This is worth it...the cost of vegan ice cream is ridiculous. To make your own is going to be a money saver, plus you can create your own flavor.

[@denise_abe]

That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm sick of paying so much for healthier or vegan ice cream.

Frozen straberrys and coconut milk is the best.

I wondered if Ninja would make one that fits.

[@scottvasnik]

Thawing your pints is a good tip! I have found that running mine under hot water in the sink for about 40 seconds helps a lot. Keep up the great work!

[@TalkToSamson]

It says right in the booklet “If your freezer is set to a very cold temperature, the ice cream/gelato may look crumbly. If this occurs, select re-spin to process the mixture a little bit more.” I don’t mean this to be rude - I _really_ don’t - but some of these ”problems” could easily be avoided if people would just pay closer attention to the instructions…

[@iampaulzy]

And therein justifies the need for these videos: people don't read. I got frustrated reading reviews of the Ninji CREAMi from people complaining about issues that never would have happened if they just read the manual and followed the instructions.

[@Lisa.Childs]

Agreed :) But it's very rare people will take the time and energy to read an entire book about a new appliance. I always recommend reading the manual first! But if people did that for everything, half of youtube would be obsolete;)

[@bgueberdenteich5206]

It is a good idea to read the instructions more than ounce.

[@davidbendall7919]

Powdered sugar works better than granulated. Sweeteners can be dissolved in a small amount of hot water or other hot fluid to improve texture and distribution.

One of my problems when i first started was when i was using heavy whipping cream it would basically turn into butter in the machine and id have a greasy film on the roof of my mouth. Ive switched to using half & half and almond milk with pudding mixes and it works great.

[@Zynn16]

Thanks for this comment. I just bought mine last week, and the second flavor entries to make was vanilla ice cream. I had that film in my mouth and wondered why. Plus, the consistently was off. I will switch to half and half. I also bought some zantham gum for smoothness. However, the peach sorbet I made was perfect 👌🏾.

[@theneverending9319]

Thank you! Just ordered one.

[@TonyNguyen-zq8im]

[@richardmace4609]

I have a Ninja Blender/Food processor system with blender cups. I just mix all of the ingredients on low for about 15 seconds then pour it into the Ninja Creami pint containers. Easy peasy, everything is mixed thoroughly. I just got my Ninja Creami 11-N-1, so I take them out of the freezer tonight to see how they turned out. I'll let them sit out for 10 minutes first before using my Ninja Creami. I'm excited to see the results. One was made the regular way with Cocoa Powder, the other was made with Cookies and Cream Whey protein mixed with Almond milk.

[@buckchum4314]

Different models come with different amounts of pints. Some refurbished come with no pints, some come with 2, some with 3, and mine bought on QVC came with 5. There are a lot of groups that share tips and recipes on Facebook for various diets. Keto ice cream, low carb, full fat recipes, UK ingredients...natural ingredients etc. Thank you for mentioning to not use plastic bags. Do the math on them too. Bags are not free. If you make dozens of pints per month like me the cost of bags can add up and eventually you will pay more in bags than you would have just by buying a 4 pack of extra pints. One tip on not ending up with a hump in the middle is if you freeze them overnight without a lid they rarely get a large hump in the middle. I do this now and add the lid in the morning to keep them fresh. Great tips. Thanks for the video. The Ninja Creami is the best ice cream maker I have ever owned.

[@susansays]

Your Ninja Creami videos are so helpful! You have convinced me to get one. (I'm still thinking about which model I want.) I have a question/video suggestion: I like smooth ice cream, so the hard mix-in options don't appeal to me. But I love swirled ice creams - like say swirled with chocolate sauce or caramel sauce. My idea is: can you test using a soft mix-in (like say a thick chocolate sauce) to see how that would work? Or maybe I'm just being silly and I should just hand-mix/swirl those soft/liquid-y types of add-ins myself?

Edit: ok so I’ll get 3 x 709ml Ice Cream Tubs with 3 x lids. I hope that’ll suffice 🤞🏽🤞🏽😊.

[@jamessmall6625]

I find that if you use a 4 oz size ramekin bottom to press down in the pint before the ingredients get too hard it's a great way to get the contents of the container perfectly flat.

[@davidbendall7919]

I use the bottom of a glass and plastic wrap on top of the ingredient to be frozen. The plastic wrap helps to keep it flat and avoid freezer tastes. Shaking it to settle contents also helps.

[@Wayf4rer]

Great idea

[@jassonsw]

First time I used it I did frozen yoghurt but I used the Ice Cream setting instead of the Light Ice Cream. Lots of ice crystals, more like granita and not smooth at all. Make sure you use the correct setting!

[@mpoharper]

Did you try respinning?

[@sucraloss]

The knock off pints work well too if you can't find official ones. Just check and make sure it's compatible with your specific model.

Lisa you’re an excellent teacher in all your videos and I want you to know that you are “nicely” addictive… I just bought a Ninja Creami for my Christmas gift to myself! I love it! Your advice is is very valuable for all new users especially the freezing by placing the container on a flat surface and for the need to level off any lumps and bumps before processing…my big freezer freezes everything except ice cream😱…but it does for these little pints, thanks heavens…Merry Christmas to you and your family, kiddo!!!

Can you microwave your pints to soften the ice cream rather than waiting for it to soften while sitting out? It definitely takes longer than 15 minutes for me. 😢

[@vickirickman9373]

Thank you so much for tips 1st one definitely helpful so far Leave out on counter for 10 min before spin 😊👍 Muchhhhhhh better Thank u again

[@isabisa1227]

I have a question you mentioned that the base has to be hugging the pint when processing. But won’t leave it to thaw cause the sites to melt?? I recently experienced my ninja creamy breeze breaking I’m just asking so I don’t need to get another replacement

[@williamsampson4926]

Awesome just about to use mine for the first time. I was going to stick it in after 24 hours so would have made that mistake. Awesome thanks for preventing me from a WTF moment.

[@WittyTzipporah]

You'd think they'd have a "leveling" setting to pre-process...so many of these have to do with freezing it flat...

[@pabeader1941]

Thawing is not required but makes a better result. Flatten before refreeze is good. Flat freezing is good. The bulge is NOT an issue if it's in the middle. Microwave cream cheese for like 10 seconds is sufficient.

[@joannereadman2735]

So so happy i found you :)

I defrost it, make it flat, and still have issues with blade falling off or getting knocked off. I’ve already had to use the warranty. They sent me a whole new machine and I had buy a new blade. Ive been even more careful, making sure everything is perfect(which has increased my prep time) and still the blade gives me problems.

[@ChristineSHUM22]

My just not working. The blade and everything I readjusted. And thaw the ice cream when I set in everything. Click the button when it starts just noises, but filling just won't mix!! I checked it with my flashlight when it was still processing, the blade work. But not exactly the way you show. 1st, I thought maybe i did not fill up full enough? But I saw some ppl never fill that much and still work. What went wrong?

[@mlinker5208]

If you make ice cream with just plant milk and flavoring,do you have to do the 4 minute light ice cream setting ,or can you use the two minute regular ice cream setting, will it damage the machine?.

[@kyliefan7]

You should use the light button for the better product but I don’t think using any of the buttons will damage the machine unless you do something they tell you not to.

[@reemab4984]

Can I only do protein milk. I don’t have access to pudding mix

[@n9ne]

how do you clean the shaft that goes down in the ice cream after it goes back inside the machine? i see posts of people saying they can see drippings come out, and when they fill it was warm water the water turns dirty after one pass. gross! gross! gross!

[@carlcat]

Rather than respin I microwave my container for 6 to 7 seconds after taking it out of the freezer. I get perfectly creamy results every time.

[@thevagabondsageinthewoods]

I an relieved I did not receive one of these this year. I may have used it once ir twice for the novelty, but with all my other choices if small appliances in my kitchen, I really don’t think it would be worth the storage space for me. I hope everyone else enjoys theirs however. ❤

[@yvettemorris7295]

It’s a wonderful toy

[@lorim.4136]

I too have a tiny kitchen - replete with 3/4-sized major appliances (i.e. 16 cu ft fridge, 24 in range, 18 in dishwasher). With small appliances, well ... we just cannot run out and get everything, for sure. However, if you can (and do) use it frequently it will be worth the purchase and the space. As keto ice creams are expensive and not all that good while only being high in calories in the marketplace, there is a return on the investment for me. I can have ice cream fairly often if the pint is less than 200 calories or if using a meal replacement shake base. Obviously, if you're not going to use it, then it's not worth either.

[@thevagabondsageinthewoods]

@@lorim.4136 very true!! The way I do it personally is I have baked goods during the winter months and iced treats in the heat of summer. So I store my ice cream maker and bring down the bread machine overwinter and opposite in summer. I still like my old-fashioned ice cream so I think I’ll just stick with that until I am more impressed with a future appliance! Have a fantastic day friend! 👋

[@TinyTomatoTribe]

Totally agree! We have one but we use it very often because we have so many food allergies that this gives my kids ice cream like normal diets! Dairy/gluten/soy/rs free ice creams are ridiculously priced and so hard to find yummy. We have about 15 recipes so far that are regulars for us!

[@kyliefan7]

Keep in there as long as you want! They will still work!

[@yawns3004]

Has anyone tried adding a little milk before the first spin? Everyone recommends it on the second spin, but I imagine it would be easier on the blades to have some on the first spin also. Lmk!

[@AoifeMysthart]

I’m a bit confused. I got mine today and saw it says not to use frozen fruit but at the same time it says to freeze the pint before using the machine. So that would freeze the fruit right? Just wondering if I can use frozen fruit or not?

[@peaceful3250]

Fruit should be chopped small. Also it can be macerated for a while with sweetener before completing the recipe. Just don't make the fruit too chunky and it's perfectly okay.

[@andgnd3674]

one question: if you use some sort of emulgator like icreampowder and then get it to a nice texture if you then refreeze it will the texture still be creamy or do you need another spin

[@edmaxwell257]

I use an amazing ice cream base recipe that has cremodan 30 in it. I rarely have to do a respin. Only for certain flavors, like huitlacoche. But even then, they always come out perfect after a respin!

[@Lisa.Childs]

In my experience, I always have to respin once or twice to get the perfect texture. Not sure on the powder.

[@georgiehakney7385]

I’ve only just got the Ninja Creami but it’s not that my mixture is crumbly but the ice cream is almost curdled. I’ve tried respin with liquid. Do you have any suggestions?

[@Zynn16]

I tried vanilla ice cream and it was crumbly even after a respin. I did it like the directions said and it came out wrong.

[@Tropigal05]

What about too soft or soupy ice cream?

[@lorim.4136]

Definitely agree to get more containers! However, the recipe book is utterly useless for keto (strict, dirty or clean). None of the recipes entirely use a non-caloric sweetener, its a blend of cane sugar and/or agave nectar along with something else for their "lite" versions. None of them use protein powders or whole egg bases. The various alternate sweeteners all behave differently for the various bases, which all alter the amount of flavoring or any gums and fibers. Fortunately, most batches can be salvaged by adding additional flavorings and sweetener at re-spin when trying to figure this out. I would suggest to not fill to the max fill line until you know how your mix may spin as some fluff up and crawl up the driver shaft while others make deep well with the mix clinging to the inside perimeter for the whole container. If you are an ice cream lover who wants to have a very low carb (< 6g net) and sometimes very low calorie (about 150) almost pint in one go; alternatively lower protein higher fat/calories while still low carb - this is the appliance to do it. You just have to laboriously find different recipes on line or make your own expensive mistakes.

Thanks! If your machine is making unusual sounds, I'd troubleshoot on the creami app. It's very helpful. That, or something is off balance on teh blade and it's causing the machine to work extra hard. If your base is too frozen, let it sit out for about 5-10 minutes or microwave for 10 seconds and that'll help. As for what I know, It's my job to experiment and educate :) I love research!
