4 Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Homemade Frosty Recipe (V+GF): an easy, 5-minute recipe for a thick ‘n creamy homemade Wendy’s frosty made with just 4 healthy ingredients! Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo option, No Added Sugar, Refined Sugar-Free.
Have you ever tried a frozen hot chocolate? I know, I know, it’s totally a weird, but yummy, but also understandably, mind boggler of a concept. Contradiction much? 😉
I wasn’t exactly warming to the concept.
But about a year and a half ago, I made something that tasted like a hot chocolate, but frozen. Yes, I’m full of delicious contradictions. It was this peanut butter hot chocolate smoothie. It was one of the tastiest things I’ve ever drank. (Why does saying “drank” always sound wrong, btw?)
Anywho, the happy accident that came from that was realizing that I could say ‘that’ three times in one sentence. Heh heh. I mean… I realized that peanut butter adds a wonderfully creamy and thick element to frozen treats. One reader even pointed out that the frozen hot chocolate recipe reminded her of a frosty.
So just one and a half short years later, I’ve revised, tested, and re-worked that peanut butter hot chocolate smoothie recipe into this 4 Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Homemade Frosty Recipe. Ta-da!!!
(Okay, I know I take forever and a half to do my recipe testing. But better late than never, right? ;))
Anyway, this year I’ve been applying the “peanut butter + frozen desserts = creamy frozen bliss” equation to quite a few mouthwatering treats. See: Banana Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream and more to come this summer!
The results have been incredible. And I thought it was high time to make and share this homemade frosty. Upgraded with peanut butter, of course. (Doubly upgraded if you drizzle homemade peanut butter on top… and add a plate of freshly-made no bake chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies on the side).
This chocolate peanut butter homemade frosty recipe is super thick, ultra creamy and ridiculously good. It takes only a few minutes to make, and perhaps even less to eat. Alright, if you don’t want a brain freeze, a few more minutes than that—but Erik didn’t let that stop him!
If I don’t have you totally convinced yet, allow me to regale you with this chocolate peanut butter homemade frosty recipe’s most delicious aspects. It’s:
- made with just 4 ingredients
- ready in minutes
- deliciously vegan, gluten free, dairy-free
- wonderfully creamy and thick
- a delicious homemade frosty made without whipped cream or condensed milk
- the tastiest way to find out how to make a frosty like Wendy’s .
- deliciously plant-based and allergy-friendly
- the perfect healthy afternoon treat to have with maybe 1 or 2 of these chocolate peanut butter no bake energy bites
- just the healthy homemade Wendy’s frosty you’ve been searching for
- soooo good, you wished you’d made it sooner (but you couldn’t because I took forever and then some to share this, my bad!)
Here’s to the happy, lazy vibes of summer! I hope you and your loved ones get to share in some slow, relaxing moments of joy in these coming months. I’m looking forward to seeing all of your frozen BB creations on Instagram and Facebook! As always….
Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter ❤

I don’t suppose there is a substitute for bananas? My daughter is dairy free and I am allergic to bananas. Trying to find a nice summer treat for our family.
★★★★★
Hi Steph, you can try freezing dairy free sweetened vanilla yogurt in an ice cube tray and substitute that for the frozen bananas. 🙂
I want to try with the frozen yogurt! How much do I need? I have a food scale so please give me the metrics? Thank you, Demeter ❤️
★★★★★
I am so going to try this today and it might snow tomorrow! Hahaha .
★★★★★
Nothing wrong with that! 😉 For some odd reason, I love making frozen treats when it’s cold outside. Hehe!
I can’t have bananas, what would be a good substitute??
Try dairy free yogurt, frozen into cubes in an ice cube tray. Good luck!
This looks incredible! And don’t even get me started on that peanut butter drizzle! Excuse me while I go freeze some bananas now. 😉
★★★★★
Haha yes! The drizzle is the best! Hope you enjoy! .
I am officially drooling over here! YUM!
Haha then my job is done here!
Such an interesting contradiction! I am really hooked by this idea now. Gotta try it soon with these simple ingredients 😉
Oh yes Natalie, it’s seriously so good! I think you’re gonna love it!
Hi Demeter,
I make a similar concoction for brunch, but add baby spinach, and avocado for more green goodness and creaminess.
I cannot wait to try your recipe!
Even if you are not vegan, at least a few vegan meals or snacks will contribute to good health.
Ooh that does sound good Nicki! I hope you enjoy the recipe! ☺️

Woohoo! Glad you’re enjoying it Anna!
Just when I think a Frosty can’t get better…. you go and add peanut butter!! My favorite combo!
Haha exactly! . It’s seriously such a tasty combo!
This is perfect timing! I bought too many bananas this week and froze some to have on hand for banana ice cream or smoothies. Can’t wait to try! Love how healthy yet delicious it is 🙂
Awesome! Isn’t it just great when that works out? ☺️ Hope you enjoy it!
This awesome recipe covers all the bases! Most importantly, flavor!! I’m always looking for gf, and vegan dessert solutions.
Oh yes, flavor is number one! ☺️ Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Don’t you taste the bananas at all? That and the texture are my only concerns. . . that and bananas never make it the freezer in our house. . .
There’s probably a light banana flavor, but most of my taste testers only tasted peanut butter and chocolate. 😉 The texture is super thick and creamy. 🙂
Good to know, thanks! 🙂
OMG I want this for breakfast! That looks so thick and frosty, and has all my favorite flavors, wow!!
Haha this is so good for breakfast! . So tasty and satisfying!
Such an incredible drink for summer! I love how easily it comes together and that peanut butter drizzle over the top.

Aw you’re too sweet Kim! ☺️ Yes, so easy and fun to make!
You had me wondering how you can have a frozen hot chocolate, but somehow I get the concept. Making frosty’s is perfect for summer, you really canot get enough of cold things when the weather is hot hot hot. Sounds delicious and looks amazing.
★★★★★
I know, right! That’s exactly how I felt about it before. But it’s SO good once you try it!
This looks so easy and delicious. Can’t go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate!
