FAQs
Can I use a different ice cream flavor?
Vanilla ice cream is best for replicating the classic Twisted Frosty taste, but you can experiment with chocolate or coffee ice cream for a richer flavor.
What if I don’t have malted milk powder?
If malted milk powder isn’t available, you can omit it or replace it with a tablespoon of powdered milk or a bit of extra Nesquik powder, though the malt flavor will be less pronounced.
