Top 5 Hacks for Using Your Ninja CREAMi (a.k.a. The Best Friend That Doesn’t Judge Your Late-Night Cravings)

Let’s be honest—when I first got my Ninja CREAMi, I thought, "Cute. Another kitchen gadget I’ll use twice before it retires to the Appliance Graveyard with the fondue set and the spiralizer." 

But ohhh no. The CREAMi didn’t come to play. It came to churn joy.

Here are the top 5 hacks I’ve picked up that’ll have your Ninja CREAMi doing the absolute most. Whether you're a late-night snacker, a dairy-free diva, or someone who just wants to eat cookie dough by the spoonful and call it dinner—these tips are for you.

1. Prep Your Base in Bulk Like a Pro

Stop making one pint at a time like a rookie. Make a few pints of your base recipe (dairy or dairy-free) and stash them in the freezer. That way, when the craving hits, all you have to do is spin. 

Bonus: Label them like you would a wine fridge—vanilla bean, Nutella swirl, post-breakup emergency, etc.

2. Mix-In Magic: Layer, Don’t Stir

Here’s the secret sauce (pun intended): instead of stirring your mix-ins into your base before freezing, wait until after the first spin. Then use the Mix-In function to fold in those crushed Oreos, peanut butter cups, or whatever candy you’re hiding from your kids. Texture unlocked.

3. It’s Not Just Ice Cream, Babe

Smoothie bowls? Check. Frozen yogurt? Absolutely. Boozy sorbet for girls’ night in? YES, ma’am. The Ninja CREAMi isn’t a one-trick pony. Play around with recipes that let you call something healthy (looking at you, protein ice cream) while still tasting like dessert.

4. Save a Pint. Rescue a Mood.

This one’s for Future You. Make an extra pint, toss in your feel-good flavors, and store it for That Day™—you know the one when your email explodes, your bra hurts, and the toddler poured applesauce into your shoe. The CREAMi’s got your back.

5. Spin It Twice. No Shame.

Sometimes that first spin is a little… icy. Don’t panic. Don’t throw it out. Don’t blame Karen. Just respin. It’s not a failure—it's a feature. Honestly, the double-spin is elite. Creamier. Dreamier. A spiritual reset, if you will.

Final Thoughts (a.k.a. an excuse to keep eating)

If you're using the Ninja CREAMi just to make vanilla ice cream, you're only scratching the surface. This thing is a self-care machine disguised as a countertop appliance. So, spin boldly, experiment wildly, and never apologize for adding sprinkles.

Unless you give Karen one. Then yes—definitely apologize.
