Notes

  • If you have an ice-cream maker you can use that instead of putting the frosty mixture into the freezer.
  • I used regular 1% chocolate milk but chocolate almond milk will also work in this recipe.
  • If you don’t have a freezer safe container large enough to hold all of the frosty mixture, divide it up into 2 or 3 smaller batches to put in the freezer. Make sure you don’t fill the container to the very top, the mixture will expand a bit as it freezes. If you freeze the frosty mixture in smaller batches the freeze time will be slightly shorter.
  • I have made this using glass and plastic freezer containers. The mixture in the plastic freezes slightly faster than the mixture in the glass container.
