2. Pour into a Creami pint container, filling to the line. Freeze upright for 6+ hours, ideally overnight.

Step 2: Spin It

1. Insert frozen pint into your Ninja SLUSHi or Creami Breeze.

2. Select the SLUSHi setting.

3. If the texture is crumbly or powdery, add 1–2 tablespoons of cold milk and re-spin.

Step 2: Adjust

Taste and adjust sweetness or vanilla flavor. Add more syrup or ice as needed for consistency.

Step 3: Garnish & Enjoy

Pour into a glass, top with whipped cream, and dust with cinnamon or vanilla powder for a café-style look.
