To avoid having your box come like that in the future, when you are checking out there is an option you check to have it come ships in an Amazon box. You scroll down to the bottom where, if it says it’s ship it’s own Packaging you have to select to have it “ship In Amazon packaging”. It doesn’t cost you anything extra to do that. I hope this helps for the future.
@@purplemav I didn’t see anything but a wrong word in there… at least your comment was completely comprehensible. I’ve read a few comments where I couldn’t even tell what they wanted to communicate.
I love my Ninja Creami. I’ve only used it with Keto Chow to make ice cream, but I love that I can have a pint of ice cream for dinner without feeling guilty.
Hi Steve. Thanks for the review. I just bought one at Kohl’s on sale with my 30% off coupon, some Kohl’s cash and an extra coupon. All in was $116. I am not a big sweets eater but will try it out. If not, back to Kohls it goes.
@@ladyfran1960 I too bought my Ninja Creami ice cream maker from Kohl's for that same price. By the time I used all my coupons, Kohl's cash and opened up the Kohl's credit card for additional 30% off (just to get the Ninja Creami) LoL, it ended up being $116. I'm so happy with it! If you haven't already try it with keto chow, soooo easy to make. My favorite flavors so far are the Keto Chow Caramel macchiato (which is great cause it's caffeine free) the chocolate and the chocolate toffee flavors. Omgosh, they're to die for. It was totally worth the price!! My Cuisinart ice cream maker is no longer in commission and I've put it in storage. LoL. There's no comparison to the Ninja Creami.
hate when they ship things like that and it's always the most expensive and delicate items. glad yours wasn't damaged. LOVED Colton's reaction, more please!
I appreciate all the time, effort, and testing you put into your reviews, Steve. I also appreciate the way you give pros and cons, and take different tastes and lifestyles into account. Very professional! 👏 Finally, Colton's taste test clip was adorable! 😍👌

I love making milkshakes with mine. I'll make a pint, eat about half. Then the next time I'll have a milkshake. I've had mine for 2 months and I still love it.
I just watched this again so I could share it on a forum I belong to. I ordered my Creami about 2 years ago, refurbished for $100. on Woot and I have used it almost daily. I am an ice cream person and use Keto Chow as a meal in the afternoon. So having ice cream at that time is something I look forward to. Keto Chow and the Ninja Creami is the perfect combination keeping me on track. Thank you for your review, Steve!
Thanks for the thorough testing. I'll absolutely be trying your lemon-sour cream recipe. I am enjoying my Ninja Creami. Definitely look for coupons/promos. You can pretty much always get 20% off at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Since Keto Chow is a meal in itself, I've occasionally had "ice cream" for dinner; especially after a long day/shift when all I want are my PJs and something comforting.
I got one when they first came out as well. Love the thing. I have another larger ice cream maker but i like this because i don’t have such a huge bowl to take up freezer space. Plus, i can make as many different flavors as i have pints containers. Another mention is you can buy extra parts and pint containers (blades, blending lids, etc) which makes it very handy. It is very loud i agree. For me and my husband, ice cream (sorbet etc) is the only treat we eat and we eat a small amount nightly. So when comparing the 6.00 per pint we were paying, i think it will come in paying for itself quickly for us. Thanks for the review. Now i need to get the ingredients for your sherbet. I love lemon yummy!!! If anyone drinks sprite (i do the zero sugar in this drink), try making a sorbet (any fruit flavor but my favorite is pineapple) and adding it to glass and mixing in the sprite. It is SUPER! We drink this as our nightly treat more than ice cream it seems. So yummy 🤤
Awesome video. I love Ninja products. Ninja should pay you for your work! 😉 but, what really makes your videos stand out is your candid assessment, recommendations, experimentations, and guest appearances from family members. Your grandson is adorable.
I don't think this would be for me as I'm happy with my current frozen dessert recipe--frozen berries, allulose and cream in my blender. It takes less than 5 minutes and satisfies that craving for a frozen treat.
@@ShineOn.. I just eyeball it, but it's probably about a cup of frozen strawberries, 1/4-cup whipping cream and 3-4tbs of powdered allulose. Blend until smooth. For a bit icier texture, I sometimes use coconut milk instead of the cream.
Ice Cream was one of the foods I dearly missed when going Keto. I did buy the Ninja Creami. I agree it is a little pricey, but I knew I would be using it often. There are two things I wish this machine did. 1) I wish the containers were a little larger. That way I could make ice cream ahead of time, enough for a few nights for 2 people. 2) I wish you didn't have to freeze the container ingredients overnight. If I want ice cream, I want it now(not liking you have to think ahead, LOL!) But overall, I am happy with it. I have 2 pints in the freezer right now, made with fresh strawberries and coconut milk. I have also made Rocky Road(using sugarfree marshmallows) Lemon Sorbet, Pecan Praline(using extract, and pecans as mix ins), and chocolate. I haven't tried it with Keto Chow. In fact I haven't even tried Keo Chow yet. Anyways, thanks Steve for another great video. And happy belated Anniversary!
They sell the pint containers and lids on ninja website. Or I just prepare the ice cream ahead of time and transfer it to another Rubbermaid container that is freezer safe. When you are ready to scoop it out you do have to let it thaw a bit because it is hard but it frees up your pint containers cheaper😁. I find I have to let all the brands of keto ice cream thaw a bit so it is ok with me. Just a thought 👍🏻
Glad to get your review and will definitely need to try out your lemon sherbet recipe! You also might have convinced me to finally buy some allulose! I couldn't wait and bought a creami a few weeks ago and am VERY impressed! I had a cuisinart ice cream maker I was using with keto chow previously. My wife and I have keto chow ice cream for dinner 3 or 4 nights a week! My standard recipe is 1/2 stick of butter, 1 scoop keto chow, and water to fill up to 1 pint, about 1.5 cups. 1 light ice cream spin and 2 re-spins. My wife like soft serve so I spin hers first and then put the pint in some warm water for a few minutes while mine spins, and then one more re-spin for her and its great!... I tried lowering the fat some for a PSMF day to see how it turns out, 1TBSP of avocado oil, the taste difference was very slight from the butter. We Really love it!
My box came and opened like yours. I absolutely love it! I like the sorbet for my granddaughter along with all my keto flavors. Tip: Make sure you use UNSALTED butter or it will be WAY to salty. Had to throw that batch away.
Yep! It’s worth $200 to me! The best invention Ninja came up with! LOL! For anything, there should a class action suit brought against Ninja for making people hooked on making ice cream with the bomb invention! And I use greek yogurt to make ice cream bcuz it doesn’t have mouth coating.
I bought a Creami but haven't quite learned the best recipe for a keto ice cream. Btw, I've found the best way to combat the 'powder effect' is to let the ice cream warm for 15-20mins. If I leave it on the countertop for 20mins and THEN put it through the "ice cream" cycle, it comes out creamy the first time
@@SeriousKeto BARELY! I did Ketochow like you, but only butter with water. I liked the texture and it tasted pretty decent. But I noticed that I had to spin/respin it several times and (as a former chemist) I got the feeling it was the temp was still too low to allow the fats to turn creamy. So I let it sit and didn't have to churn it as much. I'm so glad you got a unit though cause I'm looking for people doing experiments to learn from. I'm hoping to develop a good keto base custard I can add cocoa, extracts to in order to create ice creams that compete with Rebel/Halo Top
You're keto chow ice cream recipe is pretty much where I ended up except I haven't added any allulose yet. I'll pick some up today. Great point on removing the blade for cleaning and also wiping down the spindle.
So excited to start seeing different recipes and variations start coming out for the Creami! One of my favorites so far is Orange Cream Dream. 1 Packet Orange Cream Keto Chow 4tbsp Butter 1tbps sweetner (better mouthfeel) 3 short squirts of Mio Orange Cream (tastes like an old school Push Up from the ice cream truck) Some whipped cream on top. Also, adding a tbsp of dark chocolate powder to any chocolate flavor helps it out. The 24hr prep time does suck, but like anything keto, the best flavor comes from experimentation and preparation. The "Science Project spaghetti noodles" blows miracle, fathead, and kelp noodles out of the water, but it's a pain to make too. After losing almost 40lbs though, I'll put in the extra prep and cleanup work at the sink, it's all just extra calories burned for me now.
The one with water instead of cream tasted better because the cream/milk dulls the flavors of your ingredients. I found this out by accident in 1982 working at a restaurant, and we ran out of milk.
I gave in when I got my 30% kohl’s coupon and $20 kohl’s cash. Only used it a couple times so far, but it is fantastic with the Keto Chow. Considering how much keto ice cream costs, I think it was worth it to have the ability to customize my own healthy keto dessert. Both my husband and I are keto, so perfect to split a pint! Also, loved seeing Colton. (I have a son named Colton who just turned 27). 🤗
I love my Ninja Creami. My ice cream maker was on its last leg so it was a good time to get a new one. It's fun to have an ice cream cone again with Enlighten cones (once in awhile). I'm definitely going to try your lemon sour cream, that sounds wonderful.
VERY helpful review! I love how you describe all of the texture and level of sweetness. I appreciate that you describe which kind of person might like which type of taste that you're tasting. It's also very helpful that you describe who may or may not like this product depending on what their lifestyle preferences are. Thank you so much. ♥
really love your review of this one. waited a couple days to watch this review, thought it would be way too expensive and not worth the trouble, I like IC, but not everyday. This does have me thinking about getting it as a gift to myself in the future. Not big on IC in the winter. and I agree with another comment Keto IC is costly and to be honest, still not crazy about all the ingredients, this machine can help me control what goes into it--thanks again for another honest and real review
Try mixing your ice cream as usual - no fat --and freeze add your fat (full whipping cream is my favorite) to the product just before putting it thru the creami. I use the milk shake function. Works great and I love it.
I'd be interested to see how this compares to the "food processor" ice-cream technique. After you make your ice-cream mix, you put it in ice cube trays (or whatever as long as it's not just one big lump, but is at least several smaller lumps). Then you take the desired amount of cubes of ice-cream and put them through the food processor. I haven't tried it, but a few web sites have said it's a great alternative to an ice-cram machine.
@@bgueberdenteich5206 Cuisinart ICE-21PK Frozen Yogurt - Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker, Pink. On Amazon $70. Comes in different colors. It's this year's version. Super simple. Keep the bowl in the freezer all the time. Then it takes12 minutes to Keto Chow Ice Cream. I use mostly coconut milk and a little half and half.
I am on an exclusively Keto Chow diet and mine arrives next week. I can't wait! Ice cream for every meal!!!! I might splurge one day and put some high key cookies in too, I bet they crumble nicely in there.
If doing a follow-up, maybe you could go over the settings a bit more. Overall, the review itself was great. You're the only reviewer I've cared to watch regarding this product. But I'm still unclear on the nuances or differences between "Ice Cream" and "Light Ice Cream"... Is "light" only a feature when using low-fat ingredients etc.?
Cutest little taste tester!!! Great video and review. Love my ninja creami. I also make ice cream using Maria Emmerich egg pudding recipe for higher protein days. 😋
Thank you for giving this great review. It is all over the keto chow community it’s where they will have their shake as ice cream, so it’s a meal replacement, if you so choose. I too thought the price seemed a bit high. Have not yet jumped on the wagon.
Yes. I have four pints in the freezer right now. My husband loves it and it's so much better for him than the ice cream he used to eat. I use Keto Chow, 1/4 cup cream, 1/4 cup allulose, then water to the pint mark. Chocolate Keto Chow gets an extra tablespoon of cocoa. I use Catalina Crunch cookies and cereal for the add-ins. We have it for lunch every day!
I just got mine a couple of weeks ago and love it. I use the recipes provided as a base and then do my own flavors and so far I am very happy with the purchase. You did say something about re-spinning after add ins. To this point the add ins have not gotten chopped up during this process for me. I use Lilly chocolate chips. My guess is that they are so hard from being frozen in the freezer that the blade isn't sharp enough to slice through them. So re-spinning after add ins doesn't seem to be a problem. Can't speak for other types of add ins yet.
Steve, enjoyed your review of the Ninja Creami. I have purchased one and have used almost every day since, using keto chow as the base. I would agree on the assessment of the cost, probably won’t be a return on investment item, but does a good job making ice cream. I liked the two different shirts your wore during the making of this video. Have a great rest of your Wednesday.
Hi Steve! Just ordered my Ninja Creami from Bed Bath & Beyond, with my Beyond+ it was only 143.99!! Yay!! Also got it with Klarna for 4 pmts! Not as much sticker shock! Thanks for all the great recipes, really want to try the Sour Cream Lemon! Yummmm! Blessings! Mary
Hi again Steve! I just got a flyer from Sam’s Club! They will have the Ninja Creami on sale at their website from October 27 thru Nov 24 for $129.98!! Ooops! 1 day too late for me since I already ordered mineI hope someone else can benefit from this sale! Have a great weekend! Mary.
I've been waiting for this one. The big turn-off for me is having to have the prepared containers in the freezer. I've gotten VERY spoiled with the ice cream maker I bought at a clearance sale at Williams Sonoma for a song that has a compressor, so I don't have to prechill anything.... but it's old and has never been in great condition and it too is LOUD and big. Maybe I'll look for a used Creami once the novelty wears off.
We bought a Cuisinart a while back and we were making a lot like you when we first got it. Now only maybe once a month, but we do enjoy it when we’re in the mood for ice cream. My son makes a delicious strawberry ice cream that’s to die for. That lemon sour cream sorbet sounds delicious and we’re going to have to try that one next. Thanks so much for the review Steve. 🌴🤗🌴
I have the same. I determine the break even point is around 20 batches assuming 6 dollars for top of the line ice cream per pint and factoring ingredients cost. My typical recipe. Heavy Cream or Coconut cream Sugar Substitute Flavors Salt Eggs
Just got mine today. It mentions in the instruction manual that the ice cream can look crumbly or powdery if your freezer is too cold. It also says that an upright or fridge freezer is better than a chest freezer as chest freezers are much colder. Thank you for the video, got to go make some ice cream now :-)
Steve, first, thanks for all the content. I recently got a Creami and have been suitably impressed. I tried your lemon sherbert recipe and it was great! I'm very culinarily challenged and so am always looking for simple foods. If you have any bottles of Supercoffee, I found it makes a great base! I literally just poured a bottle of their Punkin Spice coffee in a creami pint, added a few basics, dash of salt, splash of vanilla, 2 T allulose and 1/4 tsp tara gum. Topped it to the fill line with cream or half & half. It was great! May add a dash of Pumpkin Spice mix to the next pint to up the flavors.
Yay Colton! This looks like something that we would like. We lost our ice cream maker in our recent flood. I like that it doesn't take hours to finish. I never would have thought to use butter!
Off topic but I made your Pizza Chaffles for breakfast. Just wow, seriously delicious. Mind Blown, GAME CHANGER as you stated re: Chaffles!!! Looking forward to making ice cream for next month!
Hey Steve, loving our Creami! We've had it for a few months now and it's a rare night that we don't savor keto ice cream. As far as honeymoon period, that applied more to keto chow in our case. Initially, it was fun to experiment with different flavors, but keto chow just has a weird taste, and ultimately can't even hold a candle to store bought keto ice cream which really isn't that much more expensive than keto chow. With a little extra effort home made is the way to go. It takes a while to experiment and dial personal preference in terms of consistency and flavor, but once you get there you'll never go back to keto chow (at least not for ice cream)! In that regard I wanted to share something that turned out phenomenal. The secret mix in ingredient is those keto coconut clusters from Costco, which add extra sweet and savory, as well as a chocolate chip consistency to a generic chocolate base. I was a little disappointed with the chocolate base, I think when I made it I had even watered it down a bit from the recipe below, but after mixing in the clusters, holy cow, amazing! 2 cups heavy cream 2 cups unsweet almond milk 1/2 cup unsweet cocoa powder 3 egg yolks 1/8 oz knox gelatin 1 cup allulose 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp salt Bring heavy cream, almond milk, and cocoa powder to a simmer over medium heat, whisking until combined. Temper egg yolks, and add remaining ingredients, whisking frequently until it reaches 160 degrees. Let cool somewhat before adding to creami containers and freezing overnight. From frozen, select ice cream mode in the creami (and respin ONLY if powdery, the gelatin makes it more like soft serve), then add a generous amount of keto coconut clusters (using mix in mode).
This sounds delicious and I live in Canada where Keto Chow is extremely expensive and as for flavour I’ve never been overly impressed when using it in my baking. I’ve been making everything from scratch and homemade is the way for me to continue to Keto on, I’ve even made my own keto chocolate which is ridiculously easy once you start using cacao butter (food grade only) and melt in a pan over extremely low heat and then add Allulose and mix in cocoa powder then you can use to pour over your own coconut flakes or shreds or whatever you like and it’s literally pennies on the dollar compared to what those clusters at Costco charge plus no preservatives require just store them in the freezer. Also it’s super simple to make your own chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips (just don’t add the cacao powder and add some homemade vanilla extract). Anyway just something to do while you are waiting for your ice cream to freeze. 😁🥰❤️🇨🇦 Thanks for sharing your recipe!!!
Hey Steve, I bought mine thru QVC, they had a special for $179 and you got a total of 5 pint containers. Really enjoyed your review and will def try your lemon! Thanks!
Walmart had it for Black Friday at $124, discounted from their regular price of $149.99. The two extra pint containers cost $19.99. Extra containers are a must.
This is most interesting expecially since butter really is heavy cream without water (or whey), so it makes sense to reunite those two ingredients again. I have no idea what Keto Chow is and found in google that it is a powder to replace a normal meal. I shall pass on that but will experiment with adding maybe some non-fat milk powder, cocoa, coffee or even fresh fruit from my garden. I am glad I foud this site. I really like my Ninja Creami and am trying out all sorts of recipes, some work, some don't. One I really like is full-fat real Greek yoghurt, vanilla and some date syrup (or honey) - I only used a couple of tablsp., plus a scant 1/4 tsp. of Tara gum. It is creamy, refreshing and very tasty, and not too sweet. I shall try the butter/water mix next!
Great video Steve. Will try the sour cream lemon asap. My grand daughter really liked the fresh pineapple sorbet I made for her. She is 3 and a picky eater.
I got mine at Kohls with a 40% coupon and $10 coupon. I would not have paid full price! I will try your Keto chow recipe for sure! Thank you for such a thorough review and for the most adorable taste tester!
Good review! I’m loving mine since I can be in control of the ingredients. I’m avoiding erythritol, so with the Creami I can enjoy keto ice cream again. I mainly make Keto Chow ice cream and enjoy it as a meal. I also love that I don’t have frozen sides off the bowl as with my Cuisinart ice cream maker.
Your "danger pinata" shirt definitely cracked me up! Thanks for the review. For keto chow ice cream I use 4/5 oz of cream and the rest almond or coconut milk. I may also use some liquid sucralose. Sometimes I will also throw in a scoop of perfect keto collagen or some OOO flavorings. I might also toss in some lillie's chips, unsweetened coconut or almonds.
@@johnwilkinson4439 - Do you mix flavors, like chocolate peanut butter and salted caramel? Tastes like a Snickers bar. And they have other delicious combinations.
I am watching everyone make ice cream. I haven't had ice cream in over a year now. If I never have ice cream again then oh well. Glad everyone is having fun with the Creami.
Thank you for the honest review. Hubby and I have been on the fence about getting one, because of the price. I think we'll hold off for 2 reasons: 1- Hubby has had a statis migraine for 10 years, so the noise makes this not a good fit, and 2- we don't eat enough ice cream to dictate the cost. Maybe some day, as when we do enjoy ice cream, would be nice to have good healthy ice cream. Another excellent video.
Looking forward to getting mine. I got it from HSN. It's red and comes with 5 pint cups. It was $179. QVC also had it on sale and at one point had free shipping. It sells out fast too. I checked both sites everyday until it was there. Then I pounced! < Hardcore shopper :-)
If you make a few ahead and gave them in the freezer its not a problem. At least you have it. How many times have I wanted ice cream and had to go out to get it - now that's a problem. I'm sold on the Creami. Thank you for your fair and honest review.
I've been waiting for your review of the Ninja Creami. I got mine about three weeks ago and love it. I'm glad to have some more tips and tricks, and will be watching the video again for your quantities and measurements. I got mine mainly to make Keto Chow ice cream and wow, it REALLY does make them creamier. Great review and thanks for the info. If you have any future ideas, please keep us informed. BTW, who would give ice cream a thumbs down?
I have 4 pints in the freezer that I made last night. I used the recipe that 2KrazyKetos had on their podcast. Haven't used mine yet but they are ready to go. Did use Keto Chow. I have been looking forward to your review. You never disappoint.
Here's a little clarity on the break-even point: my local Costco has a half gallon of heavy whipping creme for less than $9. So I did the numbers and the cost of a pint of vanilla ice cream via this machine and my local $6 Ben and Jerry's is about 13% the cost (87% less expensive). Another way of saying it would be that you have to buy a bit less than 40 pints of ice cream before you break even. Yeah that is a lot, but once you get good, I think you can make ice cream better than Ben and Jerry's even. Also, none of the recipes are crumbly if you measure things correctly (at least they weren't for my freezer temperature). And if they are, don't just respin it; put some milk or water in it and then respin. Just respinning over and over is just heating the stuff up, which makes it less viscous. If you want to do that, then microwave the pint for 15 to 30 seconds or so then a respin. Last comment on this is that you should do a little experimentation and research if you are serious about making very high-quality ice cream. I used the so-called "vanilla lite" recipe as a start. I then used heavy creme and milk but less overall milkfat. I also added one to one and a half tablespoon(s) of creme chess (like in the tradition recipe) and a 1/4 teaspoon of guar gum (you can get it inexpensivley online). The creme cheese and guar gum are stabilizers and will keep the texture and hardness just right. When you get the hang of it, the ice cream is perfect, including after it has been in storage for a day or two (i.e. it will stay scoopable without a respin).
Here in canada this appliance is over $300. I have ice cream makers and my vitamix blender and these can do basically the same thing, especially my Vitamix Blender. Just not worth the price for me. Thank you for doing this vid as i was curious to see how it worked ❤️
wrong, your blender cannot even remotely do the same. There is a reason this technology has been patented up until a year ago or so. The commercial product is called pacojet, and costs 6500$. Now, you can get the same device but for less than 200 in the ninja creami. If your vitamix could do the same, pacojet wouldve been out of business.
@@DoppsPkin wow i posted this long ago, i cabed and bought the creami when i was $200, i hardly use it though as i live in a condo and my neighbours sure don’t lke the noise, that’s the only downside for me
Thanks! I also recommend watching the Throwback Thursday video on the candied pecans. The sweetener combo I use in that video really gets the perfect crunchy shell on them. ruclips.net/video/5wgG45fIbh4/видео.html
@@SeriousKeto I was having good luck with the brown Swerve and some Monkfruit/Eriythritol blend called Monkfruit in the Raw, but when I ran out of the Monkfruit I ordered some Pure Cane, and boy you were right, it gets VERY crunchy, and that's what I used for the pecans I mixed into the ice cream.
I just purchased mine from Best Buy, they currently had the lowest price in my area and most other stores were sold out. In my area KETO pints cost $6.99 and maybe $5.99 if you can find a sale. Walmart does carry some but very limited flavors. Buying 2 pints a month for a year is gonna cost roughly $143 - $167. So for me the price is worth having the infinite flavors and not being limited to just what is available at the store. Not to mention I will have control over the ingredients.
Ok got my creami, tried choc toffee and Carmel machiotto keto chow with salted Kerry gold but, I would definitely use unsalted butter next time. Very creamy and delish!
Thank you, Steve! Very thorough, as usual! I have a BulletRX that makes hot soup and ice cream plus more, and it is very loud but I prefer it to VitaMix. It has a solid engine and smaller foot print. I'm going to try using my Keto Chow (eggnog flavor) and put the mix on my icecube tray to see how the Bullet does. And BTW, Thanks for the discount code! I've shared it with my patients as well as uour videos❤
To avoid having your box come like that in the future, when you are checking out there is an option you check to have it come ships in an Amazon box. You scroll down to the bottom where, if it says it’s ship it’s own Packaging you have to select to have it “ship In Amazon packaging”. It doesn’t cost you anything extra to do that. I hope this helps for the future.

Great idea!
I just watched this again so I could share it on a forum I belong to. I ordered my Creami about 2 years ago, refurbished for $100. on Woot and I have used it almost daily. I am an ice cream person and use Keto Chow as a meal in the afternoon. So having ice cream at that time is something I look forward to. Keto Chow and the Ninja Creami is the perfect combination keeping me on track. Thank you for your review, Steve!
Thanks for the thorough testing. I'll absolutely be trying your lemon-sour cream recipe. I am enjoying my Ninja Creami. Definitely look for coupons/promos. You can pretty much always get 20% off at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Since Keto Chow is a meal in itself, I've occasionally had "ice cream" for dinner; especially after a long day/shift when all I want are my PJs and something comforting.
I got one when they first came out as well. Love the thing. I have another larger ice cream maker but i like this because i don’t have such a huge bowl to take up freezer space. Plus, i can make as many different flavors as i have pints containers. Another mention is you can buy extra parts and pint containers (blades, blending lids, etc) which makes it very handy. It is very loud i agree. For me and my husband, ice cream (sorbet etc) is the only treat we eat and we eat a small amount nightly. So when comparing the 6.00 per pint we were paying, i think it will come in paying for itself quickly for us. Thanks for the review. Now i need to get the ingredients for your sherbet. I love lemon yummy!!! If anyone drinks sprite (i do the zero sugar in this drink), try making a sorbet (any fruit flavor but my favorite is pineapple) and adding it to glass and mixing in the sprite. It is SUPER! We drink this as our nightly treat more than ice cream it seems. So yummy 🤤
Awesome video. I love Ninja products. Ninja should pay you for your work! 😉 but, what really makes your videos stand out is your candid assessment, recommendations, experimentations, and guest appearances from family members. Your grandson is adorable.
I don't think this would be for me as I'm happy with my current frozen dessert recipe--frozen berries, allulose and cream in my blender. It takes less than 5 minutes and satisfies that craving for a frozen treat.
Could u share your recipe?!
@@ShineOn.. I just eyeball it, but it's probably about a cup of frozen strawberries, 1/4-cup whipping cream and 3-4tbs of powdered allulose. Blend until smooth. For a bit icier texture, I sometimes use coconut milk instead of the cream.
Ice Cream was one of the foods I dearly missed when going Keto. I did buy the Ninja Creami. I agree it is a little pricey, but I knew I would be using it often. There are two things I wish this machine did. 1) I wish the containers were a little larger. That way I could make ice cream ahead of time, enough for a few nights for 2 people. 2) I wish you didn't have to freeze the container ingredients overnight. If I want ice cream, I want it now(not liking you have to think ahead, LOL!) But overall, I am happy with it. I have 2 pints in the freezer right now, made with fresh strawberries and coconut milk. I have also made Rocky Road(using sugarfree marshmallows) Lemon Sorbet, Pecan Praline(using extract, and pecans as mix ins), and chocolate. I haven't tried it with Keto Chow. In fact I haven't even tried Keo Chow yet. Anyways, thanks Steve for another great video. And happy belated Anniversary!
They sell the pint containers and lids on ninja website. Or I just prepare the ice cream ahead of time and transfer it to another Rubbermaid container that is freezer safe. When you are ready to scoop it out you do have to let it thaw a bit because it is hard but it frees up your pint containers cheaper😁. I find I have to let all the brands of keto ice cream thaw a bit so it is ok with me. Just a thought 👍🏻
Glad to get your review and will definitely need to try out your lemon sherbet recipe! You also might have convinced me to finally buy some allulose! I couldn't wait and bought a creami a few weeks ago and am VERY impressed! I had a cuisinart ice cream maker I was using with keto chow previously. My wife and I have keto chow ice cream for dinner 3 or 4 nights a week! My standard recipe is 1/2 stick of butter, 1 scoop keto chow, and water to fill up to 1 pint, about 1.5 cups. 1 light ice cream spin and 2 re-spins. My wife like soft serve so I spin hers first and then put the pint in some warm water for a few minutes while mine spins, and then one more re-spin for her and its great!... I tried lowering the fat some for a PSMF day to see how it turns out, 1TBSP of avocado oil, the taste difference was very slight from the butter. We Really love it!
I put it on the “I would like this for Christmas” list! Thanks for the review and recipes. 😊
My box came and opened like yours. I absolutely love it! I like the sorbet for my granddaughter along with all my keto flavors.
Tip: Make sure you use UNSALTED butter or it will be WAY to salty. Had to throw that batch away.
Yep! It’s worth $200 to me! The best invention Ninja came up with! LOL! For anything, there should a class action suit brought against Ninja for making people hooked on making ice cream with the bomb invention! And I use greek yogurt to make ice cream bcuz it doesn’t have mouth coating.
Look at that cutie Colton. The rage on these is quite the win for Keto Chow. They probably have had a huge increase in orders!
I bought a Creami but haven't quite learned the best recipe for a keto ice cream.
Btw, I've found the best way to combat the 'powder effect' is to let the ice cream warm for 15-20mins. If I leave it on the countertop for 20mins and THEN put it through the "ice cream" cycle, it comes out creamy the first time
You have more patience than I do. 😄
@@SeriousKeto BARELY! I did Ketochow like you, but only butter with water. I liked the texture and it tasted pretty decent.
But I noticed that I had to spin/respin it several times and (as a former chemist) I got the feeling it was the temp was still too low to allow the fats to turn creamy. So I let it sit and didn't have to churn it as much.
I'm so glad you got a unit though cause I'm looking for people doing experiments to learn from.
I'm hoping to develop a good keto base custard I can add cocoa, extracts to in order to create ice creams that compete with Rebel/Halo Top
You're keto chow ice cream recipe is pretty much where I ended up except I haven't added any allulose yet. I'll pick some up today.
Great point on removing the blade for cleaning and also wiping down the spindle.
What a doll baby Colton is. So adorable❤️
So excited to start seeing different recipes and variations start coming out for the Creami! One of my favorites so far is Orange Cream Dream.
1 Packet Orange Cream Keto Chow
4tbsp Butter
1tbps sweetner (better mouthfeel)
3 short squirts of Mio Orange Cream (tastes like an old school Push Up from the ice cream truck)
Some whipped cream on top.
Also, adding a tbsp of dark chocolate powder to any chocolate flavor helps it out. The 24hr prep time does suck, but like anything keto, the best flavor comes from experimentation and preparation. The "Science Project spaghetti noodles" blows miracle, fathead, and kelp noodles out of the water, but it's a pain to make too. After losing almost 40lbs though, I'll put in the extra prep and cleanup work at the sink, it's all just extra calories burned for me now.
The one with water instead of cream tasted better because the cream/milk dulls the flavors of your ingredients.
I found this out by accident in 1982 working at a restaurant, and we ran out of milk.
I gave in when I got my 30% kohl’s coupon and $20 kohl’s cash. Only used it a couple times so far, but it is fantastic with the Keto Chow. Considering how much keto ice cream costs, I think it was worth it to have the ability to customize my own healthy keto dessert. Both my husband and I are keto, so perfect to split a pint! Also, loved seeing Colton. (I have a son named Colton who just turned 27). 🤗
You are shopping right!😉
Amen keto ice cream cost like $7
WOW! WHAT A DEAL!
I love my Ninja Creami. My ice cream maker was on its last leg so it was a good time to get a new one. It's fun to have an ice cream cone again with Enlighten cones (once in awhile). I'm definitely going to try your lemon sour cream, that sounds wonderful.
Wow! I love how detailed you are! Thank you!
VERY helpful review! I love how you describe all of the texture and level of sweetness. I appreciate that you describe which kind of person might like which type of taste that you're tasting. It's also very helpful that you describe who may or may not like this product depending on what their lifestyle preferences are. Thank you so much. ♥
really love your review of this one. waited a couple days to watch this review, thought it would be way too expensive and not worth the trouble, I like IC, but not everyday. This does have me thinking about getting it as a gift to myself in the future. Not big on IC in the winter. and I agree with another comment Keto IC is costly and to be honest, still not crazy about all the ingredients, this machine can help me control what goes into it--thanks again for another honest and real review
Try mixing your ice cream as usual - no fat --and freeze add your fat (full whipping cream is my favorite) to the product just before putting it thru the creami. I use the milk shake function. Works great and I love it.
I’ll have to try that. Thanks.
I'd be interested to see how this compares to the "food processor" ice-cream technique. After you make your ice-cream mix, you put it in ice cube trays (or whatever as long as it's not just one big lump, but is at least several smaller lumps). Then you take the desired amount of cubes of ice-cream and put them through the food processor. I haven't tried it, but a few web sites have said it's a great alternative to an ice-cram machine.
I have tried this, well sort of, with deep frozen strawberries and some hwc. Works like a charm.
Good job as usual! I just bought the latest $70 Cuisinart and it makes Keto chow ice cream in 12 minutes very very quietly!. Love it.
There are hundreds of cuisinart products, which one did you purchase , please ! b
@@bgueberdenteich5206 Cuisinart ICE-21PK Frozen Yogurt - Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker, Pink. On Amazon $70. Comes in different colors. It's this year's version. Super simple. Keep the bowl in the freezer all the time. Then it takes12 minutes to Keto Chow Ice Cream. I use mostly coconut milk and a little half and half.
Thank you, just added the cuisinart to my account, Love Ice cream ❤️
I’m getting a creami this week finally. I’m watching a lot of creami keto chow videos. I am excited about your lemon gelato. Thanks.
I am on an exclusively Keto Chow diet and mine arrives next week. I can't wait! Ice cream for every meal!!!! I might splurge one day and put some high key cookies in too, I bet they crumble nicely in there.
If doing a follow-up, maybe you could go over the settings a bit more. Overall, the review itself was great. You're the only reviewer I've cared to watch regarding this product. But I'm still unclear on the nuances or differences between "Ice Cream" and "Light Ice Cream"... Is "light" only a feature when using low-fat ingredients etc.?
Light is for low/no sugar
I love your baby's reaction. Thank you for this review. I'm buying this on Saturday and I can't wait😃
Love this video, thanks for making it!! I’ve only used mine once and didn’t care for it but now I’m excited to make your recipes.
My two year old son loved watching your taste tester! Giggled the whole time ❤
I've tried 3 things and loved them all based on your recommendations. Just purchased a Creami. Can't wait to try it!!!
Cutest little taste tester!!! Great video and review. Love my ninja creami. I also make ice cream using Maria Emmerich egg pudding recipe for higher protein days. 😋
Your grandson is so cute! Thank you for doing this video. I was thinking about buying this.
Thank you, Steve, for this great review! And for figuring out the perfect recipe formulas for us!
Thank you for giving this great review. It is all over the keto chow community it’s where they will have their shake as ice cream, so it’s a meal replacement, if you so choose. I too thought the price seemed a bit high. Have not yet jumped on the wagon.
Thanks for the thorough review - lots of helpful information to help people make their decision!
Yes. I have four pints in the freezer right now. My husband loves it and it's so much better for him than the ice cream he used to eat. I use Keto Chow, 1/4 cup cream, 1/4 cup allulose, then water to the pint mark. Chocolate Keto Chow gets an extra tablespoon of cocoa. I use Catalina Crunch cookies and cereal for the add-ins. We have it for lunch every day!
1/4 cup allulose? Wow, that seems like a lot.
I did take extensive notes as I experimented to arrive at this go-to recipe
I'll have to try gradually upping my amount and see what happens...
I just got mine a couple of weeks ago and love it. I use the recipes provided as a base and then do my own flavors and so far I am very happy with the purchase. You did say something about re-spinning after add ins. To this point the add ins have not gotten chopped up during this process for me. I use Lilly chocolate chips. My guess is that they are so hard from being frozen in the freezer that the blade isn't sharp enough to slice through them. So re-spinning after add ins doesn't seem to be a problem. Can't speak for other types of add ins yet.
Another GREAT informational video. The honesty is what I always appreciate.
Steve, enjoyed your review of the Ninja Creami. I have purchased one and have used almost every day since, using keto chow as the base. I would agree on the assessment of the cost, probably won’t be a return on investment item, but does a good job making ice cream. I liked the two different shirts your wore during the making of this video. Have a great rest of your Wednesday.
But your CREAMI makes you happy, brings you and loved ones, joy and that is PRICELESS !
Hi Steve! Just ordered my Ninja Creami from Bed Bath & Beyond, with my Beyond+ it was only 143.99!! Yay!! Also got it with Klarna for 4 pmts! Not as much sticker shock! Thanks for all the great recipes, really want to try the Sour Cream Lemon! Yummmm! Blessings!
Mary
That’s a great price!
Hi again Steve! I just got a flyer from Sam’s Club! They will have the Ninja Creami on sale at their website from October 27 thru Nov 24 for $129.98!! Ooops! 1 day too late for me since I already ordered mineI hope someone else can benefit from this sale! Have a great weekend! Mary.
@@8Worship7Dancer What are you talking about, we are in October !
@@bgueberdenteich5206 the sale starts on October 27 & runs through November 24. It was an advance sale flyer in the mail!
I've been waiting for this one. The big turn-off for me is having to have the prepared containers in the freezer. I've gotten VERY spoiled with the ice cream maker I bought at a clearance sale at Williams Sonoma for a song that has a compressor, so I don't have to prechill anything.... but it's old and has never been in great condition and it too is LOUD and big. Maybe I'll look for a used Creami once the novelty wears off.
Thank you for the review. Helped me make the decision to wait.
We bought a Cuisinart a while back and we were making a lot like you when we first got it. Now only maybe once a month, but we do enjoy it when we’re in the mood for ice cream. My son makes a delicious strawberry ice cream that’s to die for. That lemon sour cream sorbet sounds delicious and we’re going to have to try that one next. Thanks so much for the review Steve. 🌴🤗🌴
I have the same. I determine the break even point is around 20 batches assuming 6 dollars for top of the line ice cream per pint and factoring ingredients cost.
My typical recipe.
Heavy Cream or Coconut cream
Sugar Substitute
Flavors
Salt
Eggs
Just got mine today. It mentions in the instruction manual that the ice cream can look crumbly or powdery if your freezer is too cold. It also says that an upright or fridge freezer is better than a chest freezer as chest freezers are much colder. Thank you for the video, got to go make some ice cream now :-)
Great info. The one thing I was hoping for was how you compared this to other traditional icecream makers.
My “traditional” ice cream maker got knocked off the counter and the drive housing shattered. That’s why I wound up buying a Creami.
Adore watching your Grandson taste nothing but pure, icy smooth watermelon. He'll love it for life. And have fond memories of you giving it to him. :)
Especially with a sprinkle of fleur de sel finishing salt. If you've never had it on watermelon, it's a taste explosion.
@@SeriousKeto I have. The only way Mom would serve it to us. (See, I remember Mom)
Steve, first, thanks for all the content. I recently got a Creami and have been suitably impressed. I tried your lemon sherbert recipe and it was great! I'm very culinarily challenged and so am always looking for simple foods. If you have any bottles of Supercoffee, I found it makes a great base! I literally just poured a bottle of their Punkin Spice coffee in a creami pint, added a few basics, dash of salt, splash of vanilla, 2 T allulose and 1/4 tsp tara gum. Topped it to the fill line with cream or half & half. It was great! May add a dash of Pumpkin Spice mix to the next pint to up the flavors.
I don’t know what that is. Is it a coffee syrup like the Skinny Girl stuff?
I don't know if I need to replace my Cuisinart just yet. But I do love your honest, thorough reviews of products.
Yay Colton!
This looks like something that we would like. We lost our ice cream maker in our recent flood. I like that it doesn't take hours to finish.
I never would have thought to use butter!
Great evaluation. Very helpful in my determination as to whether I really need to splurge on another trendy gadget. Thanks Steve 👍🏼
Off topic but I made your Pizza Chaffles for breakfast. Just wow, seriously delicious. Mind Blown, GAME CHANGER as you stated re: Chaffles!!! Looking forward to making ice cream for next month!
Hey Steve, loving our Creami! We've had it for a few months now and it's a rare night that we don't savor keto ice cream. As far as honeymoon period, that applied more to keto chow in our case. Initially, it was fun to experiment with different flavors, but keto chow just has a weird taste, and ultimately can't even hold a candle to store bought keto ice cream which really isn't that much more expensive than keto chow. With a little extra effort home made is the way to go. It takes a while to experiment and dial personal preference in terms of consistency and flavor, but once you get there you'll never go back to keto chow (at least not for ice cream)! In that regard I wanted to share something that turned out phenomenal. The secret mix in ingredient is those keto coconut clusters from Costco, which add extra sweet and savory, as well as a chocolate chip consistency to a generic chocolate base. I was a little disappointed with the chocolate base, I think when I made it I had even watered it down a bit from the recipe below, but after mixing in the clusters, holy cow, amazing!
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups unsweet almond milk
1/2 cup unsweet cocoa powder
3 egg yolks
1/8 oz knox gelatin
1 cup allulose
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Bring heavy cream, almond milk, and cocoa powder to a simmer over medium heat, whisking until combined. Temper egg yolks, and add remaining ingredients, whisking frequently until it reaches 160 degrees. Let cool somewhat before adding to creami containers and freezing overnight. From frozen, select ice cream mode in the creami (and respin ONLY if powdery, the gelatin makes it more like soft serve), then add a generous amount of keto coconut clusters (using mix in mode).
This sounds delicious and I live in Canada where Keto Chow is extremely expensive and as for flavour I’ve never been overly impressed when using it in my baking. I’ve been making everything from scratch and homemade is the way for me to continue to Keto on, I’ve even made my own keto chocolate which is ridiculously easy once you start using cacao butter (food grade only) and melt in a pan over extremely low heat and then add Allulose and mix in cocoa powder then you can use to pour over your own coconut flakes or shreds or whatever you like and it’s literally pennies on the dollar compared to what those clusters at Costco charge plus no preservatives require just store them in the freezer. Also it’s super simple to make your own chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips (just don’t add the cacao powder and add some homemade vanilla extract). Anyway just something to do while you are waiting for your ice cream to freeze. 😁🥰❤️🇨🇦 Thanks for sharing your recipe!!!
Thank you Steve for another interesting video.
Thanks Steve for taking on for the Team !!!! 🍁🌻🍂
This was an easy one, not like the Athletic Greens.😄
Hey Steve, I bought mine thru QVC, they had a special for $179 and you got a total of 5 pint containers. Really enjoyed your review and will def try your lemon! Thanks!
Walmart had it for Black Friday at $124, discounted from their regular price of $149.99. The two extra pint containers cost $19.99. Extra containers are a must.
Great price
This is most interesting expecially since butter really is heavy cream without water (or whey), so it makes sense to reunite those two ingredients again. I have no idea what Keto Chow is and found in google that it is a powder to replace a normal meal. I shall pass on that but will experiment with adding maybe some non-fat milk powder, cocoa, coffee or even fresh fruit from my garden. I am glad I foud this site. I really like my Ninja Creami and am trying out all sorts of recipes, some work, some don't. One I really like is full-fat real Greek yoghurt, vanilla and some date syrup (or honey) - I only used a couple of tablsp., plus a scant 1/4 tsp. of Tara gum. It is creamy, refreshing and very tasty, and not too sweet. I shall try the butter/water mix next!
Glad to have you here. You might enjoy this video on how to make your ice cream extra smooth and creamy:

Excellent review, thank you Steve.
Great video Steve. Will try the sour cream lemon asap. My grand daughter really liked the fresh pineapple sorbet I made for her. She is 3 and a picky eater.
I got mine at Kohls with a 40% coupon and $10 coupon. I would not have paid full price! I will try your Keto chow recipe for sure! Thank you for such a thorough review and for the most adorable taste tester!
That’s a great deal!
Good review! I’m loving mine since I can be in control of the ingredients. I’m avoiding erythritol, so with the Creami I can enjoy keto ice cream again. I mainly make Keto Chow ice cream and enjoy it as a meal. I also love that I don’t have frozen sides off the bowl as with my Cuisinart ice cream maker.
What sweetener do you use ? Please ?
I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Thank You - you're the best.
Your "danger pinata" shirt definitely cracked me up! Thanks for the review. For keto chow ice cream I use 4/5 oz of cream and the rest almond or coconut milk. I may also use some liquid sucralose. Sometimes I will also throw in a scoop of perfect keto collagen or some OOO flavorings. I might also toss in some lillie's chips, unsweetened coconut or almonds.
Do you use any Keto Chow in it?
@@nadogrl yes. I have tried a variety of flavors but chocolate is my favorite.
@@johnwilkinson4439 - Do you mix flavors, like chocolate peanut butter and salted caramel? Tastes like a Snickers bar. And they have other delicious combinations.
This was such a helpful video! Definitely considering this hard for the holidays. Crossing my fingers for a black Friday sale.
Cool and thorough review. Thanks!
Your grandson is so adorable, I remember when my daughter was that age and it was a gray one.
Colton is so cute, and boy he sure liked the sorbet. I fount that if I just do it twice on light it works well.
I am watching everyone make ice cream. I haven't had ice cream in over a year now. If I never have ice cream again then oh well. Glad everyone is having fun with the Creami.
⭐️Thanks for the review!⭐️
Thank you for the honest review. Hubby and I have been on the fence about getting one, because of the price. I think we'll hold off for 2 reasons: 1- Hubby has had a statis migraine for 10 years, so the noise makes this not a good fit, and 2- we don't eat enough ice cream to dictate the cost. Maybe some day, as when we do enjoy ice cream, would be nice to have good healthy ice cream. Another excellent video.
Glad I could help with your decision.
Looking forward to getting mine. I got it from HSN. It's red and comes with 5 pint cups. It was $179. QVC also had it on sale and at one point had free shipping. It sells out fast too. I checked both sites everyday until it was there. Then I pounced! < Hardcore shopper :-)
I got mine from QVC thankfully before they sold out. You will love having the 5 pints.

thanks for the review. well done, sir.
If you make a few ahead and gave them in the freezer its not a problem. At least you have it. How many times have I wanted ice cream and had to go out to get it - now that's a problem. I'm sold on the Creami. Thank you for your fair and honest review.
I've been waiting for your review of the Ninja Creami. I got mine about three weeks ago and love it. I'm glad to have some more tips and tricks, and will be watching the video again for your quantities and measurements. I got mine mainly to make Keto Chow ice cream and wow, it REALLY does make them creamier. Great review and thanks for the info. If you have any future ideas, please keep us informed. BTW, who would give ice cream a thumbs down?
Someone with a very black heart. 😄
Only review I've seen that mentions cleaning at all. Thank you! It's the number 1 thing I want to know about a product before buying, haha.
I’m not even keto why am I watching this. Probably because Steve is entertaining
I subscribe and watch all his videos and won't ever be Keto. But I like Steve's personality, his professionalism, and I find him very interesting! 😊
Another fantastic video from Steve at Serious keto. Thanks !!!
So Steve.. Since the "honeymoon is over" I'll take it off your hands!
Loved your taste tester! Colton sold me on this maker!
I have 4 pints in the freezer that I made last night. I used the recipe that 2KrazyKetos had on their podcast. Haven't used mine yet but they are ready to go. Did use Keto Chow. I have been looking forward to your review. You never disappoint.
Here's a little clarity on the break-even point: my local Costco has a half gallon of heavy whipping creme for less than $9. So I did the numbers and the cost of a pint of vanilla ice cream via this machine and my local $6 Ben and Jerry's is about 13% the cost (87% less expensive). Another way of saying it would be that you have to buy a bit less than 40 pints of ice cream before you break even. Yeah that is a lot, but once you get good, I think you can make ice cream better than Ben and Jerry's even.
Also, none of the recipes are crumbly if you measure things correctly (at least they weren't for my freezer temperature). And if they are, don't just respin it; put some milk or water in it and then respin. Just respinning over and over is just heating the stuff up, which makes it less viscous. If you want to do that, then microwave the pint for 15 to 30 seconds or so then a respin.
Last comment on this is that you should do a little experimentation and research if you are serious about making very high-quality ice cream. I used the so-called "vanilla lite" recipe as a start. I then used heavy creme and milk but less overall milkfat. I also added one to one and a half tablespoon(s) of creme chess (like in the tradition recipe) and a 1/4 teaspoon of guar gum (you can get it inexpensivley online). The creme cheese and guar gum are stabilizers and will keep the texture and hardness just right. When you get the hang of it, the ice cream is perfect, including after it has been in storage for a day or two (i.e. it will stay scoopable without a respin).
Thanks for doing the math. I did a video on guar gum.
Interesting about the box condition from Amazon. I have been seeing this often now with my deliveries from Amazon.
Here in canada this appliance is over $300. I have ice cream makers and my vitamix blender and these can do basically the same thing, especially my Vitamix Blender. Just not worth the price for me. Thank you for doing this vid as i was curious to see how it worked ❤️
It's $179 for Boxing Day.
wrong, your blender cannot even remotely do the same. There is a reason this technology has been patented up until a year ago or so. The commercial product is called pacojet, and costs 6500$. Now, you can get the same device but for less than 200 in the ninja creami. If your vitamix could do the same, pacojet wouldve been out of business.
@@DoppsPkin wow i posted this long ago, i cabed and bought the creami when i was $200, i hardly use it though as i live in a condo and my neighbours sure don’t lke the noise, that’s the only downside for me

Hey all, make the Salted Caramel Keto Chow into ice cream, then add Steve's candied pecans from his recipe video. It' is absolutely INCREDIBLE!
Thanks! I also recommend watching the Throwback Thursday video on the candied pecans. The sweetener combo I use in that video really gets the perfect crunchy shell on them. ruclips.net/video/5wgG45fIbh4/видео.html
@@SeriousKeto I was having good luck with the brown Swerve and some Monkfruit/Eriythritol blend called Monkfruit in the Raw, but when I ran out of the Monkfruit I ordered some Pure Cane, and boy you were right, it gets VERY crunchy, and that's what I used for the pecans I mixed into the ice cream.
Thanks so much helped me out was trying to decide if I wanted to spend that much this helped alot
Thank you for the review. I just found out a year ago I'm lactose intolerant and would love to make my own ice cream. I can't wait to buy one.
If you have a Costco membership, it was $149 with 3 pint jars the last time I was there.
Thanks for the review. Not on my want list, I hardly use the ice cream maker I have.
I just purchased mine from Best Buy, they currently had the lowest price in my area and most other stores were sold out. In my area KETO pints cost $6.99 and maybe $5.99 if you can find a sale. Walmart does carry some but very limited flavors. Buying 2 pints a month for a year is gonna cost roughly $143 - $167. So for me the price is worth having the infinite flavors and not being limited to just what is available at the store. Not to mention I will have control over the ingredients.
Ok got my creami, tried choc toffee and Carmel machiotto keto chow with salted Kerry gold but, I would definitely use unsalted butter next time. Very creamy and delish!
Thank you, Steve! Very thorough, as usual!
I have a BulletRX that makes hot soup and ice cream plus more, and it is very loud but I prefer it to VitaMix. It has a solid engine and smaller foot print. I'm going to try using my Keto Chow (eggnog flavor) and put the mix on my icecube tray to see how the Bullet does. And BTW, Thanks for the discount code! I've shared it with my patients as well as uour videos❤
