Ninja Creami Hot Cinnamon Spice Frozen Yogurt Recipe
Ninja Creami Hot Cinnamon Spice Frozen Yogurt is a bold and spicy dessert that combines the creaminess of Greek yogurt with the warmth of cinnamon and optional spicy red hot cinnamon candies. The yogurt base is flavored with ground cinnamon, honey, and vanilla, with the option to infuse cinnamon sticks for added depth. After freezing the mixture, the Ninja Creami transforms it into a smooth, frozen treat. For extra texture and spice, crushed cinnamon candies can be mixed in. Serve with a cinnamon garnish or pair with caramel sauce for a sweet contrast.

Notes
- Ensure Full Freezing: For the best texture, make sure the yogurt mixture is completely frozen for at least 24 hours before processing in the Ninja Creami.

- Infusion Time: If using cinnamon sticks, allow the mixture to sit for 10-15 minutes to infuse the flavors. Remove the sticks before freezing.
- Mix-Ins: For added texture, consider mixing in crushed red hot cinnamon candies after blending, but be mindful that this can make the texture slightly more gritty.
- Machine Usage: Follow the Ninja Creami manufacturer's instructions for best results and to avoid overloading the machine.
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store the frozen yogurt in an airtight container in the freezer. It may need a few minutes to soften slightly before serving.
