Notes
Note on Leftovers: This recipe either makes 1 very large serving or 2 medium size servings. If you don't eat the whole pint in one sitting, you can re-freeze it and then re-spin it in the Ninja Creami another time. It may start to get freezer burnt over time though, so try to enjoy it within 1 month.
