Most recipes use cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, heavy cream, whole milk, and other flavors. One great thing about these ice cream makers is you can add, omit, and swap most ingredients you’d like to fit your dietary needs. Whether vegan, keto, or lactose intolerant, the Ninja Creami works with you!
There are tons of different settings, including ice cream, sorbet, smoothie bowl, lite ice cream, gelato, milkshake, and mix-in. If your ice cream isn’t creamy enough, these settings will help bled it to perfection.
I’m currently in my Ninja Creami era! 🍨
This has been my first summer owning a Ninja Creami, and I am loving it! I enjoy making high-protein ice cream using Fairlife protein shakes as a base and low-sugar add-ins. Overall the Creami is easy to use, makes wonderful ice cream, is easy to clean, and you can remix your leftovers so that they are fluffy and creamy again.
My tip is to buy extra pint containers and always have some prepped in the freezer when you are in the mood to mix up some homemade ice cream.
My Hip sidekick Angela also loves her Ninja Creami, and here’s why:
“I know several Hip team members have the fancy Wynter Ice Cream Machine, but a couple of years ago I got the Ninja Creami, it’s so awesome! It’s seriously the easiest thing ever to use. You can even throw in watermelon and mash it down, and after it’s frozen, make a one-ingredient sorbet.”
Here are 3 of my favorite Ninja Creami recipe creations and 7 others for even more inspiration:
