    Part of the fun of the Ninja Creami is coming up with whatever recipe sounds good to you! It's really a game of trial and error. One pint might not turn out exactly as you had hoped, but the next 5 are going to be awesome!

    Once you have come up with a good base recipe and start to get the hang of the ins and outs of the machine, your ice cream journey will take off!

    You can literally make ice cream, or sorbet, or anything really, using your Ninja Creami! Let the fun begin!

    I hope the below FAQs make your ice cream journey even more fantastic than you thought it was going to be!

    Ninja Creami FAQ's

    Why is my ice cream dry and crumbly?

    Usually, if your ice cream comes out dry or crumbly it's due to one of the following reasons:
    *Your freezer is too cold. Try to adjust your freezer to be a little warmer or let your ice cream sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes before processing it.
    *Your recipe does not have enough fat in it. Try adding in a little bit of a higher fat dairy product to your recipe next time.
    *Your recipe may not have enough sugar in it. The less sugar in the recipe, the icier and crumblier the ice cream will be. Regular sugar, honey, or corn syrup can be used to increase the sugar content if desired.
    To help resolve this issue, after processing, add 1 tablespoon of dairy and then reprocess.

    Can I use frozen fruit in the Ninja Creami?

    Yes, you can. But, frozen fruit either needs to be thawed out before using, blended with the other ingredients, or have a liquid, like dairy added to the pint to fill in all of the gaps. You cannot only use frozen fruit as it could damage the machine.

    Why is there a greasy feel to my Ninja Creami ice cream?

    The heavy whipping cream has a tendency to turn greasy or almost butterlike when there is too much added or it is over-mixed. To prevent this from happening, use less heavy whipping cream or substitute it with half and half or milk.

    Why is there ice on the outside of my Ninja Creami ice cream?

    To melt the ice so that it doesn't affect the texture of the ice cream, microwave the pint for 10 seconds, run the pint under warm water, or thaw the pint for 10 minutes before processing.

    How long can I freeze my ice cream?

    It depends. If you are keeping the ice cream in the Ninja pint container with the lid sealed tightly and are freezing it in a cold freezer (between 9 degrees F and -7 degrees F), your ice cream will keep for several weeks, even months. However, if you transfer your ice cream to another container or freeze it in a freezer that is not quite as cold (or that is accessed a lot/door opened and closed often), the lifetime of your ice cream will decrease greatly to just a few days and you will likely end up with freezer-burned ice cream.

    What can I freeze in the Ninja Creami?

    All Ninja Creami mixtures need to have some fat, sugar, or dairy in it. This can come from the ingredients that are being used- watermelon already has sugar in it so you don't need to add more. You cannot freeze just water.

    Do I need to use cream cheese in the Ninja Creami recipes?

    No. You do not need to use cream cheese. But, you will need to use some other type of stabilizer or the ice cream will be soft.

    Can I use protein shakes in the Ninja Creami?

    Yes! You can! There are a ton of different recipes using protein shakes in the Ninja Creami Community on Facebook. Here's a link to the thread on these recipes.

    How do I make dole whip in the Ninja Creami?

    You can order Dole whip mix on Amazon. Check it out here. But, you can make something almost the same with canned pineapple. Here's my recipe for this.

    My canned fruit Ninja Creami recipe is not sweet enough. How do I make it sweeter?

    But canned fruit in heavy syrup instead of water or add a little extra sugar before freezing.

    How can I get a peanut butter ripple in my Ninja Creami?

    You can't really. The peanut butter will mix in fully. When the ice cream is finished processing, mix in peanut butter with a spoon.

    Can I use dairy and sugar substitutes in my Ninja Creami?

    Yes. You can. Some of the substitutes may create a less creamy texture though. A good substitute for dairy is coconut milk/cream.

    Why do people use pudding mix in the Ninja Creami?

    Adding 2 tablespoons of instant pudding mix (just the powder) helps thicken the ice cream up and adds a super creamy texture!

    Can I use pre-made pudding in the Ninja Creami?

    You can, but you cannot use it instead of the instant pudding mix in recipes. Instant pudding mix has much less volume, more flavor and a thickening agent that the premade pudding will not provide.

    What can I use instead of instant pudding outside of the US?

    Angel Delight is similar to instant pudding mix in the US.

    What can I use instead of instant pudding?

    Modified corn starch such as EZ Gel or Clear Gel.

    Do I need to freeze the Ninja Creami pint for 24 hours?

    According to Ninja Kitchen, yes. It takes 24 hours for the mixture to evenly freeze throughout. Many have frozen for a shorter time and been successful. However, doing so may void the warranty.

    Should I clean the lid on the Ninja Creami?

    Yes. Clean the lid by removing the blade and then soak the blade and lid in warm water with a splash of vinegar. Swoosh the lid around so that the water gets inside the hole that holds the blade. Open and close the blade hole while in the water to ensure that it all gets clean. You can also wash the lid and blade in the dishwasher, but inside the hole may not get clean.

    How do I clean the spindle on the Ninja Creami?

    The metal spindle is self-cleaning. If you would like to further clean it, do so by wiping it clean with a damp towel. Do not pull or bend the spindle.

    How do you remove the bump in the Ninja Creami ice cream?

    Thaw the ice cream on the counter for 10 minutes or use a warm spoon to flatten out the bump before processing it. Processing it with the bump may cause the machine to start to process at an angle and this can cause the machine to malfunction.

    Why are there cuts in the side of my Ninja Creami pint containers?

    Sometimes, the machine cuts at an angle and the blade cuts into the Ninja Creami pints. If this happens, do not eat the ice cream as it will have pieces of plastic in it. Call Ninja Kitchen at 1-866-826-6941 or contact them on their Facebook page to resolve the issue.

    How do I make the ice cream creamier?

    Add a fresh banana. Bananas do great things for the texture! But, you can taste the banana flavor. Or, re-spin the treat.

    What's a good base recipe for the Ninja Creami?

    I usually start out with my recipe for Ninja Creami Vanilla Bean iced cream and modify it to add different flavors and mix-ins.

    Where can I buy more Ninja Creami pints?

    Amazon and Kohls seem to be the places that have them in stock the most often and for the lowest price. Find them on Amazon here and on Kohls here.

    How many versions are there of the Ninja Creami?

    There are 2 different machines. One that is a 7 in 1 and one that is a 5 in 1. The 5 in 1 does not have the gelato or smoothie bowl option. Otherwise, they are the same. Different stores sell different model numbers but these model numbers only change due to the number of pint containers that are included and the store that you buy it at. But, there are only 2 different machines.

    What do I do with Ninja Creami leftovers?

    Smooth out the top of the ice cream and put it back in the freezer. Freeze until hard and then process again on the same initial process that you used.

    What is re-spin used for?

    Re-spin is used to re-spin a treat that has already been processed and is soft. If you have re-frozen an already spun treat, process on the original option after removing from the freezer. Re-spin is only used for treats that have already been processed and not added back to the freezer.

    How much Lorann super strength oils should I add to my Ninja Creami ice cream?

    Lorann recommends ⅛-1/4 teaspoon per pint. Modify based on your personal preferences.

      Can you just make regular ice cream recipe mix for use in the Ninja Cremi? Mostly just eat vanilla or chocolate ice cream. I know it requires eggs. Just want to make regular ice cream for now to test the machines capabilities for that. Thank you in advance for answering. Cannot find this question anywhere else.

        Hi Marilyn- It depends. So, the Creami works differently than most ic ice cream makers. It does not churn the same way that others do. So, generally speaking, you can use the same recipes. However, you will likely need to make a couple of substitutions and adjust when some of the ingredients are added. For example, using too much heavy cream in the Creami turns the ice cream to almost a butterlike consistency and creates a greasy film. So, use less heavy cream or sub some of it for milk or half and half. Also, with a traditional ice cream maker, you can add things like chocolate chips during the churning process. You cannot add chocolate chips until after you have frozen and spun the ice cream or it will completely blend in the chocolate chips until they are no longer chips. Many do use tempered eggs in their ice cream bases. The use of the eggs in the creami should be no problem and should not do anything strange to the consistency.
