- Want it extra fluffy? Whip the cream before freezing for a mousse-like version.
- Extra indulgent idea: Top with sugar-free chocolate chips or whipped cream!
🍦 A Fast-Food Classic, Made Keto
This Keto Frosty is my go-to when I want something cold, sweet, and totally satisfying—without derailing my macros. It’s rich and creamy like soft serve, but with none of the sugar or mystery ingredients.
If you grew up dunking fries into a Wendy’s Frosty (no judgment), you’ll love this keto remake that’s just as thick and spoonable.

❓ FAQ
Q: Can I use granulated sweetener?
A: Powdered is best for a smooth texture. If using granulated, blend it into a powder first.
Q: How long can I freeze it?
A: For best texture, enjoy within an hour of mixing. If freezing longer, thaw slightly and remix before serving.
Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Try using full-fat coconut cream instead of heavy cream. Chill it before blending for best results.
