Ice cream lovers, get ready for the latest addition to your kitchen — the Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker. This innovative machine allows you to create homemade creamy ice cream, gelato, sorbets, milkshakes, and even smoothie bowls with ease.

What is a Ninja CREAMi?

The Ninja CREAMi is a small kitchen appliance that allows you to make delicious and healthy frozen desserts in minutes. With its powerful dual motors and durable blades, the CREAMi can easily blend frozen fruits, vegetables and other ingredients into a smooth and creamy texture. 

You can even make some of these sugar-free Starbucks drinks with the Ninja CREAMi.

Ninja Kitchen calls this their, “creamify technology” where the dual drive motors apply downward pressure and spin the Creamerizer Paddle (blade). The paddle finely shaves the frozen concoction and churns the ice particles into a delicious frozen treat.

Whether you're looking to make a traditional ice cream, sorbet, or frozen cocktails, the Ninja CREAMi is a versatile tool that can help you achieve this. No need for preservatives or additives like in traditional recipes.

How to use a Ninja CREAMi?

The premise of a Ninja CREAMi is that you start with an ice cream base, which can be as simple as a ready-to-drink protein shake or as complex as following a gelato recipe that requires cooking.

You then put this base into the Ninja CREAMi pint container with a lid and then freeze it for 24 hours. After that, remove the lid, place the pint into the pint hold, place the paddle into the lid, and secure it tightly.

After that, put the pint holder into the CREAMi and turn it until it locks into place. Next, select the desired option (ice cream, gelato, milkshake, etc). If after one spin your base isn’t at the desired consistency you can select the “re-spin” function. 

Once the mixture is at the desired consistency, you can either consume it, or you can make a hole and add any toppings or mixes you desire. Select the “+ mix-in” button, let it run, and get ready to enjoy.

    Hi - I’ve just been gifted a Ninja Creami Deluxe. Wanting to know if I can make my own syrups to use for sorbet etc., a lot of us in my family have an intolerance to sulphites and a lot of syrup bases have this in them, hence my need to try out my own. I’d love to be able to make a lemon sorbet or watermelon - what do you think?? Many thanks

      You can make your own simple syrup recipes and then add in your own flavors and use these in place of sweeteners.
