Q1: Can I make Chickpea Ice Cream with Cinnamon Roll Flavor without a Ninja Creami?

A1: Yes—if you don’t have a Ninja Creami, freeze the mixture in a shallow, airtight container. After it’s solid, pulse it briefly in a high-speed blender or food processor to break up the ice crystals, then refreeze and stir or re-blend once more before serving. Texture will be close, though the Creami’s shaving action is unique.

Q2: Is Chickpea Ice Cream with Cinnamon Roll Flavor (Ninja Creami) suitable for people watching carbs?

A2: This recipe can be low in added sugars if you use a low-carb sweetener like Lakanto syrup or stevia and a low-carb protein powder. Chickpeas do contribute carbohydrates and fiber, so it’s sensible to factor a serving into your daily carbs—fiber helps moderate net carbs for many people.

Q3: Can I use canned chickpeas for Chickpea Ice Cream with Cinnamon Roll Flavor (Ninja Creami)?

A3: Absolutely. Canned chickpeas are the quickest option—just drain and rinse well to remove excess sodium and any canned taste. If you cook chickpeas from dry, you’ll control texture and salt, but canned works beautifully.

Q5: Can I add mix-ins to Chickpea Ice Cream with Cinnamon Roll Flavor (Ninja Creami)?

A5: Yes. Add-ins like chopped nuts, a sugar-free cinnamon-sugar crumble, or a few dark chocolate chips work well. If you use chunky add-ins, fold them in after the first spin so the Creami doesn’t over-process them and they stay texturally interesting.
