About Ninja Creami
I’ve tried other ice cream makers. Ninja Creamy Above all, the best thing about Creami is that the texture is perfect every time. Creami makes it easy to make ice cream that is super healthy and has very few ingredients. For example, one of the best ice creams I’ve ever made is just fresh mango frozen in coconut milk.
The basics of usage are as follows: Ninja Creamy Make ice cream in the machine. First, fill the prepared container with your ingredients of choice and freeze for 24 hours. I usually keep a few flavors in the freezer ready to go. After freezing, choose from settings like ice cream, sorbet, gelato, mix-ins, etc. I always use the “ice cream” setting first. After the first spin, the ice cream will have a chalky texture. Add more liquid (milk or water) to the center of the container and “re-spin”. After the second spin, it is ready to eat. At this point, you can also add mix-ins and do a “mix-in” spin to mix them throughout the pint. It takes about 5-10 minutes to finish a pint of ice cream.

Remove the pint and check the ice cream. If the texture seems a little chalky (or not as creamy as you’d like), make a hole in the center of the ice cream and add a tablespoon of water or milk. Then use the “Re-spin” feature. Repeat until the texture is creamy.
