FAQs
Is the Chocolate Frosty real ice cream?
Not exactly. It’s classified as a frozen dairy dessert because it has a lower milk-fat content and is churned to stay soft and spoonable.
Why isn’t it dark chocolate?
Dave Thomas wanted a mild chocolate flavor that wouldn’t overpower Wendy’s burgers. The Classic Chocolate Frosty is actually a blend of chocolate and vanilla.
Is there a dairy-free or vegan Frosty?
No. All Frosty flavors are dairy-based, though Wendy’s has tested plant-based versions in select international markets.
Is the Chocolate Frosty available all year?
Yes! While the second Frosty machine rotates seasonal flavors, Classic Chocolate is almost always on the menu year-round.
Does a Chocolate Frosty contain caffeine?
Only a trace amount from cocoa—usually under 5 mg in a small—so it’s generally safe for people sensitive to caffeine.
