Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the Cold Milk and Cornstarch until smooth. This is your Thickener.
Add the Chocolate Milk, Heavy Cream, Granulated Sugar, Vanilla Extract, and Salt to the saucepan.
Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until very cold and thickened.
Serve chilled. For a Frosty-like consistency, blend briefly before serving.
