While I’m a frequent reviewer of laptops and other computer-y type things, the gadgets that I care about the most are the ones I actually use on a regular basis in my day-to-day life. This year, I got big into showing off important memories with a digital picture frame, and into nostalgic handheld gaming with my first Anbernic device. But out of all the upgrades I’ve made to my life this year, the Ninja Creami was my easy favorite.
What is the Ninja Creami?
Plus, you can get a bit more creative with your ingredients than with a traditional ice cream maker, since your mixture doesn't need to thicken while being churned. In short, it's a great machine for making custom desserts whenever you get the urge. Read on here for more on how exactly this all works, but for now, let's get into just how much of a difference it's made in my life this year. I got it as a gift, but it's quickly become indispensable in my kitchen.

But let’s walk through the actual process of making ice cream with the Creami, just to really drive it home.
Pull pre-frozen Ninja Creami pint out of freezer
Press button for your preferred ice cream program and wait two to five minutes.
As for cleanup, the pints, lid, and blade are dishwasher safe, so fuggedaboutit.
It’s customizable
The thing that actually made me get a Ninja Creami is protein ice cream, or ice cream where protein powder is the chief contributor to your flavor. This is harder to make in a more traditional ice cream maker, but because of how the Ninja Creami mixes its ice cream together, it’s dead simple to make with it. It’s actually 90% of what I use the Creami for. This allows me to satisfy my sweet tooth while generally keeping calorie counts lower than a full fat ice cream would. You can still make that in the Ninja Creami, but I’ve had satisfying results with just 2% milk, protein power, and my secret ingredient—sugar free Jell-O.
It saves milk
I’m not always great at using up milk ahead of its expiration date, but I hate the idea of dumping it down the drain. The Ninja Creami makes for easy recipes to freeze milk that’s about to go bad, as each recipe calls for about 2 cups of the stuff. Granted, I like to use 1 cup of cow milk and 1 cup of almond milk, since almond milk provides some flavor and an extra smooth texture, but you can totally get away with just one or the other. Overall, the Ninja Creami has made me much less wasteful with my milk, even as I’m using it more often.
Boozy milkshakes!
Plus, there are also programs for making other desserts like sorbets, so while I mostly like to use the Creami for ice cream, there are a lot of other ways to get creative with this thing.
My favorite Ninja Creami recipe

My husband’s a big fan of Häagen-Dazs’ Dulce de Leche ice cream, and using a special kind of Dulce de Leche protein powder that only one company seems to make, we’ve been able to make a pretty convincing but much healthier dupe of it (for that, use vanilla Jell-O instead of what I’m about to suggest). However, we’ve discovered that Dulce de Leche also goes very well with chocolate, and that’s a mixture you’re unlikely to find unless you make it yourself. This is the recipe that really sold me on the Ninja Creami, and once you try it, I think you'll understand.
Roughly 1 cup sweetened almond milk (leave enough room for your powders)
1 tbsp sugar free chocolate fudge Jell-O powder
Use the Lite Ice Cream setting to process. After processing, optionally add mix-ins of your choice. My favorite for Dulce Chocolate ice cream are Kit-Kats and Reese’s Thins. Both are best slightly pre-crushed before being added to your ice cream.
Which Ninja Creami should you get?

Pints are two cups and there are fewer program presets than on other models, but it's what I'd recommend to most people.
Finally, if you like soft serve ice cream, there's the Ninja Creami Swirl. This normally costs $350, and is a lot like the standard Ninja Creami, but also comes with a dispenser for swirling out your ice cream into a cone or bowl like you're at an ice cream shop. It's also got a few extra programs that make it easier to make ice cream with a soft serve consistency, but with the right knowhow, you can also do that with every Creami model.
