Hello everyone! Today I would like to introduce you to the Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker which is currently experiencing an enormous hype in the kitchen world. You have already told me about your first experiences, you see them quite often in advertisements - so you can't help but wonder what this device is all about. In addition to a detailed description of the machine itself, tips and Ninja Creami recipes, I will also point out the advantages of our special Eis-Perfecto Ingredients that make making ice cream yourself even easier and more enjoyable with this device.
How does the Ninja ice cream maker work?
It is fundamentally different from conventional ice cream makers. While traditional devices continuously stir the ingredients during the freezing process, the Ninja ice cream maker first completely freezes the mixture and then processes it into creamy ice cream. This innovative process is intended to prevent the formation of ice crystals and ensure a perfect consistency. But how does it work exactly and what experiences do users have with this technology?
The basis of Ninja Creami recipes is a prepared base of ingredients that is frozen in a special container. After completely freezing, the mass is crushed and mixed with a powerful motor, resulting in a creamy ice cream with a fine texture without ice crystals.
Good ice cream with a few weaknesses!
It is remarkably easy to use and the quality of the ice cream is surprisingly good. You get a fine texture and the ice crystals are finer than with a normal household ice cream maker in this price range, which is a clear plus point for me. Although it is not in the league of high-quality household machines such as those from Musso or Cube, it is still a bit better than the machines from Springlane, Unold and Co.
However, I also see a few weak points that I don't like and that I would like to go into in more detail here. Firstly, I think that the ice cream from the Creami is a bit too soft for immediate consumption, because too much heat gets into the ice cream during preparation. It could be a bit firmer and have more stability. The fact that you have to rework the ice cream every time after freezing is also not ideal. This is particularly time-consuming if you want to create an ice cream sundae with several different types of ice cream, for example, because you first have to whip up each type of ice cream again in order to take out just one scoop for the sundae. I find this quite cumbersome, especially since the process takes 2-3 minutes for each type of ice cream. But here come our Eis-Perfecto Recipes come into play…

Sounds good, doesn't it? It is and in our ice cream blog there are a lot of ideal options for Ninja Creami recipes.
This is how I make ice cream with the Ninja Creami
I prepare my ice cream mix in the traditional way, like with any other ice cream maker. However, instead of putting it in the ice cream maker, like with normal ice cream makers, the ice cream mix is frozen in the Creami container for 24 hours. After freezing, I use the Gelato program to work up the ice cream. Then I use the re-spin again to achieve the best possible creaminess. This also helps to work the ice cream residue that settles on the edge and bottom of the container after scraping back into the ice cream so that no ice crystal pieces are created. This way you can enjoy the ice cream straight away. However, it is best to freeze the ice cream again for 24 hours afterwards. This extra time improves the creaminess even more and the ice cream becomes a little firmer.

Conclusion and outlook
It is a good machine that you can use to make delicious, creamy ice cream at home. If you are happy with the 500 ml volume, you will get an ice cream quality that, in terms of the fineness of the ice crystals, is above average for classic household ice cream machines in this price segment. That is a plus point for me. However, we find it a bit cumbersome to use in certain situations (see above), as the frozen base has to be whipped up again and again.
Complemented by our Eis-PerfectoHowever, these weak points are well balanced out by the use of the right ingredients. Thanks to our ice cream recipes, the experience of making your own ice cream with the Ninja Creami is much easier and less complicated, as there is no need to repeatedly whip it.

It should also be mentioned, however, that the ice cream is a little more compact and therefore seems a little colder than from a classic ice cream maker. All in all, I can recommend it!
