Hip tips to make the best keto-inspired Wendy’s Frosty:
- I added just a tablespoon of almond butter (you can also use peanut butter or even cream cheese for fewer carbs).
- I used liquid Stevia, but feel free to use your favorite sweetener of choice and adjust to taste.
- If you’d prefer, this can be made in a stand mixer such as a KitchenAid. It’ll take a couple of minutes for stiff peaks to form.
- Have a dairy allergy? Consider swapping heavy cream for full-fat coconut cream instead!
- For a vanilla variation: Use 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 heaping tablespoon cream cheese, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon liquid stevia, ½ teaspoon Swerve confectioners.
- For a Peanut Butter Chocolate variation: Use 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon almond butter, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon sugar-free peanut butter powder, ½ teaspoon liquid Stevia, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon Swerve confectioners.

To get the fancy soft-serve look, scoop the chocolate frosty in a plastic freezer bag, cut the end from the corner, and pipe into small cups.
It’s a very rich dessert, so the serving size is small. I love that it’s a creamy and smooth dessert idea. It’s perfect if you’re in the mood for a Frosty-like treat!

I am wondering why it differs from what you have here.
We used My Fitness Pal to figure out our nutrition information. Some brands will differ a little bit in nutritional values as well.
All recipes differ by products used..
The liquid Stevia left a bad aftertaste and it just tasted funny. I’ll have to try another type of sweetener.
Hi Jill. Darn I’m sorry to hear that. I am personally a big fan of Monkfruit. Maybe you can try that instead! Hope this helps❤
Thx
I thought Monkfruit was 100% Carbs… ?
Hi Janette! It actually has 0 net carbs. You can find more details on Monk Fruit over here –> https://hip2keto.com/tips/what-is-monk-fruit-sweetener/

Hope this helps!
I had a similar problem. It was very creamy and definitely could taste the Wendy’s flavor but it was overpowered by bitterness. I Thought it was because of the cocoa. Maybe it was the stevia.
I really like monkfruit because there is not an aftertaste. You could sub in a few teaspoons of that instead. I would use what I have on hand which is granular.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME GOING TO TRY THIS
Yay! Hope you enjoy it, Noah!
Tried both vanilla and choc and very good except the serving sizes!!! I could easily eat two servings and still call it a small so the carbs do mount up but still worth it.
I used my Dash ice cream maker, 20 mins.
I know what you mean! I could eat a lot more of this! Glad you liked it, Heidibeth!
Made it today!! Easy and delicious!! I substituted the PB for 1TBSP of cream cheese and the liquid stevia for 1TBSP of monkfruit sugar substitute. 2net carbs per serving! I will be making this one again
Great substitutions, Sandy brasher! I’m glad you are adding this to your rotation! It’s a great Keto dessert.
THANK YOU, added strawberry extract and a drop of red food colouring. Cut the sweetener to only Lakanto…strawberry milkshake or leave it longer and strawberry ice cream.
YUM! You’re so welcome! Thanks for letting us know how you made yours!
Thanks for this easy recipe!! I had some heavy cream to use up and made this tonight – used granulated monk sugar to replace the stevia, based on comments. It tastes great but is a bit gritty (I’m thinking because it wasn’t a liquid sweetener). Is there anything I can do to use granulated monk sugar but have this dessert be smoother? I’m trying to get my husband/son into keto/sugar-free desserts so am trying to avoid any kind of bitterness.
Hi Amanda! Be sure to check out all of our sweetener alternatives and how to use them over here –> https://hip2keto.com/tips/low-carb-keto-sweetener-conversion-chart-recipes/
Hoping this is helpful!
Hi Amanda,
You can just blitz granulated sugar in a nutribullet until it becomes powder. That’s what I do & it works like a charm!
Do you have to use almond butter? I’m just afraid it will add a strange taste.
Hi there! You could use peanut butter or cream cheese instead. 😊
