I found a delicious store-bought dairy-free Chai flavored ice cream to make these come together super fast. If you’d like to make your own, I’m dying to try Minimalist Baker’s Vegan Chai Ice Cream – if you beat me to it, let me know how it is! For a dairy version, this traditional chai ice cream also looks good!
