Our Honest Ninja Creami Review

It started with a impulse buy that Keri Lyn made – then told Fabiana that she just HAD to try it – and within a week, it’s become a true obsession! No joke, we are trying all of the best Ninja Creami recipes and passing them on to you! 

We’ve literally been in love since the first spin. Ok, well I guess we should say since we tried that first final product from our first Ninja Creami creation. Creami owners have come together all over the world to sing the praises of the original Ninja Creami, and the excitement and sharing have just escalated from there. Why? Because it’s a fact: people have always loved good ice cream! And this Ninja ice cream maker gives you complete control of making your own frozen treats affordably and creatively, right in your very own kitchen!

You’ll start by using the included recipe booklet, but you will be surprised at how quickly you spread your Ninja wings.

Suggestion: buy additional Ninja ice cream pint containers – you’ll need them! We like to keep several in the freezer at all times so we can make a frozen dessert on a moments notice. Trust us! Pull this out after a dinner party and your guests will be amazed and impressed!

In just a couple of months, we’ve created so many new ice cream recipes that we’ll be sharing with you!

Basic Ninja Creami Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe

We are about to make the EASIEST homemade vanilla ice cream you’ve ever tried. Forget those complicated recipes with a million ingredients and steps that come with lots of other ice cream makers. This one is SO simple; it’s practically foolproof. And the best part? You only need a few ingredients. So, let’s get churning!

Supplies Needed:

• Ninja Creami machine
• Microwavable Bowl
• Whisk or spoon

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon cream cheese
• 1/3 cup sugar (granulated white)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla paste (or vanilla extract, but the paste is worth it for that extra punch of flavor!)
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk

Directions:

1. Quick Nuke: Pop the cream cheese in your microwave-safe bowl and heat it for 15 seconds. This makes it easier to mix everything together.

2. Mix It Up: Now, add the rest of the ingredients (sugar, vanilla, heavy cream, and milk) to the bowl. Give everything a good stir until the sugar is dissolved. No need for a fancy mixer here – a simple whisk or even a spoon will do the trick!

3. Creami Time: Pour your creamy mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container. Seal it up with the lid, and slide it into the freezer for 24 hours. (Yes, I know it’s hard to wait, but trust me, it’s worth it!)

4. Spin It: After 24 hours, take the pint out of the freezer and pop it into your Ninja Creami. Select the “Ice Cream” function, and let the magic happen! In a few minutes, you’ll have perfectly churned, soft-serve-style vanilla ice cream.
