CREAMi Ice Cream Maker & Frozen Dessert Maker with 3 Tubs, 7 Programs, Makes Ice Cream, Gelato, Sorbet, Smoothie Bowl, Milkshakes and more, Black/Silver, Makes 1.4L of Ice Cream, NC300UK

I’ve agonised over buying this. I’ve heard really mixed reviews. I specifically wanted this machine to make frozen yoghurt and healthy dessert options and this is where I’ve heard really mixed opinions on whether it can make creamy frozen yoghurt or whether it’s just churns out inedible ice filled frozen desserts. I decided to risk it and see what it could do. I’ve made quite a few frozen yoghurt/healthy desserts over Christmas including using low fat Greek fage yoghurt (5% fat) The results are amazingly good. Creamy frozen yoghurt that tastes just like ice cream but without all the calories. I read somewhere that to stop ice crystals forming in lower fat desserts being made in the creami you should add xanthan gum. I got a huge tub of this off Amazon very cheaply. I’ve added a quarter of a teaspoon to approx 450 to 500g of yoghurt before putting it in the creami. Ive mixed it well using a stand mixer and then frozen the mixture. I’ve used the lite ice cream setting for frozen yoghurt and I’ve used the re-spin feature when the frozen yoghurt has come out a little powdery. I’ve only needed to do this once. I’ve got delicious creamy frozen yoghurt each time I’ve used it and I’m delighted. It’s very easy to use. I was worried about the noise, yes it’s a bit noisy but the machine only tends to run for a couple of minutes. It’s a great gadget and I’ve had a lot of fun trying new things in it. Highly recommended.

Game-Changer for Dessert Lovers! 🍦 The Ninja Ice Cream Maker has completely transformed dessert time in our house! It’s not just an ice cream maker—it’s a full-on frozen treat machine. From creamy gelato to fruity sorbets, milkshakes, and even protein-packed frozen yoghurts, this thing does it all. Setup was a breeze, and the instructions were super clear. I love how easy it is to customise recipes—whether I’m craving something indulgent or a low-sugar alternative, it delivers every time. The texture is unbelievably smooth, just like the real deal from an ice cream parlour. One of the best features is how quickly it can turn a frozen base into a perfect scoop. It’s ideal for families, dinner parties, or even just a late-night treat for one. Cleaning it is easy too, which makes using it regularly a no-brainer. If you’re on the fence—don’t be. This is hands-down one of the best kitchen gadgets I’ve ever owned. It’s fun, versatile, and a total crowd-pleaser. Ninja really knocked it out of the park with this one!

Been making loads of healthy recipes and filling up on them to stop me eating crap really happy with it it’s a great way to eat more veg using it as a base but covering the flavour with vanilla or chocolate powder

I waited a year to write a review. I use this all the time. Took a little while to get used to it but now its second nature. My kids have a food intolerance to tannins that mean that pretty much all commercially produced ice cream is no good for them so this is a God send. I find if I follow the recipes exactly then the recipes come out perfect every time. Ive made perfect ice cream, gelato and sorbets, as nice as a gelataria. the sorbets have a similar consistency to ice cream, i love them. The milkshake recipes come out thick and ice-creamy like what you would get in a restuarant. Only thing I found disappointing is that I had hoped to make low sugar recipes but the sugar is an important component as it is an anti-freeze. But I've embraced it because the ice cream is so rich and decadent that you only need a small portion to be satisfied. There is a large Ninja community on Facebook where people have successfully made recipes using various sweeteners, I havent tried it personally but its there as an option. Some of the Ninja sorbet recipes sich as the watermelon dont have much added sugar anyway.

Love this! So easy to use. I have only had this a week or two and so far I have made several sorbets and a couple of ice-creams I'm not a 'follow the recipe' type of person and so I have been going 'off piste' and making whatever I want. I took the time to read a lot of reviews on here so I nailed the sorbets from day 1. First of all despite what some say you do NOT have to add a lot of sugar as I read a couple of reviewers say. I bought this machine so that I could make healthy recipes for the most part. So far I have made - Watermelon from fresh (see pic) this only needed 1 tbsp of agave and some vanilla paste and a drop of lemon flavouring to give it umpf. All of my mixtures need a re-spin and I found that for sorbets a capful of vodka loosens the mix up without making it 'alcoholic' Grapefruit - used two tins for this. Added a mix in of candied peel which was terrific Black Cherry from tin Raspberry And Blackberry from fresh fruit. I needed 4 punnets for this and so it was very expensive. Added a cap of vodka and 2 tbsp maple syrup Rhubarb from tin, with a mix in of crystallised ginger Strawberry from fresh with 2 tbsp yoghurt, 2 tbsp maple syrup and some vanilla Raspberry Martini - 2 tins from M&S Mango - 2 tins Greek yoghurt - with added 2 tbsp maple syrup I tried one actual ice-cream but when I added some rum in the remix it split the cream and had to be given to the dogs! Very happy, easy to use, easy to clean, loud ok - whagt do you expect when shredding ice!

Love it so easy to use and makes lovely ice cream

The promise of a ninja creami is so good, homemade ice cream, it can be low calorie, high protein, you name it, just on demand any time, the reality is very different, and it has been full of issues. The first issue which was a complete deal breaker for me, is that the spinning blade will rub against the ice cream container as it goes up and down and fragment off shards of plastic into the ice cream. They'll be everywhere and you can eat them without even noticing, until you see all of the scratches on the edges of the container and you start paying attention, you'll see that little bits of plastic are throughout the entire pint of ice cream. I contacted Ninja directly about this and it was a real hassle to get them to do anything, which I thought was crazy? for repeated plastic in my food? anyway they refused to refund or replace my machine, and instead sent me some new containers and a new blade. So I tried again and I got exactly the same issue... So I stopped using it completely because of that, but my girlfriend was undeterred. That was until last night where she decided she wanted some ice cream, plugged it in and put it to work and the machine basically imploded. The blade span all the way down to the bottom, then continued spinning, until it was lodged in the plastic beneath the container, it kept spinning and spinning until it was at the point where the arm at the top of the machine buckled and the whole thing crumpled and kept spinning until I physically unplugged it from the mains and now I am left with a melted fragmented pile of junk plastic in the middle of my kitchen, with a contorted melted container of ice cream in the middle of it... Anyway, I contacted Amazon instead of Ninja this time and they have given me a refund if I return the broken machine, so I'm loading this piece of rubbish into the Box and sending it back as we speak. It's been a 10 month long absolute terrible experience that I wouldn't wish upon anyone.

Well this is absolutely brilliant it’s a bit loud when making things but that don’t stop it’s performance I made ice cream mixed it with all sorts and the milkshakes mixed in with Oreo biscuits is absolutely delicious I’ve got loads more to taste in it yet but don’t let the loudness put you off because this ninja is one too buy I promise you will not look back wow
