1. Can I use regular milk instead of almond milk in the Sugar-Free Pumpkin Spice Chai Ice Cream?

Yes, you can substitute regular milk or any other nut milk if you prefer. Just keep in mind the nutritional content might change.

2. How can I make this recipe dairy-free?

To make it dairy-free, simply replace the heavy whipping cream with coconut cream or a dairy-free alternative.

3. Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of pumpkin purée in this recipe?

While fresh pumpkin can be used, it can be more difficult to get the same smooth consistency unless you prepare it thoroughly. Canned pumpkin purée is more convenient for this recipe.

4. How long can I store the Sugar-Free Pumpkin Spice Chai Ice Cream?

You can store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Just be sure to let it sit out to soften a bit before scooping.

5. What if I don’t have a Ninja Creami? Can I still make this ice cream?

Absolutely! You can still freeze the mixture in a regular container; just be sure to stir it every hour for the first few hours to help break up ice crystals until it sets to the desired consistency.
