A little thought would find some economical and tasty solutions. My favorite:
NOTE: Since this is a weight gainer, use full fat for all ingredients.
1/2 cp cottage cheese 4% fat.
1 cp Vitamin D milk (could even use choco mik)
1 cp kefir or full-fat yogurt.
2tbsp natural peanut butter.
1scp whey.
Now, this this doesn't have so much carbs, but that is remedied.
Honey, hot cocoa mix, sugar, fruit, etc.
Blend it until smooth.
I used generic concepts (whey, rather than chocolate whey), to leave it open for flavor customization. Keep in mind, cottage cheese is pretty salty.
If the calories are still not making it, add olive oil because it's sufficiently bland enough to not alter the taste much.
I don't believe eating processed food or taking a weight gainer is essential. There is plenty of options available in the clean section.

I give almost identical advice to my friends that are trying to gain some weight.
2 scoops of low carb protien powder( i don't like the filler carbs that are in most real replacements
3 TBs of almond or cashew butter
8 oz of milk
8 oz of H20
2-3 times a day in addition to normal meals. This and heavy lifting usually works pretty well.
