Ninja Creami Recipes

I was not prepared for how much I would love making ice cream in my Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker. I was COMPLETELY skeptical at first.

Like, how was this machine going to turn rock solid frozen liquid into creamy delicious ice cream without it being churned?! Technology has come so far since the days of making ice cream with rock salt at school LOL.

About the Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker

The Ninja Creami Ice Cream maker is unlike traditional ice cream makers. With tradition ice cream makers you make the ice cream base, then churn it and then add it to the freezer. The Ninja Creami is basically the opposite.

To make ice cream with your Ninja Creami maker, first you must make your ice cream base. You can use traditional ice cream recipes, make protein ice cream, or basically just freeze fruit and some liquid.

Then personally I like to blend my base in my Ninja Professional Blender (the one that you can make smoothies with). Then you add the ice cream base to the special Ninja Creami Pints, place the lid on and let them freeze.

I bought an extra 4 pack of pints because I was getting tired of only being able to make 1 pint of ice cream a day. I did take about 2 weeks to get here, but they were cheaper than the 2 pack price.

Make sure to not fill them over the fill line. If you do this the machine might not work properly. Ice cream sometime goes through the blade portion and up into your machine. And then washing it is a pain.

Also, it’s very import to freeze your ice cream base on a flat surface. Don’t put it side ways or at an angle in the freezer.

Their directions are to freeze for at least 24 hours, but I’ve only frozen them for 18 hours and it’s still worked. It’s up to you to choose if you want to risk freezing it less.

After they’d been frozen completely remove the lid. In most cases you’ll see a slight “hump” or bump in the middle of the ice cream. This is fine and nothing to worry about.

Then you’ll transfer the ice cream to the holder, insert the blade into the special machine lid, and then place the lid on.

Next transfer the holder into the machine and locking it in place. Then you’ll select either the ice cream or “lite ice cream” aka soft serve function. You’ll let it “spin.” Basically this is the process where it turns into ice cream.

If it’s powdery after the first spin, then you select the function “spin again.”

Once it’s at your desired texture you have the option to add in “mix ins.” If you want chocolate chips, nuts, Oreos, sprinkles, etc – this is where you’d add those. You just create a 1 inch hole in the ice cream, add the mix ins and then select the “mix in” setting.

Let it spin and then you’re ready to eat.

If you’re not going to eat all of the ice cream in one sitting be sure to smooth out the ice cream, replace the lid and store it on a flat surface in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat the rest, simply run the ice cream setting on the Ninja Creami and you’ll have delicious ice cream once again.
