Vanilla Frosty®
$1.29 -$3.19 | 190-510 Cal
The Vanilla Frosty® is a smooth, cool, and creamy dairy dessert. It is famously thick enough to eat with a spoon but thin enough to enjoy through a straw as it melts. It has a classic, sweet vanilla profile and is a popular choice for dipping Wendy’s natural-cut fries for a “sweet and salty” treat.

FAQs
Is the Vanilla Frosty regular ice cream?
No. It has less butterfat than traditional ice cream, so it is classified as a frozen dairy dessert, not ice cream.
Does it contain eggs?
No. Wendy’s Frostys do not contain eggs, making them suitable for people with egg allergies.
Why is the texture thicker than a milkshake?
Frostys are served colder (about 19°F–21°F), which gives them their signature thick, spoonable texture.
Is the Vanilla Frosty vegetarian?
Yes. It is vegetarian-friendly but not vegan, since it contains dairy.
Can I mix Vanilla and Chocolate?
Yes! Many locations offer a Twist or 50/50 Frosty, combining both flavors in one cup.
