Chocolate Frosty Ice Cream


Earlier this week my new ice cream freezer was delivered.  Now I already had a ice cream freezer, but I wanted an old fashioned one that you fill the bucket with ice and rock salt.  I couldn't hardly wait to try out my new freezer.  I was tempted to skip work and just make ice cream all day, but I figured that might not be good on my wallet.  So I had to wait until the weekend.


Today I finally found some time to make a batch of ice cream.  I first had this ice cream at a church ice cream social.  The lady who made it shared the recipe with me.  It really is the simplest ice cream I have ever made and it tastes remarkably like a Wendy's Frosty.


Chocolate Frosty Ice Cream

1 gallon chocolate milk
16 oz Cool Whip
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl.  Then freeze the mixture in a ice cream freezer according to the manufacturers instructions. 


This recipe fills my 1.5 gallon ice cream freezer.  If you have a smaller ice cream freezer you may have to freeze it in two batches.

  16. My parents used to do that so much in the summer when I was a kid. This is a great recipe that I will be trying soon with the newer version of ice cream makers but I should be getting the one like you have. Way to go, Bo!

  17. Oh my God Bo, does that ever look good! I didn't know you wanted one of these. My mother had two of this kind of ice cream freezer and was looking for new homes for them! I also just saw a recipe for lavender and cardamon flavored ice creams. Hmmmmmm, sound sort of good, but just not sure. How can you top chocolate?

    ReplyDelete
  18. OK, this is amazing. I will be trying this soon... well, after we clear out the 3 different kinds of homemade ice cream that are now in our freezer :) And I love my old fashioned ice cream maker, (looks just like yours) it somehow makes me feel better about eating all that ice cream! Thanks for this awesome recipe!

  19. Oh that is so much fun! Reminds me of my younger days! :)

  20. Never seen an ice-cream freezer like that until now. Does the bucket also come as a part of that freezer?

    Perfectly made ice-cream. I am loving it. Tx to you and church lady.

  21. It just wouldn't be summer without homemade ice cream. I really love my old fashioned ice cream maker too. Really loving the looks of your frosty. What an amazing recipe! You certainly can't go wrong with an ice cream recipe (or any recipe for that matter) containing condensed milk!

  22. Delicious ice-cream !!! Love the pic too !!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I bet that would make an awesome frosty cocktail mixed with some Godiva liquor... :)

  24. Steven,

    Debbi,
    It tastes good with low fat ingredients too.

    the laquer spoon,
    Thanks!

    Michael,
    Thanks. Me too!

    Meesync,
    yeah...I have a cuisinart too, but I've always really wanted one like this.

    Only 3 ingredients...sounds like one of your recipes.

    Jeannie,
    It will not last too long.

    Robin,
    Go buy one...you will not regret it.

    Jacqueline,
    Thanks.

    Ana,
    You need to get one.

    Get one...It is even more fun to make than it is to eat.

    Robin,
    Try it.

    MaryMoh,
    Anything with condesed milk is good.

    Sonia,
    Sure...Thanks!

    Pam,
    Try it.

    Mistress Maddie,
    Your right...that doesn't sound as good as chocolate.

    Abbey,
    It sure is more fun to make in an old fashione done.

    Suresh,
    Mee too.

    PigPig,

  25. Oh wow. This can't be for real! Sounds so good!

  26. Great recipe! I can taste in my mind how the cool whip would give that unique dimension of flavor. A simple and delicious recipe! and I'm sure it was worth the wait!

    ReplyDelete
  27. What an easy ice cream recipe! I used to love those frosties - would surely love this. That's a cool ice cream maker too!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Love your ice cream maker...and the chocolate ice cream looks very smooth and creamy!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Bo, you are going to laugh, but I bought an old crank machine at a flea market for one dollar, lol, hubby gets this look when I drag that out at gatherins, because I sit on it, and he cranks- well gets cranky that is, lol

    Ummm, I could make a smoothie with some of that!

    ReplyDelete
  30. That really brings back memories! My grandparents had an old-fashioned ice cream maker - not electric but hand crank. All the kids took turns turning - it was such a chore especially at the end, but well worth the taste! Your ice cream looks delicious!

  31. Home made ice cream is the est! So excited for summer desserts!

  32. The Dou Dishes,
    Thanks!

    NS,
    You know I hardly ever "never" use Cool Whip, but I don't think it would be near as good without it.

    Cinnamon Girl,
    It is easier to buy a Frosty, but this is more fun.

    Angie,
    Thanks!

    Chef E,
    I thought about getting a hand crank one, but figured it would only be used once.

    Cathy,
    Thanks...A hand crank one would be great if you had a bunch of kids to crank it.

    James,
    Me too!

  33. chocolate ice cream made the good old fashioned way is a girl's best friend.
    I am tickled that you went for the traditional style ice cream freezer. Good for you!

    ReplyDelete
  34. This is great, and to think I almost missed it. I know what I'll be doing shortly. Looks as good as is sounds! Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  35. it's all about the joy of making food and the process of creating it, not so much of eating it in the end :))

    ReplyDelete
  36. That sure does look like a Wendy's frosty. I'd had my heart set on trying a cherry, chocolate chip ice cream-Until I saw THIS! Going to try this instead now.
    Thanks.
    BTW-Is that a Publix label I see on that milk? I am so homesick for a Publix :{

    ReplyDelete
  37. As everyone has already said...yum! I have such fond memories of going to get frosties with my dad. This brought all of those wonderful memories back. Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Next time, invite me! OK! hehe.... Yummm.... Enjoy your day, Bo.

    Dezmond,
    I still love to eat it too.

    Carla,
    Yes...Publix is the grocery store king here.

    Monet,
    Frosties were my favorite as a kid.

    Kristy,
    Thanks!
