Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker & Frozen Dessert Maker with 3 Tubs, 7 Programs, Makes Ice Cream, Gelato, Sorbet, Smoothie Bowl, Milkshakes and more, Black/Silver, Makes 1.4L of Ice Cream, NC300UK

I bought the Ninja CREAMi mainly to make healthier ice cream at home, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. The instructions were very easy to follow and after the first batch I was already experimenting with different recipes. My go to mix has been protein powder with Greek yogurt and skimmed milk, and somehow it turns into an incredibly creamy ice cream that tastes far more indulgent than it actually is. It’s really easy to use too. You fill the tubs with your mixture and freeze them for 24 hours before using the machine. I quickly realised it works best if you keep a few tubs prepared in the freezer so you always have one ready to go. Once frozen, you just select the Light Ice Cream setting and let it do its thing. I still have no idea how it manages to make such smooth ice cream from what starts as a solid frozen block, but the texture is impressive. When you fill your ingredients to the top of the filling level it makes enough ice cream for 2 people and it’s a decent sized serving too. I’ve already tried loads of combinations including lemon meringue, chocolate and even one made mainly with cottage cheese, which surprisingly worked very well. The mix in function is great too for adding things like chocolate chips or raisins after blending. I made a rum and raisin version and it kept the raisins whole rather than destroying them, although I did notice some ingredients did not always mix fully to the bottom of the tub. It is quite noisy while running, so don’t expect a quiet appliance, but you do get used to it and the results make up for it. Cleaning is also nice and easy because the parts just need a quick rinse in warm water. I have not used the milkshake, sorbet or smoothie bowl functions much yet because I bought this specifically for low fat, lower calorie ice cream, and for that it’s been superb. If you enjoy experimenting with healthier desserts or high protein recipes, this is an excellent machine and one I now use far more often than I expected.

I’ve been using the Ninja CREAMi for several weeks now, and it has quickly become one of the most-used appliances in my kitchen. I purchased it primarily to make homemade ice cream, but I’ve since experimented with sorbets, milkshakes, frozen yogurt, and protein ice cream, and the machine has performed exceptionally well across all of them. What impressed me most is the texture. The first time I used it, I was surprised at how creamy and smooth the finished product was, especially compared to other homemade frozen desserts I’ve made in the past. The “Re-Spin” function is particularly useful when a mixture comes out slightly crumbly after the first cycle, transforming it into a rich, scoopable consistency. The machine itself feels sturdy and well-built. Setup was straightforward, and the included containers make it easy to prepare multiple flavors in advance. I appreciate being able to control the ingredients, which allows me to make healthier versions with less sugar as well as more indulgent recipes when I want a traditional ice cream experience. One feature I didn’t expect to use as much as I do is the Mix-In program. Adding chocolate chips, cookie pieces, nuts, or fruit after the initial processing gives the final product a premium, store-bought feel. The machine distributes mix-ins surprisingly evenly without over-processing them. A few things prospective buyers should know: the containers need to be frozen for approximately 24 hours before processing, so some planning ahead is required. The machine is also somewhat loud while running, although the processing cycle is relatively short and the results make it worthwhile. Cleaning has been simple so far. The removable components are easy to wash, and I haven’t experienced any issues with residue buildup or lingering odors. Overall, this has exceeded my expectations. If you enjoy frozen desserts and like experimenting with recipes, the Ninja CREAMi offers excellent versatility and consistently delivers high-quality results. It has saved me numerous trips to the ice cream shop and has become a fun way to create customized treats for family and friends.

I’ll admit, I bought the Ninja CREAMi after seeing an advert, and despite my better judgment telling me it might be another kitchen gadget that gathers dust, I took the plunge. It turned out to be the best decision I’ve made for my kitchen. Why It’s a Winner: • Complete Control: My main goal was to make ice cream without all the additives and preservatives found in store-bought tubs. With this, I know exactly what’s going in. • Health-Conscious & Guilt-Free: I’m currently following a healthy eating plan, and this machine fits perfectly. I can create low-calorie, high-protein, or fruit-based treats that taste indulgent but are totally guilt-free. • Versatility: It makes the best ice creams and milkshakes I’ve ever had at home. Being able to customize the flavors to exactly what I’m craving is a total luxury. • Ease of Use: Even though it’s a powerful machine, the process is straightforward, and the results are consistently creamy. Final Verdict: If you’re on the fence about the cost, let me tell you—it is absolutely worth the money. It’s rare to find something that helps you stay on track with your health goals while feeling like you’re having a massive treat every day. A total winner!

So I wanted this to turn just fruit into sorbet, and oh my does it do it, iv had it a few days and love it, i tried fresh melon and oranges,I mushed the fruit in the creami pot so the juice comes out and froze it overnight, next day I ran it in the creami once then added tiny bit of filtered water and respan and it was perfect, now what i do is buy cheaper frozen fruit like blueberries from Aldi , I ran them through a blender first then mush them into to the creami pot run it on sorbet setting and add tiny bit water and respin and it turns out perfect , iv done the same with frozen strawberries and u dont have to freeze overnight, its healthy and much nicer way of eating fruit and felling like its a treat. My partner went and got some Cornish ice cream, full fat milk and Oreo cookies and put it into the creami pot and ran it on the milk shake setting and it made a perfect milk shake that you would pay a lot for out somewhere, only thing we have not done yet is make our own ice cream .so its so much more than an ice cream machine and is a good choice for healthy and none healthy treats

I waited a year to write a review. I use this all the time. Took a little while to get used to it but now its second nature. My kids have a food intolerance to tannins that mean that pretty much all commercially produced ice cream is no good for them so this is a God send. I find if I follow the recipes exactly then the recipes come out perfect every time. Ive made perfect ice cream, gelato and sorbets, as nice as a gelataria. the sorbets have a similar consistency to ice cream, i love them. The milkshake recipes come out thick and ice-creamy like what you would get in a restuarant. Only thing I found disappointing is that I had hoped to make low sugar recipes but the sugar is an important component as it is an anti-freeze. But I've embraced it because the ice cream is so rich and decadent that you only need a small portion to be satisfied. There is a large Ninja community on Facebook where people have successfully made recipes using various sweeteners, I havent tried it personally but its there as an option. Some of the Ninja sorbet recipes sich as the watermelon dont have much added sugar anyway.

this is a seriously good piece of kit, did wonder whether it would be one of thos electronic items destined to gather dust in the cupboard - but no, this is a game changer, I am using it for high protein ice creams, made with yoghurt, protein powder and protein milk drinks - plenty of recipes on youtube - I don't especially like yoghuty but it's high in protein, and the ice cream is really delicious. The item arrived on time, but was advertised with three ice cream tubs, the pack ony had two, a quick message to Amazon and they quickly issued a credit to buy a new tub - impressive !

The promise of a ninja creami is so good, homemade ice cream, it can be low calorie, high protein, you name it, just on demand any time, the reality is very different, and it has been full of issues. The first issue which was a complete deal breaker for me, is that the spinning blade will rub against the ice cream container as it goes up and down and fragment off shards of plastic into the ice cream. They'll be everywhere and you can eat them without even noticing, until you see all of the scratches on the edges of the container and you start paying attention, you'll see that little bits of plastic are throughout the entire pint of ice cream. I contacted Ninja directly about this and it was a real hassle to get them to do anything, which I thought was crazy? for repeated plastic in my food? anyway they refused to refund or replace my machine, and instead sent me some new containers and a new blade. So I tried again and I got exactly the same issue... So I stopped using it completely because of that, but my girlfriend was undeterred. That was until last night where she decided she wanted some ice cream, plugged it in and put it to work and the machine basically imploded. The blade span all the way down to the bottom, then continued spinning, until it was lodged in the plastic beneath the container, it kept spinning and spinning until it was at the point where the arm at the top of the machine buckled and the whole thing crumpled and kept spinning until I physically unplugged it from the mains and now I am left with a melted fragmented pile of junk plastic in the middle of my kitchen, with a contorted melted container of ice cream in the middle of it... Anyway, I contacted Amazon instead of Ninja this time and they have given me a refund if I return the broken machine, so I'm loading this piece of rubbish into the Box and sending it back as we speak. It's been a 10 month long absolute terrible experience that I wouldn't wish upon anyone.

I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday, he’s a very clean eating, healthy guy who wanted to get more protein and keep things low calorie, but also have a little sweet treat. He had been eyeing this for ages, but was reluctant to spend the money on it. So, being the selfless girlfriend that I am, I bought it for him with no ulterior motive whatsoever. Did I immediately demand an ice cream, having already bought dime bars just for the occasion? Yes. But, that’s beside the point. Regardless, the ice cream having is not immediate and you do need a couple things first. I’d recommend buying a few extra tubs first of all, you can pick some up for about 15 quid. Secondly, you’ll need xanthan gum, which is a thickener. Third, protein powder. My boyfriend uses filtered milk as the protein is higher, but I think that’s optional. You’ll need to prepare your tubs, and then freeze them for 24 hours before you can enjoy the ice cream, I was very unhappy about this, as I had envisioned that it contained some kind of quantum supercooler which would instantly freeze the mixture, however ninja appear to have overlooked this feature. Anyway, after this, you pop your tub in and turn it on, and then use earmuffs, because this thing is loud. I genuinely thought he was blending up nuts and bolts instead of milk. It takes maybe 90 seconds of roaring in your ears - but my god, when it’s done, it’s a McFlurry. Soft, creamy goodness. My boyfriend can make a tub of vanilla ice cream with a ton of protein and some chocolate thrown in for good measure that sits at under 400 calories for the entire tub. If you want to eat healthier but need a little sweet treat to keep you on track, don’t hesitate. Yes, it’s expensive, and yes you could get a cheaper replica, but I wouldn’t shirk on quality honestly. With this you know it’s good, you know what you’re getting, and you know it’s reliable. Cleaning is fairly easy, as there aren’t many removable parts, there’s also plenty of recipes online and I’m sure you can reel off 40 different chocolate combinations you want to try right now. I know I did. 10/10.

Excellent but loud. Definitely great for ice cream lovers.

Brilliant product and easy to use.

Literally, magic. All the reviews, YouTube videos, things you're reading.... I was sceptical... its all true. This thing makes ice cream better than what you can buy in the store... its so fresh, its so tasty, its literally from another dimension. I made honey ice cream, vanilla ice cream, choc chip ice cream... even chopped up a snickers and 'mixed it in' to a choc peanut ice cream... its incredible you can make anything you can think of into ice cream... Threw a banana, cream, milk, xylitol into a cup, froze it, BAM ice cream. did the same with strawberries... was amazing there is no end to what you can make with it.

It dosent really make icecream as much as icecles

excellent
