If you’re a big dessert person, you’re probably passionate about ice cream but maybe not as passionate about going through the legwork of making your own.

Ninja Creami Ice Cream Machine is an investment for sure, regularly priced over $200, but the selling point is how it makes ice cream prep an easy 5-minute task. Although most ice cream-making processes require 24 hours to freeze, buyers believe this item is absolutely worth the splurge. Can you really put a price on quality ice cream perfection?!

Better yet, the Ninja Creami is on sale on Walmart right now!

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:

    Does anyone have an issue with the ice cream getting stuck between the layers of the mixing lid? Like in with the springs and mechanisms? It happens every time I use it and it’s such a pain to try to clean out 😩
