2 cups	480 ml	whole milk
1 cup	240 ml	heavy cream
3/4 cup	180 ml	honey or maple syrup (as a sugar substitute)
1/3 cup	80 ml	key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
1 teaspoon	5 ml	vanilla extract
1 tablespoon	15 ml	key lime zest
3/4 cup	180 ml	crushed graham crackers (for mix-ins)

Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, honey (or maple syrup), key lime juice, vanilla extract, and key lime zest until well combined.
Freeze the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it does not exceed the max fill line. Freeze for 24 hours.
Churn in Ninja Creami: After freezing, remove the pint from the freezer and place it in the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Attach the lid and lock it into the machine. Select the "Gelato" setting and start the machine.
Check the Texture: Once the initial cycle is complete, check the texture of the ice cream. If it appears a bit crumbly, use the re-spin function to achieve a creamier consistency.
Add Your Mix-Ins: Once the gelato is ready, create a tunnel in the center of the spun gelato. Add about 1/4 cup of crushed graham crackers into this tunnel.
Use the Mix-In Setting: Select the "Mix-In" setting on the Ninja Creami. This will gently incorporate your mix-ins into the gelato without over-processing them.
Serve: Scoop the gelato into bowls and enjoy!
