Notes

You can make this Frosty recipe up to a week ahead of time. There’s no need to stir hourly. Just freeze in a freezer-safe container (or several smaller containers) with a lid. When you’re ready to serve, remove from the freezer and allow to defrost at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Break into frozen chunks and blend in a blender until smooth.
