This machine has gone viral for its apparent ability to turn anything into creamy soft-serve like dessert.

Ninja recommends freezing Creami bases for 24 hours, but we've had success with 8 to 12 hour freezing times, too. In our experience, freezing bases for 24 hours or longer usually meant they'd be very chalky on the first run through the Creami and require multiple respins.

Re-spin ice cream if the consistency is not optimal after the initial cycle. Consider adding extra liquid for a creamier texture in certain recipes. Use official Ninja Creamy pints and avoid plastic bags for freezing. Embrace creativity and explore new recipes and flavor combinations.

Pour mixture into an empty CREAMi™ Pint. Add cola and stir with a spoon to combine and eliminate the carbonation. Place storage lid on pint and freeze for 24 hours.

It's also important to note that this is not a blender. You can't throw some ice cubes or frozen fruit into the machine to make a smoothie. Everything you make with the Ninja Creami Deluxe must be prefrozen solid in the provided pint container.

The optional egg white helps to stabilize, emulsify, and preserve the texture of the sorbet if you are going to keep it in your freezer for a few days.

What is sorbet ingredient list? ›

Sorbets are a simple combination of fresh fruit or fruit juice with sugar. That's it! About two pounds of fruit will be perfect for making a quart of sorbet — that comes out to about five cups of chopped fruit. A little more or less is fine; this is a basic formula, not an exact science.

Sorbet has less calories than ice cream and other frozen desserts, and no fat. It's fruit content also makes it rich in vitamin C. Any downsides? That fruit content also means it contains a fair bit of sugar, and if we're comparing it with ice cream and gelato, it has less calcium, vitamin A and iron.

Versatility: The Ninja Creami is known for its versatility. It doesn't just make ice cream but can also create various frozen treats like gelato, sorbet, and more. This multifunctionality appeals to consumers looking for a diverse frozen dessert maker. Quick and Easy: The Ninja Creami boasts quick and easy operation.

After your first spin, sometimes you open it and find that your ice cream is crumbly or powdery. Don't stop now. Just add a tablespoon or two of liquid and spin on respin. If your ice cream has been in the freezer a long time or your freezer is extra cold, you may even have to repeat the respin several times.

The Ninja Creami Deluxe version expands upon the original Ninja Creami, which offers seven functions (ice cream, sorbet, lite ice cream, gelato, milkshake, smoothie bowl, and mix-in) while the Deluxe offers 11 (it adds slushy, Italian ice, frozen drink, Creamiccino, and frozen yogurt to the mix).

Continue adding more berries and pressing down with a heavy kitchen utensil until all berries are pressed into the pint just below the MAX FILL line. Place storage lid on pint and freeze for 24 hours.

Yes, you can absolutely put whole frozen strawberries in a blender to make smoothies. I do this all the time with my Ninja Blender to make the most delicious strawberry banana smoothie bowls.

Yes. However, the Ninja blender is not a juice extractor, so you may need to add liquid or ice to reach the consistency you desire.

Frozen fruit CAN be used as a substitute for ice if needed. You'll just need to use a bit more of it. Frozen banana chunks make great substitutes for ice cubes in a pinch, and also enhance the flavor of the smoothie, as you are no longer diluting it with all that frozen water.
