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.

The ingredients I entered is 1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp almond butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 drops liquid stevia (or sweetener of your choice)
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.
I’ve made this using chocolate protein powder instead of unsweetened cocoa.
All recipes differ by products used..
Gloria, I never trust the macro apps. There’s always mistakes! If you want to definitely be accurate just do the math yourself with each of your ingredients. But the one cup of cream itself would have 8 carbs, so that would be two carbs a serving right there without including the almond butter and the cocoa powder. 😊
I use a Giant Eagle Brand heavy whipping cream which has 0 carbs
All cream has around 0.5 carbs per Tbs… Companies are allowed to say 0 per serving if anything is less than 1 per serving!
Did NOT taste good at all. Not sure if it was because of stevia like another comment mentioned. Weird aftertaste, tried adding more stevia, keto powdered sugar to add any kind extra sweetness. It was that bad. Might try again with monk fruit.
I’m sorry you didn’t like the taste. I use monkfruit because I don’t like the aftertaste of sweeteners either.
I made the vanilla version of this today, to much stevia for me. I did enjoy it but I’m wondering how many carbs did I actually have. My friend and I have been arguing about the number of carbs. I figured if Wendy’s has 2 carbs the vanilla has to be less because it didn’t have peanut butter or almond butter in it. The amount per serving is more than Wendy’s.
Thanks so much for commenting! We have added the nutritional values for the other two variations! Hoping that is helpful! 🤗🙌💞
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
So when I look at monk fruit in the store it has sugar carbs but when I see it in recipes it doesn’t seem to add in. Am I missing something? Please help🙏🏻😂
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/

NO CARBS ! MONKFRUIT
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.
yes i agree monkfruit is the best . NO AFTER TASTE AT ALL
How much monkfruit? I tried this today using a similar recipe which called for 3 tablespoons of sweetener to 1 1/2 cups cream. It was way too much and tasted awful. Thank you.
When you use Monkfruit, you cut the sweetener in half. For the recipe you made, you would only use 1 1/2 Tablespoons. In this recipe above, you could start out with 2 teaspoons and taste it. You could add a little more if it’s not sweet enough at that point.
What would the conversation be for monk fruit sweetener. I don’t have liquid
I would start with 2 teaspoons and taste it to see if it’s sweet enough.
I haven’t tried the recipe yet , but a great fix for bitterness is a pinch of salt. I use Sweetleaf stevia almost exclusively if I’m using straight stevia whether powdered or liquid. I don’t use an erythitol blend unless I have no other choice. (It’s in my monk fruit blend) I found that mixing sweeteners also helps the flavor and I will mix stevia with my monk fruit blend.
I like the swerve sugar replacement to me. No after taste.
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!
How did you make it vanilla?
Hi there! That option is listed above!
“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.”
Enjoy!
I just bought the small dash ice cream maker yesterday! Do you have any tips to using it with this recipe?
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. 😊
Using a piping bag is such a waste of time, and yumminess lol Who does that, really??
I really want this recipe and others sweets for Keto desserts
Hi Diane! You can find all of our yummy desserts over here – https://hip2keto.com/category/keto-recipes/desserts/ Hope that helps!
Could all ingredients be put in a nutabullet?
Yes, I think that’d work great!
I would like to know how much coca powder you use in your recipe
Hi Helen! For this we used 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
When I look at monk fruit in the store it shows sugar carbs, but in recipes it doesn’t seem to reflect. What am I missing? Please help😂🙏🏻
It does show carbs from sugar alcohol. If you are using net carbs, then you subtract all sugar alcohol which means they have zero net carbs.
Just eat or NOT eat the damn ice cream. Ketosis is nothing to fool around with.
