FAQ

What are the main features of the Ninja Creami ice cream maker?

Different settings and programmes: It offers multiple settings for making a variety of frozen treats, which include settings for ice cream, sorbet, gelato, smoothie bowls, and milkshakes. It also has a mix-in function that lets you customise your ice cream with other ingredients.

Creamify Technology: Using powerful blades and a unique creaming process, the Ninja Creami transforms solid frozen bases into creamy ice cream. It also blends down hard-frozen mixtures into smooth, scoopable textures with minimal air, ideal for gelato or rich ice cream.

Easy-to-follow freezing process: The process starts by freezing your base in one of the provided pint tubs for 24 hours. Once frozen, the pint is loaded into the machine, which blends the contents into a creamy consistency in just a few minutes.

Customisable texture: If the texture isn’t quite to your liking on the first spin, you can use the “re-spin” function to achieve a smoother, creamier texture without re-freezing.

Can I use dairy-free or alternative ingredients in the Ninja Ice Cream Maker?

Yes, you can make plant-based, dairy-free, low-sugar, and even keto-friendly frozen desserts with it.

How long does it take to make ice cream with the Ninja Ice Cream Maker?

Making ice cream with the Ninja Creami involves a two-part process: freezing the base and then processing it into ice cream. After preparing your ice cream base, you’ll need to freeze it for 24 hours in one of the included pint containers. This ensures that the mixture is fully solid and ready to be creamed. Once the base is completely frozen, insert it into the Ninja Creami, select your desired setting (ice cream, sorbet, etc.), and let the machine do its work.

The actual processing time takes about two to five minutes depending on the programme selected. If you’re not satisfied with the initial texture, you can use the “re-spin” function, which only takes an additional minute or two.
