Just bought the gadget and already have a tip... Before you freeze the ice cream, taste it. If you don't like the taste as a wet mix, it ain't gonna taste better frozen.... 😂
Great idea, but having made ice cream tons of times, the taste improves as the temp decreases or when it’s turned into ice cream. Quite a few times I thought, “wow! Not sweet enough”, added more sugar tried it again and thought it was just right. When I turned it and then ate it, it was too sweet.
@@W_center_ is this a twilight zone or wtf is going on here…?? Brainiac No1 advice to taste product before freezing it, brainiac No2 who no one ever spoke to says that he posted that advice and you, brainiac No3 taking side of those two Nobel price winners 👏👏👏 it’s fascinating what kind of diversity we have on our planet👍
I've had my ninja creami for about 8 months now. I got it after watching the pro home cook demonstrate it here on youtube. My wildest dreams of frozen confection have come true. However, every video I see here is all about making sweet treats. I live in Australia. One of the hottest and driest country's in the world, where Summer temps get over 100F on a normal day, every day. My ninja creami has been put to the test for making things other than ice cream or sorbets. One evening I experimented much to the delight of my dinner guests, in making frozen gazpacho soup. I made the base soup and mixed in fresh finely chopped capsicum, diced cucumber and tomatoes. I served it with fresh chilled prawns and an icy cold green salad. It was not only a hit, but everyone wanted to know how I made it. (several of my friends now own a ninja creami). I've also made frozen cucumber sorbet and avocado sorbet, which is fantastic with seafood. Not only do I make a range of icy savoury foods, I can give my guests a choice of what they'd like. I serve these as an entree and even main courses. There is nothing better than roasting through a stinking hot day and dealing with the heat of the night than to be cooled down with an icy soup. Love your tips. Cheers
So after watching your video, my husband returned the Creami to Target and bought a better machine with an extra pint container at Costco! Thank you! I am soooo loving this machine❤
I let mine sit out for 15 min, then run under hot water around the outside. Helps to break that "ice wall" and incorporate everything. Also helps prevent blade scratches and plastic chipping I've seen people have issues with!
Im not quite sure, but I think the cases where the blade shreds the inside of the pint, it is because they bought a 3rd party pint container. Once again I am not 100% sure on this.
I don't think this is a good idea at all. There are notched holes on the bottom so that your frozen block doesn't just spin freely when the blade hits it. By melting the outsides, you soften/melt the area at the bottom as well.
@@Beardedmoses1014I almost wonder if they didn't have it seated properly inside the container. Or maybe they forgot to take the lid off of the pint before putting it in. 🤷♂️
A really good classic custard base that I use is 4 egg yolks 83 grams sugar 230 ml cream 100 ml whole or 2% milk I vanilla bean Process the vanilla bean and add to the milk and cream Combine eggs and sugar in a bowl and whisk until smooth Scald milk and cream temper eggs once mixture has reached 170 Fahrenheit Cook the milk cream and eggs in a double boiler until thickened should occur once the mixture is at 180 Fahrenheit Remove from heat cool and process This yields almost exactly one pint and you can add a lot to this base to flavor it differently. Also feel free to add more or less cream as long as it’s 330 ml of liquid it will fit the container your texture and flavor will change with different liquids however.
Love those tips and learned a lot! Being a passionate Creami user myself, I can also contribute one tip that worked out real well for me: before putting them into the freezer I label my pints by writing the type of ice cream that’s in them on the lid with a dry erase pen. After the ice cream is spun and eaten, the dry erase writing wipes off easily with a damp cloth.
I cook professionally and this is common practice with everything and is a very good idea also make sure to date it as well as label the contents of the container. We typically use blue painters tape not every surface will wash off sharpie easily the tape is easy to remove after it’s use is done.
Hint, if you freeze the pints without the lid, it won't mound up in the center when it freezes. So you won't have to flatten it out before you spin it. Try it
Same here but I haven’t cracked open the box because I do a form of weight watchers from years ago and I’m having trouble finding recipes that fit my point based eating system. If a pint costs me half my points for the day, it’s a no go!
@@sk8lady IDK about points, but low calorie recipes are out there. Exercise4CheatMeals has some protein ice cream recipes that are only 100-350 calories per pint with great macros, similar to a protein bar.
I agree with you on the salt! I noticed that none of the recipes has salt. The first time I was putting together my recipe I felt the urge to add salt cuz I just think it helps to create that balance. My ice-cream was pretty good.
it's December 2023 and QVC just ran a deal where their ninja creami's were marked down to $159, plus new customers could use a promo code and get $20 off their purchase, and it included 4 extra pints. just an FYI, if you don't mind waiting, if that deal comes around again it's a steal!
I've seen a tip that if you add a bit of water or milk to it after the first spin that it fixes that crumbly situation. That way you aren't doing it 3-4 times, only 2
I just got my creami a few days ago, and it’s awesome! I actually didn’t find it to be as loud as people say, though I don’t stand by it as it mixes. My food processor is much louder, especially when I make nut butter.
She is just pointing out what Ninja has marketed. There is the Basic Pint for the 7-1 model. Then there is the Deluxe Pint for the 11-1 Deluxe model. It’s very important to note the difference when ordering the extra pints. If you have the 7-1, make sure you do not order the Deluxe Pint… like someone I know 😏
This is interesting because I get tummy pains Sometimes, almost feeling like I’m lactose but I’m vegan so it’s not a dairy thing. It doesn’t happen every time but I also don’t use Gum every time. I’m gonna test it out now and see if that’s what makes the difference.
Definitely keep an eye out for deals. Sam's Club had the standard model with three pint containers for $120 earlier this month as a special deal. It's loud, but I don't think it's any louder than a blender.
@@freebound24 → Just got mine today for that price. Amazon still wants $195 and even on facebook most people think they can get $150 for "as new" machines.
What I did was use a thermometer(The kind with wired probes you normally use for smokers, etc.) to find out what temperature my freezer was, and then I adjusted accordingly. They suggest -7 to 5°f I set my freezer to be -2. Then before I process I just run it under tap water for 60 seconds. Very rarely If ever have I had the crumbly texture.
This is actually a great idea for getting freezer temps. Most of them even have a magnet on the back so you can let it sit for the most accurate reading.
Thanks, Lisa…I love my Ninja Creami…I have probably have 4 or 5 mixes in the freezer calling my name! I eat them once or twice a week as a afternoon treat…but usually only eat half and re-freeze the other half…this not only controls my craving for ice cream but also as something soothing for hotter days…(my existing freezers were not freezing half gallons)
Do not spin 2-4 times! Leave out for 10-15mins if it's coming out crumbly. Never had it come out crumbly even on 1 spin. Have respun once when it was still a bit icy.
My deep freezer is so cold that I can make ice cream in 12 hours. Possibly less (haven't tried it). If it's longer than 24 hours I actually have to have it set out because it'll be too hard to even spin it.
Great video! I’m one week in of owning mine and completely happy with the purchase. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed by all of the ideas/creations out there. I’m taking your advice and going to focus on the recipe book that came with it. Then I’ll start playing around with it more. Thank you for putting this together!
I just ordered one from Costco the deluxe for $179 It comes with 3pints Do you think I need more And do you think five would be enough if I ordered two?

Oh my gosh! This video is awesome! I’ve been researching Ninja Creami & have been wanting one, came across your video &…..SUBSCRIBED! Love your tips, this video is so helpful & knew I’d find your past & future content enjoyable & helpful!!! Thank you!!! 😁
I am thinking of buying one. Thanks for your review. I’m bit confused. Bigger pint, how can you have a bigger point?😂. A point is a point it’s a measurement you can’t have a bigger pint!
I miss making my own ice cream. I quit after finding out how bad aluminum is for you. Most traditional ice cream makers have aluminum containers. So I quit. Until I just found out about this unit this evening. I'm so glad you mentioned Kohls as I was going to order on Amazon. With their sale and my coupon I got in the mail, I saved $48 over what the cost was on Amazon. And I'm getting the deluxe because I want more options. I also went ahead and ordered the extra pints. Love your videos!
I just purchased this machine on Amazon because I used gift cards that I earned. I only paid about $20 or so for mine since I used a bunch of gift cards I earned. I'm excited to get mine in the mail later next week.
Mahalo, Lisa, for all of your suggestions and tips. Much appreciated!. BTW: Keto Chow and the Ninja Creami Deluxe have changed my life! I have 2-4 scoops of ice cream for lunch everyday now and 2 more scoops for dessert after dinner. Keto Chow makes the healthiest and lowest carb ice cream there is and the choice of delicious flavors is fabulous, too. Give it a try if you haven't already!
I got my creami after getting gastric sleeve surgery. I was so bored with Breyers carb smart ice cream. Now I'll never buy ice cream again. This machine was sent straight from the gods!
I ordered one from Costco during a sale promotion but 3-4 days later received an email no stock left we need to cancel your order. I tried my Walmart but none to be found. I checked Walmart online and found one a fair drive from me in stock. I drove to it and there were none. So i ended up ordering direct from Ninja paying close to retail - they gave me 10% off for my first order. I did order the Breeze which came with 2 pints and ordered 2 spare pints as well. They are red hot.
Surprised that you did not use your instant pot yogurt as a base for the Creami.....I make your yogurt all of the time, so will have to try it when I get my Creami Deluxe.
After respin twice it’s fine but already quite soft. Can’t avoid it. It came from the freezer totally frozen cold but after the first round icecream plus twice respin it’s warmer and for my taste too soft. And respin is needed always. I have never had icecream ready after the first round. Therefore I wonder why the manual doesn’t just describe it this way right from the beginning. Otherwise all fine.
My blade got stuck in the machine, witch cause it to burn from the inside... was it because my base was too hard and I should've let it defrost a little bite ?
How well does it do with plant-based ingredients? That’s my concern as I am vegan and find most homemade plant-based ice cream bases aren’t the greatest texture.
Can't wait for a true semi pro version 2. They all use the same motor right now and all have weird ways of holding the blade that are impossible to clean. I want something closer to the Pacojet, just made in China and cheaper. I really hope they bring that. An expert mode with bladespeed and spin duration would be great ...
In my household we have been making ice cream in a compressed unit for years. Mix and pour in ingredients, and get ice cream in less than a half hour. We want ice cream now, not the next day. I bought this thinking it would be nice to have. All this thing does is lower a spinning blade and raise it back when its done, requiring several spins to get it right no matter what you make. After several spins smoothies still are lumpy. No matter what preset you touch it does the same thing, blade up and down. Too much theatrics, we took ours back. It sounds like a whiney loud handheld drill that needs recharging. When the blade retracts, the shaft brings in gunk at the top and hard to clean. You can get a compressed unit for less money than this thing, but to each his own. Great video! Enjoy your ice cream!! :)
I have the 24oz containers and its too much icream. If i dont finish icecream in container i can put it back in freezer correct? However once i take it out of freezer to eat do i need to start all over again and press the icecream button?
I was given a Ninja Creami as a nice Mother’s Day gift. I’m wondering if anyone else is having problems with the install flashing. I have read and reread all the quick guidance instructions. I plugged in the unit before putting the bowl in the unit. I’ve double checked my locks on the lid and the bowl and I’ve let my fruit sit out to thaw as suggested, I double and triple checked my Blade to make sure it was installed properly but no matter what once I select the sorbet Setting the install button starts flashing. it does not flash when I turn it on. It’s just after I select the sorbet. I have not tried any other options. has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts?
Love the video, but one thing that tickled me was when she said you could get bigger pints talking about the container. It reminded me of the question, what weighs more a pound of bricks or a pound of feather. A pint is a pint.
I have wanted one for awhile and am going to ask for one for Christmas! I just found out I can’t have any dairy at all so I want to make my own non dairy versions.
Right now, i don't have a freezer. So i was wondering if there's a gadget that can make ice cream (even if just a pint) that doesn't require a freezer or ice (like the old fashion ice cream makers) . I'm not very techno savy; so I'm having a difficult time searching. I'm up in years and haven't a clue how to research this properly 😂. Lol I'm still learning how to do talk to text and just recently realized that I could add emoji(s) !! Thanks for any advice. Love your channel
Try buying fresh frozen fruit, and put just enough of whatever type milk you use to get it mixed in a blender. It will be a soft ice cream consistency.
I have a great way to make ice cream with no machines, really easy too. You need a couple ziplock bags, kosher salt, and ice. Put your ice cream ingredients in one bag and zip it up well. In another ziplock bag, put a bunch of ice cubes and sprinkle a few tbspn of kosher salt over the ice. Put the bag of ingredients into the ice bag and, shake shake shake! Shake it all around for about 10 mins, and it turns into ice cream. You NEED to use Kosher salt. Do NOT use regular table salt or any other kind of salt. Also, sometimes I put the bag of ingredients into another ziplock bag just to make sure none of the salt leaks into the ingredients.
Do you have to refreeze and respin if you don’t eat it all? I want to be able to take the treats out and put them in freezer safe containers and keep my pints available to new bases if possible.
It isn't recommended. They recommend keeping your concoction in the container and NOT using the re-spin button. But personally, if it's a traditional ice cream then it's probably fine to move it to a different container, it's the sorbet or anything made with little fat content that's likely to refreeze into a solid ice cube again.
Great video, thanks. I followed the link in the description of this video and it took me to buy a Ninja Creami NC201 which seems like an old version now - is this correct? Now there are versions 299, 300, 301 but I can't find any of them on the internet because everyone is sold out.
😳 I love ice cream. My ultimate food weakness. If only I were to receive this as a gift! :) This is the appliance I could really use in my life. Imagine that.. custom ice cream HOWEVER you want. Ice cream companies are going to go bankrupt lol
Do you know what the new addition will be called or when it will be released. Was about to buy one but if they are updating it think I will wait a little while.
What is the best hand mixer to use pre-freezing? The frother is OK for pure liquids but in the event you have some fruit or other thicker ingredients it may not be optimal. Thoughts?
I used my ninja creami a couple times and haven’t had a prob. Tired this new recipe I found on YT it is a low fat content recipe but I followed it exactly the same way and ingredients as the video and they used the lite ice cream setting . My first time trying it came out great . Now when I do it it’s scratching the sides of my pint . I didn’t change my freezer setting but thinking it may be too hard . I did thaw it for 20 mins the first time and it was good . Thawed it again for the same time and it scraped the sides . My freezer is on 0 F which is between the recommended ninja settings . How hard / soft is your mixture before you process it if you don’t mind me asking ? Usually letting it sit 15-20 mins is just enough to start scraping and leveling the numb in the middle . I tried letting it thaw longer and had the same issue again . Any ideas ? I don’t think it’s the fat content bc the YY recipe works for that person and I’ve read in my creami fb group about people using just almond milk bases on lite iccream and i definitely used a thicker PB milk base compared to almond milk . The recipe is just 1 cup of milk 12 g pudding mix & I scoop of protein i process in my blender and freeze 24 hrs . I did call ninja and they are sending me a new machine for free but part of me doesn’t think the machine is broken or the issue . Maybe it is . I guess I’ll try the new one but if you have any suggestions on what it could be I’d appreciate it . Sorry for the long comment . Thanks !
It's called the Ninja Creami Breeze, it came out at the end of April (she probably recorded this video before it was released). It's a compact model (around the size of a single serve K-Cup coffee maker) that uses the same containers as the standard model and no outer container.

Hi I’m about to invest in the machine. Is it really that good? What about the gelato?
Thanks for review. Btw, your eye shadow looks so pretty when you talk abt
chocolate milk ice cream
Tempted to get one and start with some Chocolate Cashew milk, and maybe a chocolate pudding mix.
This is such a great and informative video. Thank you!
I bought mine at Walmart on clearance for $65!!!
Great tips, thank you so much for sharing! 👍🏻
I am thinking of buying one. Thanks for your review. I’m bit confused. Bigger pint, how can you have a bigger point?😂. A point is a point it’s a measurement you can’t have a bigger pint!
I miss making my own ice cream. I quit after finding out how bad aluminum is for you. Most traditional ice cream makers have aluminum containers. So I quit. Until I just found out about this unit this evening. I'm so glad you mentioned Kohls as I was going to order on Amazon. With their sale and my coupon I got in the mail, I saved $48 over what the cost was on Amazon. And I'm getting the deluxe because I want more options. I also went ahead and ordered the extra pints. Love your videos!
Mine arrived yesterday. Very useful video, many thanks.
Thank you! Great tips!!
I just purchased this machine on Amazon because I used gift cards that I earned. I only paid about $20 or so for mine since I used a bunch of gift cards I earned. I'm excited to get mine in the mail later next week.
Thank you so much for all of these tips!
Thank you, that was very helpful
I got the walmart one as well. I plan to upgrade to the deluxe one at some point.
Mahalo, Lisa, for all of your suggestions and tips. Much appreciated!.
BTW: Keto Chow and the Ninja Creami Deluxe have changed my life! I have 2-4 scoops of ice cream for lunch everyday now and 2 more scoops for dessert after dinner. Keto Chow makes the healthiest and lowest carb ice cream there is and the choice of delicious flavors is fabulous, too. Give it a try if you haven't already!
Avocado I sub for Greek yogurt, the avocado adds an awesome creamy texture.
That coaches oates, been trying to reduce cholesterol.
Larger pints??? :)
I got my creami after getting gastric sleeve surgery. I was so bored with Breyers carb smart ice cream. Now I'll never buy ice cream again. This machine was sent straight from the gods!
Good video! Great tips
I ordered one from Costco during a sale promotion but 3-4 days later received an email no stock left we need to cancel your order. I tried my Walmart but none to be found. I checked Walmart online and found one a fair drive from me in stock. I drove to it and there were none. So i ended up ordering direct from Ninja paying close to retail - they gave me 10% off for my first order. I did order the Breeze which came with 2 pints and ordered 2 spare pints as well. They are red hot.
That would be great for halo halo. Just freeze the milk base, process, then when finished add the fruits. 👍🏽
I’m so happy I got mine at Costco on sale in December! $99 I got 3 pints with it! 👍
such a good deal for that!!!!
Wow damn!!! I just paid $350 for mine only 2 pints
Surprised that you did not use your instant pot yogurt as a base for the Creami.....I make your yogurt all of the time, so will have to try it when I get my Creami Deluxe.
After respin twice it’s fine but already quite soft. Can’t avoid it. It came from the freezer totally frozen cold but after the first round icecream plus twice respin it’s warmer and for my taste too soft. And respin is needed always. I have never had icecream ready after the first round. Therefore I wonder why the manual doesn’t just describe it this way right from the beginning. Otherwise all fine.
Cottage cheese and Dates (Pitted) and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
I absolutely adore dates. Can you share how you make it?
My blade got stuck in the machine, witch cause it to burn from the inside... was it because my base was too hard and I should've let it defrost a little bite ?
Isn’t a pint a pint? How much bigger is a “larger” pint?
How well does it do with plant-based ingredients? That’s my concern as I am vegan and find most homemade plant-based ice cream bases aren’t the greatest texture.
I plan on following my beachbody coach and her vegan plant protein based recipes.
@@marisolbeigert6474 have you tried anything without Shakeology? I do not want any of that.
I use Almond Breeze Extra Creamy almond milk. It is creamier than the regular kind.
@@jodiweiss8705 wonder how it would do with homemade almond/coconut or cashew etc?
Use a fat of your choice. Dairy free yogurt, the cream from the top of cold canned coconut milk, regular or dairy free cottage or cream cheese
Can't wait for a true semi pro version 2. They all use the same motor right now and all have weird ways of holding the blade that are impossible to clean. I want something closer to the Pacojet, just made in China and cheaper. I really hope they bring that. An expert mode with bladespeed and spin duration would be great ...
interesting idea, but chance of that happening: close to zero
@@armuk It will, at least the lid.
When you say add a little salt to the recipes, how much is a little?
I've had parts for my creami deluxe for months. Out of use after three weeks. Wouldn't have bought if known how fragile it is.
In my household we have been making ice cream in a compressed unit for years. Mix and pour in ingredients, and get ice cream in less than a half hour. We want ice cream now, not the next day. I bought this thinking it would be nice to have. All this thing does is lower a spinning blade and raise it back when its done, requiring several spins to get it right no matter what you make. After several spins smoothies still are lumpy. No matter what preset you touch it does the same thing, blade up and down. Too much theatrics, we took ours back. It sounds like a whiney loud handheld drill that needs recharging. When the blade retracts, the shaft brings in gunk at the top and hard to clean. You can get a compressed unit for less money than this thing, but to each his own. Great video! Enjoy your ice cream!! :)
Got mine free at a tricky tray.... I have piña colada and strawberry freezing up now
I have the 24oz containers and its too much icream. If i dont finish icecream in container i can put it back in freezer correct? However once i take it out of freezer to eat do i need to start all over again and press the icecream button?
Good tips. I keep forgetting to label!
i got my creani delux for $74 from kohles, had a 35 % off and had some kohls cash
Classic Sorbets have pretty much 0 fat. It's a shortcoming of the Ninja. The Pacojet would give you a great texture.
Dose anyone no what to do when it keeps blinking when u put it in it blinks on the insulation button
How can a pint be bigger or smaller? Isn’t a pint a pint?
I never knew this thing existed until I saw it on Nick Dompierre’s RUclips channel.
2:51 where did you find this information from? I was going to get one but now I don’t know if I should wait or not if a new version is coming out soon
I was given a Ninja Creami as a nice Mother’s Day gift. I’m wondering if anyone else is having problems with the install flashing. I have read and reread all the quick guidance instructions. I plugged in the unit before putting the bowl in the unit. I’ve double checked my locks on the lid and the bowl and I’ve let my fruit sit out to thaw as suggested, I double and triple checked my Blade to make sure it was installed properly but no matter what once I select the sorbet Setting the install button starts flashing. it does not flash when I turn it on. It’s just after I select the sorbet. I have not tried any other options. has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts?
Love the video, but one thing that tickled me was when she said you could get bigger pints talking about the container. It reminded me of the question, what weighs more a pound of bricks or a pound of feather. A pint is a pint.
I have wanted one for awhile and am going to ask for one for Christmas! I just found out I can’t have any dairy at all so I want to make my own non dairy versions.
Right now, i don't have a freezer. So i was wondering if there's a gadget that can make ice cream (even if just a pint) that doesn't require a freezer or ice (like the old fashion ice cream makers) . I'm not very techno savy; so I'm having a difficult time searching. I'm up in years and haven't a clue how to research this properly 😂. Lol I'm still learning how to do talk to text and just recently realized that I could add emoji(s) !! Thanks for any advice. Love your channel
Try buying fresh frozen fruit, and put just enough of whatever type milk you use to get it mixed in a blender. It will be a soft ice cream consistency.
@@Cla-ev1xp wonderful idea! Thanks
Bruh what
I have a great way to make ice cream with no machines, really easy too. You need a couple ziplock bags, kosher salt, and ice. Put your ice cream ingredients in one bag and zip it up well. In another ziplock bag, put a bunch of ice cubes and sprinkle a few tbspn of kosher salt over the ice. Put the bag of ingredients into the ice bag and, shake shake shake! Shake it all around for about 10 mins, and it turns into ice cream.
You NEED to use Kosher salt. Do NOT use regular table salt or any other kind of salt.
Also, sometimes I put the bag of ingredients into another ziplock bag just to make sure none of the salt leaks into the ingredients.
Is it sold at Costco or sams?
So what’s the difference between this and a blender? Just found out about this thingy
No disrespect to anyone who loves their Ninja Creami, but I much prefer my Cuisinart ice cream maker. It's also about $200 cheaper.
Good tips. Thanks. Not that I hv this gadget nor do I make ice cream or even eat it. I do hv ice cream, but very very rarely. Maybe more drg summer🤔
@dr.christopherjohnson4356 thanks, but I don't understand 🤔
It's only $119 right now at Sam's Club.
I bought mine off of Facebook marketplace! Super cheap with extra containers!
Do you have to refreeze and respin if you don’t eat it all? I want to be able to take the treats out and put them in freezer safe containers and keep my pints available to new bases if possible.
It isn't recommended. They recommend keeping your concoction in the container and NOT using the re-spin button. But personally, if it's a traditional ice cream then it's probably fine to move it to a different container, it's the sorbet or anything made with little fat content that's likely to refreeze into a solid ice cube again.
Great video, thanks. I followed the link in the description of this video and it took me to buy a Ninja Creami NC201 which seems like an old version now - is this correct? Now there are versions 299, 300, 301 but I can't find any of them on the internet because everyone is sold out.
“Larger pints” 🥴🤣
Pint is a pint is a pint. There can't be larger pints, if it is larger than a pint it is not a pint.
I just made mine for the first time on tbe ice cream setting but it tastes icy? What did I do wrong ?
Add a splash of liquid and respin. Or leave on counter ten minutes before spinning.
I've looked at Costco & Sam's Club & never seen it available there
I own a shave ice shop and all we do set the freezer to its hottest setting which on ours is 10 degrees and they come out perfect everytime.
Anything with a thick base works really well. Imma have to agree with that.
😳 I love ice cream. My ultimate food weakness. If only I were to receive this as a gift! :)
This is the appliance I could really use in my life. Imagine that.. custom ice cream HOWEVER you want. Ice cream companies are going to go bankrupt lol
Do you know what the new addition will be called or when it will be released. Was about to buy one but if they are updating it think I will wait a little while.
TRYING to get that Deluxe version , good luck to find one in stock anywhere for over a month now☹
How does a pint get bigger? By definition, it is 16 us fluid ounces.
Hi!! Have you tried making bingsu in it?? I'd love to try this out.
The gelato in the cookbook is NOT gelato. Gelato is supposed to be mostly/all milk but there is way more cream than milk in the gelato
What is the best hand mixer to use pre-freezing? The frother is OK for pure liquids but in the event you have some fruit or other thicker ingredients it may not be optimal. Thoughts?
I used my ninja creami a couple times and haven’t had a prob. Tired this new recipe I found on YT it is a low fat content recipe but I followed it exactly the same way and ingredients as the video and they used the lite ice cream setting . My first time trying it came out great . Now when I do it it’s scratching the sides of my pint . I didn’t change my freezer setting but thinking it may be too hard . I did thaw it for 20 mins the first time and it was good . Thawed it again for the same time and it scraped the sides . My freezer is on 0 F which is between the recommended ninja settings .
How hard / soft is your mixture before you process it if you don’t mind me asking ? Usually letting it sit 15-20 mins is just enough to start scraping and leveling the numb in the middle . I tried letting it thaw longer and had the same issue again . Any ideas ? I don’t think it’s the fat content bc the YY recipe works for that person and I’ve read in my creami fb group about people using just almond milk bases on lite iccream and i definitely used a thicker PB milk base compared to almond milk . The recipe is just 1 cup of milk 12 g pudding mix & I scoop of protein i process in my blender and freeze 24 hrs .
I did call ninja and they are sending me a new machine for free but part of me doesn’t think the machine is broken or the issue . Maybe it is . I guess I’ll try the new one but if you have any suggestions on what it could be I’d appreciate it . Sorry for the long comment . Thanks !
if it is bigger than a pint, it isn't a pint anymore
2:50 how do u know? when is it coming out?
It's called the Ninja Creami Breeze, it came out at the end of April (she probably recorded this video before it was released). It's a compact model (around the size of a single serve K-Cup coffee maker) that uses the same containers as the standard model and no outer container.
@@emerje0 thank u ❤️
Is it loader than a Vitamix?
