Ninja Creami Keto Chai Latte Ice Cream
Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream 🥛
1 cup unsweetened almond milk 🥥
1/2 cup powdered erythritol 🍬
2 chai tea bags ☕
1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 🌰
1/4 tsp ground ginger 🍂
1/4 tsp ground cardamom 🌿
1/4 tsp ground cloves 🌸
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 🌰
A pinch of salt 🧂
Directions
- Brew the chai: In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and steep the chai tea bags in the hot almond milk for 5-10 minutes, depending on how strong you want the chai flavor. Remove the tea bags and let the mixture cool.
- Combine liquids: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and cooled chai-infused almond milk until well combined.
- Sweeten it up: Add the powdered erythritol to the bowl. Whisk until it is fully dissolved, creating a smooth, sweet mixture.
- Add the spices: Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until everything is thoroughly incorporated.
- Prepare to chill: Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Make sure not to fill past the max fill line. Seal the container with its lid.
- Freeze: Place the container in the freezer for at least 24 hours to allow the mixture to solidify completely.
- Process: Once frozen, remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Insert the container into the Ninja Creami machine and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically using the “Ice Cream” setting.
- Serve: Scoop the creamy, keto chai latte ice cream into bowls or cones. Enjoy immediately!

The Allure of Chai Spices 🌿
Chai spices are not only delicious but also come with numerous health benefits. Cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and ability to aid digestion. These spices create a warm and inviting flavor profile that pairs beautifully with the creamy ice cream base.
Tips for Perfect Keto Ice Cream 🍦
- Sweetener Substitution: If you prefer, you can use other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit sweetener or stevia. Adjust the amount to suit your taste.
- Creaminess Boost: Adding a tablespoon of MCT oil or avocado oil to the mixture can enhance the creaminess and improve the texture of your ice cream.
- Storage: Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. If it becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
Serving Suggestions 🍨
Enhance your keto chai latte ice cream experience with:
- Whipped Cream: Top with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream for extra richness.
- Chai Spice Sprinkle: Dust a little extra chai spice mix on top for an aromatic finish.
