This creamy, chocolatey, low-carb frosty is the ultimate frozen dessert rich, indulgent, and ready in just 5 minutes. With only 5 net carbs, it’s perfect for keto, paleo, gluten-free, vegan and clean-eating lifestyles.
The Best Keto Frosty
I couldn’t be more excited about this recipe! Using only five simple, keto-friendly ingredients, I’ve recreated a sugar-free, homemade version of the classic Wendy’s frosty. Once you try this thick and luscious treat, you might never crave traditional ice cream again.
Quick & Easy Blender Method
Making this keto chocolate frosty is as easy as it gets. Just add ice, full-fat coconut milk, cacao powder, almond butter, and monk fruit sweetener to your blender. The key to the perfect texture? Crush the ice first in a high-speed blender. In just about 10 seconds, it transforms into fine, fluffy snow, creating a silky-smooth frosty without icy chunks or heat-induced melting.
Why Use Coconut Milk?
Full-fat canned coconut milk or coconut cream gives this dessert its luxuriously creamy texture. It’s naturally dairy-free, but you can easily swap in almond milk for a lighter version or heavy cream for a richer, more traditional keto treat.
Low-Carb & Guilt-Free Indulgence
Each serving contains only 5 net carbs while delivering healthy fats and keto-friendly macros. Thick, sweet, and loaded with chocolate flavor, it’s a dessert you can whip up anytime and enjoy without a second thought.
Here’s a Storage and Tips & Tricks section you can add to your keto frosty recipe:
Storage
- Best Fresh – This frosty is at its creamiest right after blending, so enjoy it immediately for the perfect texture.
- Short-Term Storage – If you have leftovers, transfer them to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 1 week. Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before eating, or blend with a splash of coconut milk to restore creaminess.
- Frozen Treat Option – Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for a refreshing keto chocolate popsicle.
Tips & Tricks
- Crush Ice First – Always crush the ice before blending with the other ingredients to prevent large chunks and achieve that silky, thick texture.
- Chill Ingredients – Use chilled coconut milk and almond butter for a thicker, colder frosty.
- Adjust Sweetness – Taste before serving and add more monk fruit sweetener if you prefer it sweeter.
- Make It Extra Creamy – Replace part of the coconut milk with heavy cream for an even richer texture (still keto-friendly).
