING:
- You may freeze the frosty in a mold or cubes of ice. Blend right before serving, no need to defrost.
FAQs:
What might be the reason that my frosty is not too thick?
- If that problem occurs, freeze half of the almond milk in cubes of ice or use a bit of xanthan gum. This will assist you in achieving the signature texture of the frosty.
Will it work if I also swap the milk of almond with cream(heavy)?
- Sure! There will not be any disturbance in the texture. The calorie count will become too high for a person on a keto diet & the frosty will become too rich & over-filling. To balance its richness & calories, you need to mix the heavy cream with almond milk.
May I customize my Keto Wendy’s Frosty?
- Sure! You may include a teaspoon of coffee(instant) for the mocha version or a single tablespoon of peanut butter to have a delicious nutty feel.
