CREAMi Deluxe Ice Cream Maker | 11-in-1 Create Frozen Desserts, Sorbet, Milkshakes, Yogurt & More | Includes 2 Dishwasher Safe XL 24 Oz. Tubs with storage lids | Silver | NC501

You read my Headline correctly. This Ninja Creami Deluxe Ice Cream and Frozen Treat Maker is one phenomenal machine. This purchase choice was a difficult one for me to make. I kept hoping for ‘Just-a-Dad to review it but he never did. So I was left on my own without his advice. The reviews were very favorable and 5-star —*****. Professional reviews shopped by Google were also highly favorable. The Ninja Creami Deluxe Ice Cream Maker was either #1 or #2 on every list of ‘The Best Ice Cream Makers for 2024.’ The other #1 or #2 on every list was by Cuisinart. Their 2-qt. Ice Cream Maker was very highly reviewed just like the Creami Deluxe was. So what was the breaking point that made me go for the Creami Deluxe? Pretty easy if you know anything about it. It’s what it did! The Cuisinart made 1/2 gallon or 2 qts. of ice cream at one time. Making a gallon of ice cream by it was easier than the Creami. But since my children and grandchildren and great grandchildren now all live in Europe and no longer in Texas I live alone and have done so since the death of my wife. So, if I wanted to make some ice cream making 2 qts. it seemed too much. And to double batch it would really add inches to the ol’ waistline. And as I am now a septuagenarian who really cares about my waistline anyway! All this said, I guess you can see why I went for the Ninja Creami. It makes so many things other than ice cream, sherbet and frozen yogurt. In addition to ice cream, sherbet and frozen yogurt, it makes lite ice cream, gelato, sorbet, ceramicinnos, frozen drinks, slushis, milkshakes & malts, and Italian ices. Regular ice cream makers simply can’t make these items. Ninja makes several Ninja Creami models but the Deluxe model makes larger batches at a time. The other Creami models each make 16 oz. batches at a time though you can make several 16 oz. batches at one time. The Creami models other than the Ninja Deluxe make ice cream and other treats using what they call PINTS. And they are just that, one-pint containers. So if you make enough custard to fill two or three or more PINTS that is what you make. The Deluxe model uses larger PINTS. These are 24 ounces but are still called PINTS. Two PINTS come with your purchase and you can purchase extra PINTS on Amazon by many manufacturers. There is one particular brand of manufacture that is recommended because of their quality and exacting specifications. You see, the Ninja Creamis (all models) make their ice cream and other treats differently from other ice cream makers. Where the other ice cream makers require that you put your liquid custard into either a frozen bowl/container that has been in the freezer overnight or even longer and then churn the liquid for xx minutes until frozen hard. With the Ninja Creami Deluxe and other models, you fill as many PINTS as you have custard for and then put those custard-filled PINTS into the freezer for a minimum of 24 hours. (Personally I find that an extra eight (8) hours is best.) Then when frozen, you put your PINTS, one by one, into the machine to ‘do its thing’ with the custard. This process turns the frozen custard into a very wonderful rich ice cream that is unbelievably delicious. There is a stainless steel blade that is in the top that is affixed in the top which covers the PINT that drills down through the frozen custard and back up again all the time whipping the custard into a wonderful ice cream. What I particularly like about this system is that you can make several different flavors with one large batch of custard. For most ice cream custards, I start with a very low-calorie (oh, did I say low calorie? I meant to say high-calorie) vanilla made with whipping cream, half-and-half, sugar, and pure vanilla extract. I might make use two quarts of whipping cream which is, for my recipe, two double-batches of custard which will make 1/2 gallon of ice cream. With a regular ice cream maker, you can make different flavors usuallly two batches depending on the size of your ice cream maker. With a 2 qt. ice cream maker, generally you can divide the custard in half making two flavors. With the Creami using the same two quarts of whipping cream and my recipe for vanilla ice cream, I can get five PINTS of custard to put into the freezer. Using one (1) quart at a time, I get two PINTS plus about 25 percent fill in a third PINT. Mathematically speaking, with the second quart I can of course get another of the same and another 25 percent added to the same overflow PINT. You can now see that when I make two more 2-qt. batches of custard I will be able to make the whole recipe again and the overflow PINT will be completely full. The final line is that with four (4) quarts of whipping cream I can make eight (8) 24 oz. PINTS of ice cream and the additional PINT and can with these nine (9) PINTS can make as many as nine (9) different flavors of ice cream or ice cream and some milk shakes or malts-you have to purchase the malt powder which is available on Amazon.com. To date, I have now made vanilla, Dutch chocolate, raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, three-berry (blue-, black-, straw- berries), blackberry, cookies and cream, butter pecan, cherry (I use the same dark cherries that B&J uses for their very rich and unique ice cream flavor named after a very renowned singer), and Rocky Road. Needless to say, this wonderful Ninja Creami Deluxe Ice Cream Maker now sits on the kitchen counter along with the toaster and coffee maker. When I got it, I thought it would be stored under the kitchen counter somewhere but it instantly became as important an appliance as the coffee maker. Are there any critical things I should mention? Not really except to say that it is tall but it fits under my cabinets with a quarter inch to spare. Other reviewers have stated that it is loud. We so is my coffee bean grinder but I can’t complain. The Creami has two motors driving that blade down through a very solid, frozen cream-based custard. A double-motored machine is going to make some noise. It’s to be expected. But it’s not too loud and I would advise you not to make ice cream in 0300 hours. My Creami was Renewed by Amazon and when I opened the box not one item had been opened. So I saved a good bit of money by doing so. If one of these is available, I would advise you do look into a Renewed one. Can’t beat it for its versatility. As usual, you get what you pay for.

i bought this because i enjoy sweet treats. what i accidentally purchased was a machine that has removed several of the natural barriers between me and ice cream. previously, obtaining ice cream involved effort. perhaps shoes. perhaps leaving the house. now i freeze a container, press a button, and produce protein ice cream on demand like a woman who has been given entirely too much power. i use this constantly. protein ice cream is by far my most-made recipe, and the texture genuinely impresses me every time. the Creami repeatedly takes mixtures that look deeply unpromising and transforms them into something creamy, scoopable, and suspiciously close to actual ice cream. the re-spin function also deserves credit for rescuing mixtures that seem determined to become geological features. mine has worked perfectly from day one. no issues, no troubleshooting, no drama. it just works. which is unfortunate, because i already love Ninja products. at the time of writing, i am actively trying to convince myself that i do not need the Ninja Slushi machine. i am also trying to convince myself that i do not need the glass air fryer. the Creami is not helping my case. every Ninja product i’ve owned has been good, and i’m beginning to suspect they have a department dedicated to identifying my specific weaknesses. in chaiconomy terms, this is many chais up front. however, if you regularly buy ice cream, protein ice cream, frozen yoghurt, or other sweet treats, the maths starts looking increasingly suspicious in its favour. ✨tl;dr✨ excellent machine, flawless performance, fantastic for protein ice cream, and responsible for both a significant increase in my frozen dessert consumption and a growing interest in additional Ninja appliances. i am simply reporting the facts. ✨

The Creami has been amazing so far. The amount of recipes I have been able to make is astounding. Bring able to customize your treats is so helpful when you are watching what you eat. It performs very well as long as you follow the included instructions about making sure ice cream is level and fully frozen. The machine and parts are very easy to clean as well. The only con is the noise level of the machine. It is nowhere near unbearably loud but is still quite loud.

TL:DR $226 dollars only gets you ice cream and sorbet depending on how much you know about cooking, but as a base line, you cannot mess up unless you're actively trying it. $226 is steep, so I got the used one... but I also got 4 additional pints with silicon lids, came out to about the same price anyways. It came in, was still dirty from the last owner but I deep clean anything I get anyways so it's not skin off my back. THE BEST NATURAL THICKENING HIGH PROTEIN SOME CALORIES BASE: Take a cup of skim milk and water and put on the stove on low heat till slightly steaming or aromatic OPTIONAL: add vanilla paste or fat soluble flavorings into the solution while it's heating up, you can also add salt or really anything soluble which won't break from the solution while it's heating up crack open 2 eggs in a separate bowl and whisk till homogenized. add a 1/4th cup of the hot skim milk and water solution into the eggs and whisk to temper, then add the tempered eggs into the skim milk solution and keep on low heat stirring occasionally, leave the pot open so the solution can reduce. Once it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon take off heat and allow to cool to room temperature, take this cooled base of pasteurized eggs and milk, which should be around 239kcals and 21g protein and blend with your protein powder, thickeners/emulsifiers, or whatever, on it's own it holds up pretty well to a ben and jerry's pint when sweetened with honey or monk fruit/stevia. Plus eating this in the morning is seriously awesome, it feels like being a kid on a Sunday morning except you made it with adult stuff like eggs, milk, and protein so when you get to the afternoon you feel great and the whole process makes digestion really easy, sits pretty in your stomach as you do what you do. Does this beat the evil xanthan gum or fillers? Not by a long shot buddy. ANYWAYS, here's my experience. Guys, I put protein powder, skim milk, coco powder, and a banana in this thing, I had ice cream for breakfast in the morning. Not exactly though, it was more like a frozen fluff with ice crystals throughout and a mild taste. If you're cutting weight, this does taste and feel like heaven on earth. To those who don't like compromise between taste and macros, consider adding emulsifiers to the ice cream base before freezing like xanthan, guar gaur gum, or gelatin, this will disrupt the crystallization process during freezing, it's also good to source these crystallization inhibitors from natural fiber sources like fruit, banana is king when it comes to creaminess, however it will make your ice cream taste like banana + whatever you're trying to make. If these options aren't appealing try adding a neutral saturated fat or even a flavored animal fat like rendered fat, which you can treat like a cream infusion for aromatics like vanilla bean. While you might be confused at the idea of combining something like beef tallow and protein powder, it's important to note that during phases of fat loss, the inclusion of saturated fats and cholesterol is vital in supporting healthy hormone levels, which will ensure the preservation of lean mass and metabolic rate. The lower you go, the more fats you must consume to replace the absence of tissue your body utilizes in hormonal production, ESSPECIALLY FOR WOMEN. Only a rare minority can sustain and achieve low bodyfat percentage without following this rule. For guys, do well to remember anabolic compounds are hormones, no fat or cholesterol, no testosterone, less potential for maintaining or even cultivating lean mass during cutting phases. That being said, mixing emulsifiers with a controlled amount of saturated fat, and lower freezing point items, which could be something as simple as a cup of whole milk, skim milk, or a low calorie pudding mix will yield the greatest taste, macros, and compromise between natural and artificial inclusions in the diet. Let me specify, I have ran multiple experiments with really bad tasting protein powder, bad tasting protein powder, good protein powder, and great protein powder. The very first trials I ran, was a serving great powder and a serving bad powder, pretty equal to each other, only great powder, only good powder, only bad powder, and only very bad powder. All of these resulted in a slow digesting and more fulfilling substance. The very bad powder (very cheap unflavored whey isolate) was still terrible, I ran another batch where I froze it with strong flavorings, still made me gag. the bad powder (cheap vanilla splash) was barely tolerable, jumping from nothing cardboard taste to I don't wanna eat this. the good (chocolate milk isolate) and the great powder were pretty similar, but ice cream should be enjoyed in all forms, so the great powder (chocolate peanut butter isolate) won when it had melted a little bit and I got to taste it warmed up a little and frozen. Otherwise, if you like your ice cream firm and frozen, you just need it to be good/okay tasting protein powder. Bottom line, the better tasting the powder you're using, the better this will be. You CAN, pass off a bad powder but that takes additional ingredients, you need strong tasting stuff like bananas and peanut butter. berries will not mask that whey flavor. The freeze itself does a great job at removing 75% of that horrible whey taste. Keep in mind though that's only because your tongue isn't warm enough to process the taste. Once it starts warming up to a soft serve stage, it's barely tolerable but not enjoyable like ice cream taste wise. What was disappointing is that even mixing the bad protein and the good protein together, the bad protein just made the whole thing suck. Saving grace was adding vanilla extract, a good amount of coco powder, a banana, and a tablespoon of peanut butter, and even then it was still mid for a bunch more calories.

The machine works great. make your frozen dessert, freeze and let the machine do the rest. Only problem it is loud , had to put it in anther room ( the pantry) so it did not bother everybody. The other problem is every time you want to use it , you have to unplug it weight a few minutes and plug it back in. that is the only way the machine will power on. do not know if this is a sign that the machine will die in the future or not.

If you love frozen treats, stop what you're doing and get the Ninja CREAMi. The XL Capacity is perfect for making family-sized batches (and the two included 24 oz. tubs are a huge bonus), meaning everyone can get exactly what they crave. I've made everything from rich, creamy ice cream and tangy sorbets to thick, perfect milkshakes and even decadent "lite" ice creams using protein powder. The texture is consistently smooth and professional-quality, even with challenging ingredients. The "Mix-in" feature is a dream for adding crushed cookies or candies right at the end. It's straightforward to use, surprisingly easy to clean, and the results are infinitely better and more customizable than anything you can buy pre-made. This is more than just an appliance; it's a license to create healthy, delicious, and perfectly textured frozen treats right in your own kitchen.

This was our family Christmas gift and so far everyone is so happy with it. There are SOO many options with this guy. I opted for the deluxe because you get the bigger canisters and I'm really happy I did. You have more options with this one; you can make sorbet, fancy coffee drinks (my teens favorite) and great ice cream! It's super easy to use once you learn what the buttons are for. There are tons of recipes in the book they give you and on YouTube. I do recommend watching a video to get some tips/tricks for it. We were happy with some of the ideas they gave us to help our machine last longer (like letting your stuff sit out for 15 mins before you spin it). We were able to get a set of canisters off Amazon because 2 is just not enough! Everyone has fun experimenting with different things to freeze and spin (who knew applesauce would be so good frozen!).

The **Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 Ice Cream & Frozen Treat Maker** is an incredible addition to any kitchen, especially if you’re someone who loves to make a variety of frozen treats at home. After using it for a while, I’ve been really impressed by its versatility and ease of use. Here’s my detailed review of the machine: ### **Design and Build** The Ninja CREAMi Deluxe has a **modern, sleek silver design**, making it an attractive addition to the kitchen counter. Despite its larger capacity, the machine doesn’t take up too much counter space and is compact enough to fit comfortably on most countertops. The build quality feels premium and sturdy, with a **solid, durable exterior**. It has a **user-friendly interface** with clear buttons, and the digital display makes it easy to select between the various programs. ### **11 Programs for Versatility** What really sets this machine apart is the **11 different programs** it offers. You’re not just limited to ice cream—this machine can make: - Ice Cream - Gelato - Sorbet - Frozen Yogurt - Milkshakes - Smoothie Bowls - Slushies - Frozen Drinks - Lite Ice Cream - Creamiccino (like a frozen coffee treat) - Mix-Ins (for adding extras like chocolate chips or nuts) The ability to make so many different frozen treats is incredible. I’ve used it to make **ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt**, and even **smoothie bowls**, and it consistently delivers great results. It’s perfect for experimenting with different flavors and textures, which is a big plus if you enjoy making your own recipes. The **gelato** program, for example, offers a denser, creamier consistency than the regular ice cream setting, which is ideal when you're in the mood for a richer dessert. ### **Ease of Use** The machine is extremely easy to use. You simply prepare your base (whether it’s ice cream, sorbet, or frozen yogurt), freeze it in the **24 oz. family-sized tubs**, and then let the machine churn it into a smooth, creamy texture. The process is straightforward, and I appreciate that the machine does all the hard work—there’s no manual churning required. Each program is clearly labeled, and the digital display shows how much time is remaining in the cycle, which is handy when you’re multitasking in the kitchen. The **Mix-Ins** program is particularly fun because it allows you to add ingredients like nuts, chocolate chips, or fruit pieces toward the end of the cycle without over-processing them. ### **XL Capacity** The **24 oz. family-sized tubs** are a fantastic feature. These large tubs allow you to make bigger batches of ice cream or other treats, which is perfect for families or entertaining. The set comes with **two tubs**, so you can prepare multiple batches at once and simply swap them out when needed. I love that you can prepare and freeze a base ahead of time and then churn it when you're ready to serve. This makes it very convenient for hosting guests or making treats in advance. ### **Performance and Texture** The performance of the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe is outstanding. It consistently produces **smooth, creamy textures**, even for sorbets and non-dairy options. The ice cream has a professional-quality consistency—rich and velvety—while the sorbets are light and refreshing. The **sorbets** in particular turn out very smooth without being icy, which is often a problem with homemade versions. I’ve tried several different bases, including traditional dairy-based ice cream, fruit-based sorbets, and even plant-based options like coconut milk ice cream, and all of them turned out great. The machine does an excellent job of evenly mixing and freezing the ingredients, so there are no chunks of unprocessed ingredients left behind. ### **Ease of Cleaning** Cleaning the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe is also quite easy. The tubs and paddle are **dishwasher safe**, which makes cleanup a breeze. For quick clean-ups, I usually just rinse them out with warm water and mild soap, and that works perfectly well. The main unit itself just needs a quick wipe-down after use, as the parts that come into contact with the food are easily removable. ### **Noise Level** One thing to note is that the machine does make some noise during operation, especially when it’s churning thicker mixtures like ice cream or gelato. It’s not unbearably loud, but it’s something to be aware of, especially if you’re sensitive to kitchen appliances that produce noise. The noise level is similar to a blender, so it's expected with such powerful functionality. ### **Customizable Recipes** One of the best things about this machine is how easy it is to customize recipes. You can adjust the ingredients to make healthier versions of your favorite treats, like **low-sugar ice cream**, **non-dairy frozen yogurt**, or **smoothie bowls** with fresh fruit. The machine is forgiving when it comes to experimenting with different flavors and textures, so it’s perfect for anyone who loves to get creative in the kitchen. ### **Pros** - **Wide range of programs**: The 11 different settings provide incredible versatility, from traditional ice cream to smoothie bowls and slushies. - **Large capacity**: The two 24 oz. tubs allow you to make family-sized batches or multiple flavors at once. - **Great consistency**: It produces smooth, creamy ice cream and frozen treats with a professional-quality texture. - **Easy to use and clean**: The intuitive interface and dishwasher-safe parts make the process simple and hassle-free. - **Customizable options**: Great for creating healthier alternatives, dairy-free versions, and experimenting with flavors. ### **Cons** - **Noise**: The machine can be a bit noisy during operation, especially when working with thicker mixes like ice cream or gelato. - **Freezer Prep**: You need to freeze your base for 24 hours before using the machine, so it requires some planning ahead. ### **Final Thoughts** The **Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 Ice Cream & Frozen Treat Maker** is an excellent investment for anyone who loves making a variety of frozen treats at home. Its versatility, ease of use, and ability to create smooth, high-quality ice cream, sorbets, and more make it a standout product. Whether you're preparing classic ice cream, experimenting with healthy alternatives, or making fun frozen drinks, this machine delivers excellent results. If you’re looking for an all-in-one frozen treat maker with family-friendly features and lots of room for creativity, the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe is definitely worth considering.

Merveilleuse

I loved the ninja creami and am so bummed it got spoiled. I give it a 5 star rating purely on my user experience with the product. Hoping it launches in India soon. I suggest getting the warranty cos they will accept your return within the timeline but it’s self ship. But still giving it 4stars cos my refund came through very promptly. Mine was slightly complicated case as I didn’t want to self ship also and also the product was working absolutely fine for a few uses. I feel it’s a safe buy cos the seller did issue a refund without a delay and understood that the product was faulty and made no drama about it as such. Amazon provided awesome support tho.

this thing is amazing. been using roughly lately and its been performing very well. for a small appliance that can prepare ice cream? its decent i had the idea that if i just put anything inside it will an ice-cream out of it but that wasnt the case. to clear the confusion, you freeze milk or whatever your mix, machine's purpose is after that. you can change the frozen mix you had into different frozen delicacies such as milkshakes, ice creams, frappe etc...

I can’t say enough good things about the Ninja Creami! This machine has revolutionized the way I enjoy frozen desserts at home. Whether you’re in the mood for classic ice cream, sorbet, gelato, or something more adventurous like a Creamiccino, this machine delivers perfect results every time. The setup was incredibly straightforward, and the user-friendly interface makes it easy to select exactly what you want. I love how the dial gives you the option to choose between “Scoopable” and “Drinkable” textures, allowing for ultimate customization based on your preference. The "Re-Spin" function is a game-changer for achieving that perfect consistency, especially when adding mix-ins. One of the standout features is the versatility. From making indulgent ice cream to healthier options like lite ice cream and frozen yogurt, the possibilities are endless. I’ve experimented with everything from dairy-free recipes to high-protein options, and the results have always been fantastic. The machine handles different textures and ingredients effortlessly, providing a smooth, creamy outcome that rivals any store-bought treat. Cleaning the Ninja Creami is also a breeze, which is a huge plus. The removable parts are dishwasher safe, and the machine itself is designed to minimize mess, making the whole process hassle-free. Overall, the Ninja Creami has become a must-have in my kitchen. It’s perfect for anyone who loves experimenting with flavors and textures, or simply enjoys high-quality frozen desserts at home. The build quality is top-notch, and it feels like a premium product worth every penny. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to elevate their dessert game – you won’t be disappointed!
