Review: Revolutionary Kitchen Appliance That Makes Gourmet Ice Cream at Home - The Ninja CREAMi has completely transformed how I think about frozen desserts and has become one of the most-used appliances in my kitchen. This machine genuinely delivers on its promise of creating smooth, creamy, professional-quality ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and milkshakes at home with results that rival or exceed what you'd find in premium ice cream shops. The seven one-touch programs provide incredible versatility for different frozen treat preferences. Whether I'm making traditional ice cream, lighter gelato, refreshing sorbet, protein-packed smoothie bowls, or indulgent milkshakes, each program is specifically calibrated to achieve the perfect texture for that particular dessert type. The precision of these programs eliminates the guesswork and produces consistent results every single time. What sets the CREAMi apart from traditional ice cream makers is the revolutionary processing method. Instead of churning ingredients as they freeze, you freeze your base completely solid in the provided containers, then the machine uses its powerful blade system to shave and blend the frozen mixture into incredibly smooth, creamy perfection. This process creates a texture that's noticeably superior to conventional churned ice cream, with none of the ice crystals or graininess that plague homemade frozen desserts. The ability to customize flavors and control ingredients is a game-changer for anyone with dietary restrictions or specific preferences. I can create sugar-free versions using alternative sweeteners, make dairy-free options with coconut or almond milk bases, increase protein content for post-workout treats, or experiment with unique flavor combinations that you simply can't find in stores. Having complete control over every ingredient means I know exactly what I'm consuming. The included pint containers are perfectly designed for the machine and conveniently sized for storage. I typically prepare several bases at once and keep them frozen, ready to process whenever a craving hits. This prep-ahead capability means I can have fresh ice cream ready in just minutes.
Review: Worth the hype - Bought this “used” from desertcart at a discount from the regular price. The box was open but that’s what it said it would be like. Everything was present and accounted for. I’d watched a lot of ninja creami videos on Instagram thinking about getting one (like for over a year). Was hoping to use to make frozen yogurt/ healthier frozen options. It took me awhile bc I wasn’t sure if it’d be worth it. IT IS. So easy to use. Pretty loud (kind of scary loud) but I’m used to it now. It goes for about 2ish minutes and it’s done. We make sure we scrape the top of the frozen yogurt in the container so there are no bumps before we spin it. The only real challenge is coming up with new recipes and flavors- and really that’s a joy. Easy to clean. The little spinner thing (looks like a tire valve cap) in the machine that connects to the basket & blade does get stuff on it so be sure to clean that each time you’re cleaning up after a spin. It’s thick and creami. Just bc I looked for forever, I’ll leave the recipe I’ve been using for the base for my froyo. 3/4 C greek yogurt. (But I use just an individual container of yogurt and that’s plenty. Been using chobani zero sugar vanilla) 1/2 C (choice- any kind) milk 1 TBSP maple syrup (real stuff) I add a scoop of protein powder (optional) If I’m doing a fruity flavor it’s 1/2- 1/3 C of the frozen fruit. (For plain vanilla, I double the amount of yogurt, and add a tsp of vanilla) I blend all of this until it’s smooth in a blender. Then put it in the quart and freeze it. Scrape the top level, spin it. An absolute delight. I’m so glad I bought it. It’s already paid for itself in happiness and froyo.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How loud is the motor when it is running?**
A: Incredibly loud. I was shocked at how load this is. I'm definitely returning it because I live in an apartment and I'm certain my neighbors heard it. I should have recorded a video so you can hear but holy cow it gave me the worst anxiety. 

To address one of the other answers about it not being louder than a blender. They are entirely incorrect. I have a ninja blender and this is FOR SURE incredibly louder than that. I honestly cannot recommend this product to anyone because of how loud it is.

**Q: If you have to refreeze your already made ice cream, does it retain the same texture or does it freeze solid like ice?**
A: It CAN freeze harder than what the initial processing produced and if it does you are supposed to use the original setting again(ice cream, sorbet, etc). The re-spin setting is to be used only after initial processing and BEFORE re-freezing. If you have to re-spin every time you use the machine you may want to consider bumping the temperature of your freezer up a few degrees because it is probably freezing colder than the range that Ninja suggests.

**Q: Can you use non dairy like almond milk?**
A: Yes. There are dairy free recipes in the booklet that comes in the box.

**Q: Can I make pineapple sorbet ?**
A: I put canned pineapples in, and got pineapple sorbet. It’s even better if you throw in some coconut milk. Then you get a piña colada survey. It was really quite good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple to use; delicious ice cream/treats; countless recipes
*by P***. on May 22, 2025*

I've had this Ninja Creami for a few weeks now and have made about two dozen recipes with it - sorbet, lite ice cream, ice cream (I haven't tried gelato or milkshakes). So far, I have no complaints at all. I'm not understanding the negative reviews, other than to assume that people aren't following the recipes, tips and instructions from Ninja, or they are expecting a perfect commercial-like appearance. Anything I've made that came out "crumbly", as most of the recipes I've made did on the first spin, instantly became smooth just by waiting for a minute and then stirring it up a bit. Doing a re-spin will make it 'creamy' 99% of the time. Even if it's "crumbly" it instantly feels like 'silk' and melts in your mouth, and in this case the texture doesn't affect the taste at all. To be honest, this stuff is good no matter how it looks. I started with the basic recipes in the book that came with the unit, and followed them to the letter before exploring substitutions/additions or other adjustments. Chocolate ice cream was the first one I tried. I have to say, it makes the best chocolate ice cream I've ever eaten in 60+ years, hands down, no kidding. My husband, an ice cream fanatic, agreed. Although he isn't wild about chocolate anything, he said it was the best ice cream he's ever had and would eat it anytime. The sorbets are a breeze to prepare and come out great. They're even better if you take the time to chop up the ingredients/fruit first, but it's not necessary. I use a blender if I feel like going to the trouble, and blending say canned pineapple with a touch of coconut cream is worth doing. It's worth making that combo even if you don't blend it first, trust me. If you're using canned fruit you don't have to chop or blend anything (I guess there could be a rare recipe that specifically calls for it), but I find it makes it even better if you do. If your fruit has any pulp, the Ninja does a really good job of pulverizing 99.9% of it. Everything about the specific ingredients you use determines the outcome regarding texture - for example, a can of pineapple or mandarin orange slices by themselves will be more icy/sorbet-like than creamy, and canned pineapple tidbits with coconut cream or heavy cream will be extra creamy and not icy. I think it's of key importance to follow the instructions & recipes from Ninja first, not 'the internet', until you know what works, what can be substituted (successfully) for what, etc. As far as quantity and leftovers: Clearly, this processes one pint of ice cream at a time - you mix your ingredients, pour them into the Ninja pint and freeze for 24 hours. Yes, you have to freeze it for 24 hours, but you can prep and freeze multiple pints (I recommend buying extra Ninja pints) and have them ready. After 24 hours (or days/weeks later) you take it out of the freezer and process it in literally 2 minutes and it's ready to eat. If you should have any leftover, you can either let it melt in the pint container (so it will refreeze evenly), refreeze, and then reprocess it in the machine whenever you want, or, you can put it into any container you have, refreeze, and just let it sit out for a minute or two before eating it with no need to use the machine. It may not 'look' as good, but it certainly will taste as good (**note that if you do this you should do it in individual serving sizes because when it refreezes it's hard as a rock and probably won't scoop out of your container like commercial ice cream will). Just be certain that if you refreeze the recipe in the Ninja pint container that it refreezes such that the top of it is level (as all recipes should be). Otherwise you can damage the blade of the machine. As far as cleaning, I get what people say about the lid. It doesn't come apart to clean and has working parts inside that can be exposed to the ingredients. I haven't had it happen that I can tell, and I just don't see it as a big issue, unless you're letting the lid sit around for hours with stuff drying up on it. I immediately rinse mine, and after eating I soak the lid for a bit, rinse it well and let it dry. It's definitely not a deal breaker for me, and I'm pretty sure if any microscopic bits do get in there I'll survive it just fine. That said, I think Ninja could create a sealed unit that would make everyone happier. Otherwise, cleaning is a breeze. The pint container and lid/blade are the only things that need washing; I think they're dishwasher safe but I hand wash mine. If the machine holds up over time, I give it 5+ stars. Follow the instructions & recipes from Ninja kitchen before you experiment on your own and I think you'll be happy with this purchase.
