ICE CREAM TYPES

For a frozen treat to be qualified as ice cream, the mixture used to make the ice cream must be no less than 10% milkfat. The higher the fat, the creamier the texture.

Sorbet isn’t technically ice cream. Sorbet is its own category, we’re considering it loosely related to ice cream. Plus, we really wanted to sharesorbet recipes. You can also make sorbet in the Ninja Creami.

The Ninja Creami can make other types of frozen desserts as well.

WHAT IS A NINJA CREAMI

The Ninja Creami is a Ninja ice cream maker that helps you make different frozen desserts, like ice cream, sorbet, sherbets, gelato, milkshakes, etc. It works similar to a blender, but they don’t like to think of it that way.

HOW THE NINJA CREAMI WORKS

According to the Ninja ice cream maker manufacturer instructions, you first fill the pints with whatever ice cream or sorbet mixture you’ll be using and then freeze for 24 hours. Do you have to freeze it for 24 hours? Ninja says, Yes, it’s best to, otherwise it may not thicken.

After 24 hours remove the lid and place the pint into the ninja creami dock, and lock it into place. Select the mode you want and start it. When the mode is finished, the Ninja Creami will show that it’s finished.

If you decide to add any add-ins, you can add them in and press the mix button until they are mixed in.

That’s it. Pretty easy, right? The Ninja Creami does look a bit like a ninja ice cream maker married a blender, but we love how sleek it is.
