FAQs

Can I put frozen strawberries in my Ninja creami? ›

If you are making this recipe outside of strawberry season, you can still make this sweet treat with frozen fruit – just thaw it out first so you can add it to the mixture.

Freezing is crucial: It's paramount that the base is completely frozen into a solid block for the Ninja Creami to work effectively. Texture is key: The 24-hour freeze time results in smaller ice crystals and enhances the dessert's creaminess. For the most creamy ice cream and smoothest sorbet, this matters!

Due to high demand, the Ninja Creami is frequently out-of-stock across online retailers.

A Quick Fix for The Powdery Problem in Your Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker. After your first spin, sometimes you open it and find that your ice cream is crumbly or powdery. Don't stop now. Just add a tablespoon or two of liquid and spin on respin.

Can I use frozen fruit in the Ninja Creami? Yes, you can. But, frozen fruit either needs to be thawed out before using, blended with the other ingredients, or have a liquid, like dairy added to the pint to fill in all of the gaps.

You'll need berries – I chose to use frozen berries, but you can also use fresh ones. Because your CREAMi is delicate, I would slice up any big frozen berries (like strawberries). I filled up my Ninja CREAMI Breeze container with the frozen berry mix and then added water to get it up to the max fill line.

Because the thick blades of the Creami can't fully reach the edges or bottom of the pint containers, the appliance leaves sections of totally unmixed, frozen base. So even if the blended parts are impressively smooth, depending on how carefully you scoop, you're likely to get some crunchy, icy bits in your bowl.

According to the Ninja Creami recipe pamphlet, the base comes out crumbly when it's too cold. The re-spin function was designed to address this. Simply re-install the pint and spin it again.

Yes, you can refreeze Ninja Creami ice cream. Once you have churned your mixture into a delicious, creamy texture, you may have some left over. Don't worry, you can save as little as 1/4 of a pint to spin again and enjoy later.

The Ninja Creami Deluxe version expands upon the original Ninja Creami, which offers seven functions (ice cream, sorbet, lite ice cream, gelato, milkshake, smoothie bowl, and mix-in) while the Deluxe offers 11 (it adds slushy, Italian ice, frozen drink, Creamiccino, and frozen yogurt to the mix).

What is the newest Ninja Creami model? ›

The newly launched Ninja Creami Deluxe is not only bigger in capacity than the standard version of this best ice cream maker but also has new technology to make your mixes creamier and more delectable.

The Ninja CREAMi first came out in July of 2021, but once again, the power of TikTok has made this gadget fly off the shelves this year. The regular price is $229.99, but I was able to score one on Amazon for $159.99 before they all sold out.

The Complaint alleges the defects in the Ninja blenders are caused by the stacked blade assembly not locking in place, and it can fall out of the pitcher during use, putting the user at risk of injuries requiring medical attention.

For even creamier and thicker Ninja Creami protein ice cream, use a thickener to achieve the desired creamy texture. Here are some thickeners you can add: Instant Pudding: Adding a little bit of instant pudding mix helps give the protein ice cream a creamier and thicker texture and adds a boost of flavor.

While the upfront cost of an at-home ice cream maker -- the Creami will run you about $180 -- is certainly a factor, making ice cream yourself from simple and relatively inexpensive ingredients like cream, milk, sugar and eggs will likely save you money over time.

If you're using frozen strawberries, you can use either whole or pre-sliced berries. Pre-sliced are easier to blend, but most blenders can handle whole berries—just make sure to blend long enough to achieve a smooth consistency. Liquid: Using fruit juice as the liquid in your smoothie gives it an extra fruity flavor.

The food processor helps get berries chopped quite small. Just don't go too far, or you'll be left with sorbet! One note: If you process the frozen berries too much, they'll become more like a smoothie or sorbet.

Fruit: Feel free to use your fruit of choice. Some great options are lemon, orange, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and pineapple. Water: Use filtered water for ice cubes. Also, for a higher chance of your ice cubes being clear once frozen, boil the water and let it cool.
