- ½ cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar

- 4 cups (520 g) ice cubes
Directions
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid.
- Select Variable 1.
- Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High. Use the tamper to press the ingredients into the blades.
- In about 45 seconds, the sound of the motor will change and four mounds should form.
- Stop machine. Do not over mix or melting will occur. Serve immediately.

Good but....
I have received the Vitamix as a gift from my father because I wanted to make a smoothie with a powerful blender. So when I got the recipe book that has the cookbook I saw a lot this recipe and I thought I would try this one because I had all the ingredients except the dry milk. Anyways, I tried this recipe and it was more of a copy cat of Wendy's Frosty, same texture. I think children would love this. When you follow the recipe/instructions and you do it right. It comes out as a Frosty texture and then it melts very fast. It doesn't come out like the picture shown. I always had to tweak recipes with the Vitamix.

Super easy and delicious
I have the 750 series, and we love making sorbets from frozen fruit so I was excited to try "ice cream"
I followed the recipe exactly as above except I substituted almond milk (made in the vitamin) for milk and 1/4 cup of chia seeds for the dry milk. It requires tamping and you must stop blending on time .
The result was ice cream that resembles a "frosty" and was delicious!
I will try again with a frozen banana and 3 cups of ice and chilled full fat coconut milk to improve the texture and make it more creamy.

Small adjustment makes a big difference
This was not bad... I made a couple changes to get that creamy ice-cream texture with a better flavor.
24 Chocolate pudding cubes (in place of ice cubes)*
1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt (in place of the nonfat dry milk)
1/2 cup of ground up milk chocolate chips (in place of unsweetened coco powder)
*note: I used almond/cashew milk blend to make the pudding, but regular milk where the original recipe calls for milk
my family loves this recipe with these few changes, hopefully this works for you and your families as well.

Easy Recipe to modufy
I switched up some ingredients like 12 frozen vanilla pudding cubes for half if the ice cube requirement and also put peppermint chips in - much more like ice cream consistency. I had to freeze it before serving it.

Love The Revision!
I accidentally revised Ambassador's revision, substituting 4 cups of vanilla pudding cubes instead of ice cubes and WHOA! You'll never buy store bought ice cream again. I'm assuming that if we omit the cocoa powder we end up with good ol' vanilla ice cream. I shall attempt this next batch. SO AGAIN...follow the original recipe, only use 4 cups of vanilla pudding cubes rather than ice cubes, and refrigerate for at least a couple hours before serving. DIVINE!

Good but my variant is better
My modification is: 2 cups cashew or almond milk (unsweetened) , 2 scoops of spiru-tein mix, 1 scoop (from spiru-tein can) of organic cocoa, 1 Tbl ground chia seeds with 2 20-oz cups ice. Tamp down ice and it gets heavy, stop when the 4 humps forms . Haven't tried with our new 7500 yet , but am anxious to. On, and don't try this with any other blender than a vitamin or it won't last long.

Ice milk at best, but not even close to ice cream
I followed this recipe and it's just not that good. It's pretty runny. It's not creamy at all. I've tried tried adding less ice, still runny. It freezes solid, so you need to use it right away or have a solid chunk of chocoate flaverord ice. It's basically icy, weak, chocolatate milk. I'm hoping to find a ice "creamier" recipe than this one.
