FAQs
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, whole milk is best for creaminess, but you can use any milk (including plant-based alternatives), though the texture may vary slightly.
What if I don’t have a Ninja Creami machine?
This recipe is designed for the Ninja Creami, but you can try freezing the mixture in a regular container and stirring every 30 minutes until frozen to mimic the texture.

Notes
- For best results, ensure the mixture is frozen on a level surface to avoid uneven freezing.

- Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste for a milder or stronger cinnamon flavor.
- Use whole milk or a milk alternative depending on dietary preferences, but this may affect texture.
