Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk of choice or creamer (preferably frozen in ice cube trays)
- 3/4 cup silken tofu (soy-free options available)
- 2 tbsp peanut butter or peanut powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 – 4 tbsp sweetener of choice (such as sugar, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute)
- Optional handful chocolate chips or peanuts for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Frozen Milk Cubes: Freeze your milk or creamer in an ice cube tray in advance. This step is essential to achieve a thick, creamy texture without diluting the flavor. Avoid using regular ice cubes as they can water down the frosty’s taste.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the frozen milk cubes, silken tofu, peanut butter or powder, salt, vanilla extract, and sweetener into a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by thawing frozen milk slightly if using a regular blender, or blend longer in a high-powered blender like a Vitamix for the best results.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the frosty into serving glasses. Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips or peanuts on top for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately while cold and creamy.
Notes
- Freezing the milk or creamer beforehand is key to a thick and frosty consistency.
- Do not add ice cubes as they will dilute the flavor.
- Use a high-powered blender for the creamiest texture; otherwise, allow frozen milk to thaw slightly before blending.
- Silken tofu provides protein and creaminess without overwhelming the peanut butter flavor.
- Customize the sweetness and peanut butter amount to your taste preferences.
- Perfect as a quick dessert or a nutritious snack.
