Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker, for Gelato, Mix-ins, Milkshakes, Sorbet, Smoothie Bowls & More, 7 One-Touch Programs, with (2) Pint Containers & Lids, Compact Size, Perfect for Kids, Silver

I'm really impressed with the Ninja Creami...! I have another ice cream maker, but it's the kind where you have to freeze the bowl-- and to be honest it just never worked that well for me (constantly had to scrape the sides) plus it took up a lot of space in my freezer. So I saw the Ninja Creami on YouTube and was convinced enough to order one. I just made my first frozen yogurt pints and wow! they all came out GREAT. I'm a seasoned cook, so I'm inventing my own recipes for gelato, ice cream, custard, and frozen yogurt. The Creami is easy to operate and a breeze to clean the paddle and lid (these are the only things that need to be washed after using the unit-- and of course the pint jar when you're done eating your frozen treat). It is NOT a "messy" machine at all, just the opposite. I read that some reviewers have said the machine is too loud. I have not found this the case at all-- it just sounds like a blender. I was bracing for earplugs when I first turned it on, but was pleasantly surprised that it was no louder than a typical kitchen blender. While the paddle is rotating down, the machine is very stable with no vibrations-- rock solid. So far I've made chocolate frozen yogurt, pineapple frozen yogurt, coconut ice cream, and maple vanilla cinnamon custard ice cream. These have all been my own recipes and they have all come out super delicious and creamy. A tip: buy yourself more of the pint containers-- spend an hour making different mixes and then freeze in bulk to always have a frozen container ready to pop in the machine. I can already tell that this is going to be a frequently used appliance in my kitchen! A-plus, highly recommend! UPDATE: The more I use this machine the more I love it. Everyone who tastes my frozen creations says it's the best thing they've ever had. I'm having an absolute blast coming up with new and unusual flavors...Orange Creamsicle, Cafe au lait frozen yogurt, Basil-infused Lemon sherbet, Black licorice gelato, Mocha Tofutti, Mint & Dark Chocolate Chip frozen yogurt, Honey Blueberry "tofutti" gelato, Balsamic Mixed Berry frozen yogurt, Pumpkin Spice custard, Lemon Cheesecake gelato, Strawberry Shortcake frozen yogurt, Black Cherry Pie gelato, and Lavendar-infused Honey Strawberry gelato are some of the many flavors I've come up with so far. There is one review on here stating that you can only use two fruits for sorbet with the Creami: bananas and oranges... this is FALSE!! You can use any fruit you want, just keep in mind that you need to blend whatever fruit you are using in with your base. The Cream cannot break up large chucks of solid frozen fruit. The fruit you use in the base can either be used fresh or you can reduce it on the stove with some sweetener of choice if you like. Either way, you WILL need to blend it in with your base before freezing the pint container. I've had a few potential buyers ask the same question-- "Do you need to put cream cheese in every recipe?" No, you do not!!! You can take, say, a regular sorbet fruit base and add a small amount of milk, plant based milk, silken tofu, half & half, yogurt, or cream cheese to make a creamy based sherbert/ice cream/gelato/tofutti/frozen yogurt. Silken tofu comes out especially creamy and I sneak a good chunk or two into most of my recipes. You can also add a tablespoon or two of instant pudding mix... regular or sugar-free. I mix my recipes up in my Nutribullet blender... I've used a sharpie to determine where a pint is on the large blending cup and I just add my ingredients until I come to that line, then I screw on the blade and blend it, then pour into a Creami's pint containers. This works great for me because I just eyeball my ingredients to taste. I really try to control sugar in my cooking so I just put enough in to slightly sweeten. You can use honey, agave syrup, brown rice syrup, maple syrup, sweetened condensed milk, and brown sugar as white sugar substitutes. The flavor combinations are limitless. Seriously, this machine turns out some of the best gelato, ice cream, and frozen yogurt that I've ever had!!

I have the silver Ninja Creami, and I REALLY love how sleek and modern it looks on my counter. The silver finish makes it feel high-quality and clean, and it blends in beautifully with the rest of my kitchen appliances. It doesn’t look bulky or out of place, which I really appreciate since I use it often. I think that appliances should stay out on the counter. My favorite thing to make in it is protein chocolate ice cream with collagen powder. It turns simple ingredients into something that honestly tastes like real ice cream, not “healthy” ice cream. It’s creamy and satisfying, and it makes getting extra protein in feel indulgent instead of forced. I often use it as an easy meal replacement because it keeps me full and tastes amazing at the same time. This is very easy to use as a meal prepping tool. One of my favorite parts is adding chocolate chips after spinning. Using the mix-in function gives the perfect texture contrast, and I love biting into little pieces of chocolate throughout. It makes the whole thing feel even more like traditional ice cream. There is definitely a learning curve. At first, I kept making the mistake of not letting the frozen pint sit out long enough before spinning it. I’ve found that if the container is fully frozen solid, I need to let it sit out for about 30 to 60 minutes to get the perfect texture. If I spin it straight from the freezer, it can come out way too thick or even powdery. Once I figured out the timing, the texture improved dramatically. It does take some trial and error to get used to. Sometimes I also add too much liquid like soy milk which makes the texture way too thin and watery. So....try to get a good recipe online. I also use non-dairy milk, and I’ve found that the “Lite Ice Cream” setting works best for that type of base. It consistently gives me a smoother, creamier result compared to other settings. The only real challenge I’ve had is when I try to use raspberries or other berries with seeds. The seeds don’t break down completely, and the texture isn’t as smooth as I’d like. I think that would require a more powerful blender before freezing the mixture to fully solve the issue. Overall, once you understand how to work with it and give the pint enough time to soften, the Ninja Creami is incredible. It’s perfect for protein desserts, easy meal replacements, and customizing flavors exactly how you want them. There’s a small adjustment period, but once you get it down, it’s absolutely worth it. 10/10 gift and we even got one for family after we got ours.

I have made three different recipes of ice cream since I got this Ninja Creami less than a week ago. I’ve made Butter Pecan, Coffee and Vanilla. I ordered extra containers before I even received the Creami. I’m glad I did. Might even order more. I want to make other flavors such as Mocha Almond Fudge. I watched a YouTube video. One man said the ice cream wasn’t much better than what you can buy at the store. Well, he needs to look for better recipes. I only made the ice cream recipes if they had heavy cream, sugar, and eggs. They’ve also had salt and vanilla in them but the first three are mandatory. You do have to freeze the recipe in the container for 24 hours before you put it in the machine but that takes minimal time. Long story short, yes, it’s fun to use, the consistency of the ice cream is perfect and it functions wonderfully. Easy to use, FANTASTIC tasting ice cream. I’ll never buy another box of ice cream again. This is perfect and in the long run will save us a lot of money. Also, it doesn’t make ½ gallon at a time (there’s only me and my husband) so the chances of freezer burn are almost nonexistent. This is a FANTASTIC machine and it works really well. I fits on the counter and it’s going to stay there. Not a big footprint at all. It’s a little bit expensive but I sure like it better than the Cuisinart. I like the container method rather than the freezer urn by 1000%. The package arrived damaged which was no fault of the seller but luckily, the unit works perfectly. To stay healthier and away from all those additives they put in food these days, this is one step closer to healthy food.

Original. Perfeito.

Awesome contrainers that fit I the Ninja Creami. Great price. Now I have extra to make ore flavors.

Genuine Creami pots that fit perfectly and work as intended. I have bought two sets of four at different times and all of them are excellent. Don’t waste your money on the non-genuine ones, they don’t fit properly and will damage your machine.
