Intro: Homemade Frosty - an Ice Cream Treat!

I have always enjoyed those tasty frosty desserts from Wendy's. Cool, creamy and refreshing, but not always within my reach. It was a very long time ago when I realized that as long as I had ice cream in the freezer and a spoon on hand, i would be able to enjoy this tasty treat at anytime.

The process is very simple and can be very rewarding.

Let's get started!

STEP 1: Homemade Frosty - Materials

1. Ice Cream*
2. Bowl**
3. Spoon
4. Elbow Grease

*You may use any flavour of ice cream. However, flavours that contain chunks of ingredients, such as nuts or chocolate chips, will make this process a little more challenging, but not impossible.

**It is best to use a single serving ice cream bowl (similar in size to the one below).

STEP 2: Homemade Frosty - Step 1: Measuring

Once you have gathered all your materials:

- Start by scooping ice cream from the tub into your bowl.
- I would recommend 1 - 2 scoops, but that is totally up to you and the size of your bowl.

*Remember: the more ice cream, the more elbow grease!

STEP 3: Homemade Frosty - Step 2: Mixing

Now you are ready to mix! This is your chance to use up all of that elbow grease you have lying around! Take your spoon and start mixing.

- I started by pressing down on the scoops of ice cream with the convex side of the spoon.
- Then I poked the ice cream with the tip of the spoon.
- Now you can start to mix in a circular motion. After a few spins you will be halfway done.
- Be cautious, the ice cream will have a tendency to spill over the sides of the bowl.
- Keep mixing until you are satisfied with your results.

STEP 4: Homemade Frosty - Step 3: Enjoy!

Now you can sit back and enjoy your cool, creamy and refreshing dessert!

I've always been scolded from doing this (My mum had a friend who suffered illness and could only eat ice cream like this) but I've always done it anyways :)

I learned how to make this when I was a little kid watching "Pee Wee's Playhouse," though he called the recipe "ice cream soup." I have been been making "ice cream soup" for the last 20 years and have found that certain flavors do in fact taste like Wendy's Frosty Desert. For me, lower quality chocolate ice cream with MARSHMALLOW CREAM seems to be a pretty close match for me as far as flavor and consitency when compared with the Frosty. All in all it's nothing more than a milkshake.

Haha! I do this ALL the time. Actually had it for breakfast this morning too! I recommend using Neapolitan ice cream because the end result tastes almost exactly like a Frosty.

I'm sure this is perfectly delicious, and was a bit of a humorous instructable. However, if anyone has a recipe that more resembles the real Frosties, would you please consider posting???
