Thin Mint Frosty
I love a Wendy’s Frosty! But what if Wendy was a Girl Scout? Well, she would definitely be making (and loving) this Thin Mint Frosty!
A lot of DIY Frosty recipes use an ice cream maker… but who has time for that? We want our Frosty now! So with a little Blendtec magic I whipped this delicious cold treat up in just a few seconds.
I can’t even tell you how obsessed I am with my Blendtec. It turns ice into snow. I spend all summer making homemade slushies! And my green smoothies actually tasty good 🙂
You’ll notice that I have chocolate milk ice cubes, you don’t have to do that. Put in as many Thin Mints as you want (I actually cheated and used the Keebler knock-offs)! You can even add a little peppermint extract to really punch up the minty taste.
I was at the Miami airport for an 8 hour layover in January. What kept me company? Netflix and a Frosty. It was pure bliss while I people-watched my way into the evening until my flight boarded.
I was on a crazy trip with 60 people I didn’t know. There was an insane flight deal to the Virgin Islands and I thought… “Why not? Be adventurous Lizzy!” The resort we were at was in the middle of nowhere and the restaurants at the resort listed insane prices online. $18 for eggs? No thank you. So I packed bagels, mandarine oranges, granola bars and bananas. Five days later when I passed that Wendy’s in the airport… I was a goner. Cool, chocolatey goodness. Yes please.
Ps: I still haven’t been able to eat another bagel since. I overdid it. But hey, I saved a ton of money!
I was about ready to chug this it was so amazing! I kept sneaking little tastes and had to refill the cute glass between shots!
Blendtec lovin’…
Here’s to Wendy being a Girl Scout and earning a badge for this treat!

Thin Mint Frosty
Ingredients
- 12 oz. tub Cool Whip
- 1/4 C. sweetened condensed milk
- 2 Tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 C. chocolate milk I froze mine as ice cubes
- 8-10 Thin Mints or more if desired
- 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract optional
Instructions
- 1. Place all ingredients in your blendtec (I like using the blendtec as opposed to other blenders because I NEVER have any lumps when it's done mixing).
- 2. Press the smoothie or frozen treat button and you're done!
- 3. Top with crushed Thin Mints, and if you're feeling really crazy you can top with whipped cream and green sprinkles!
- NOTE: You can place the Frosty in the freezer to thicken or until ready to serve!
Thanks for sharing this ;),
I am surprised that nobody commented this yet, I definitely must try it, it looks amazing, probably try it with this and little changed recipe, but I just felt hungry :).
