Tips for Perfect Chai Ice Cream

For ultra-creamy ice cream, consider adding ½ teaspoon of xanthan gum before freezing to maintain a smooth texture.
Chop any mix-ins into small pieces to ensure they distribute evenly and blend smoothly into the ice cream base.
Always place the pint container on a flat surface in your freezer to prevent it from freezing at an angle, which can affect texture.
If your ice cream turns out too hard, use the Re-spin function for a softer consistency.
Allow the frozen pint to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or run it under hot water briefly before spinning to prevent icy chunks.
To avoid a dome forming on top while freezing, try freezing without the lid or gently scrape off any excess before spinning to protect your blades.
