Dry or Crumbly Ninja Creami Ice Cream? Here’s How to Fix It

One of the most common “issues” with making ice cream in the Ninja Creami is that the consistency or texture can be very dry and crumbly, instead of creami.

Don’t panic! It’s usually a really easy fix. Once you get the hang of how to fix it, your Ninja Creami creations will be creamy and smooth, just like you’d expect.

This is probably the most common issue with Ninja Creami recipes.

If your ice cream looks like this…don’t panic! It’s COMPLETELY normal and happens all of the time. It’s super easy to fix it so that it becomes nice and creamy!

What to do if the ice cream is super dry and powdery, like sand…

1. If your ice cream looks super dry, like powder or sand, add a tablespoon or two of liquid. You can use milk, cream, water, juice, protein shake…just about ANY liquid. 
2. Put the lid back on and put it back in the Ninja Creami and hit the RESPIN button.  You might have to do this a couple of times, depending on what your base ingredients are, freezer temperature, or the desired consistency.

What to do if the ice cream looks like little balls of ice cream…

1. If your ice cream looks more like little balls of ice cream and less like sand, there’s usually no need to add any additional liquid, but you do need to respin it.  So, put the lid back on, put it in the machine, and push the RESPIN button.  You may have to do this a couple of times to make it creamy.
