How To Use Ninja Creami Deluxe

Hey there! Let me tell you about my real experience with the Ninja Creami Deluxe —because I know how fun it is to make your own ice cream at home, and this machine really makes it easy for anyone, even a kid (with a little help from an adult, of course!).

A couple of months back, I purchased one for myself. I had always loved store-bought ice cream, but was curious if I could make something just as good in my kitchen. Well, let me tell you—I was so happy when I tried it out for the first time!

First, you need to put the big metal container in the fridge for a whole day to get cold. Then mix your ice cream base—like milk, cream, sugar, and flavoring. Pour it into the cold container, snap on the lid, and put it in the machine.

Choose your favorite setting, press start, and let the machine do the work. In about 30 minutes, you’ll have creamy frozen treats ready to eat. It’s that simple!

Even kids can help with the mixing and adding toppings. It’s like magic in your kitchen!

When I first opened the box for the Ninja Creami Deluxe, everything I needed was inside. There was the main machine, two pint containers, a lid, and a manual. It was all there and no extra parts to worry about.

To set it up, I just put the base together and attached the bowl and lid. Then I put one of the pints in the freezer and left it there for 24 hours. That part is important because the container needs to be really cold to work properly. I forgot once, and the ice cream didn’t turn out right, but after that, I always remembered.

It’s super easy to set up and there’s no mess. Once it’s ready, you can make all kinds of frozen treats. It’s like having a mini ice cream shop in your kitchen. So simple and fun!

I learned the hard way that the blade has to be in the right place when you put the pint container in the machine. I once forgot to put it in and ended up with ice cream that wasn’t smooth at all. It was a mess!

So now I always check: before I put the container in the Ninja Creami Deluxe, I make sure the blade is inside the base of the pint. Then I twist it until it clicks into place. That makes everything blend smoothly and evenly.

It’s a small step but super important. Don’t skip it—trust me!

I’ve used the Ninja Creami Deluxe a bunch of times, and it’s super easy to work with. All you have to do is mix up your ice cream base, pour it into the pint container, and put the lid on tight. Then you slide the container into the machine and pick the right setting for what you want—like ice cream, gelato, or sorbet.

Once you press start, the machine does all the work. It churns everything until it’s smooth and creamy. I love how fast it works and how good it tastes. You don’t have to stir or worry about anything else. Just sit back, relax, and wait for your treat to be ready. It’s like magic in your kitchen!

• Milkshake: Creamy, blended milkshake.
• Mix-In: Add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
• Frappe: Coffee-based frozen drink.
• Frozen Drink: Blended frozen beverages.
• Slushi: Shaved ice with flavored syrup.
• Cremiccino: Coffee and ice cream blend.

I’ve had ice cream that was too hard before, and I found out that adding a little milk or cream and blending it again makes it soft and smooth. I like to let it sit a bit first so it’s not too frozen when I blend it again. It helps a lot.

If the ice cream is too soft, it probably wasn’t frozen long enough. I always make sure to freeze the base for at least 24 hours—it makes a big difference.

I also learned that beating the base well and making sure the sugar dissolves completely gives a smoother texture. Using full-fat milk and cream makes it richer and creamier. If it still feels icy, just blend it a little longer until it’s smooth and silky. It’s all about getting the right balance!

I’ve made a lot of non-dairy ice cream with the Ninja Creami Deluxe , and it’s super easy. I like to use coconut milk instead of regular milk because it makes everything extra creamy. I’ve also tried almond and oat milk, and they work too.

For sorbet, I love using fresh fruit like mango, strawberry, or peach. I mix the fruit with a little sugar and lemon juice to make it sweet and tangy. Then I add a bit of water or juice to make the mix a little runny—just right for the machine. If it’s too thick, it doesn’t churn well, but if it’s just right, it turns into smooth, tasty frozen treats every time!

I’ve tried store-bought ice cream bases when I was in a rush, and they work, but sometimes they have extra stuff like preservatives or fake flavors. I’ve also used instant mixes before—they’re quick, but the taste isn’t as good as when I make it myself.

When I make my own base, I get to control everything—how sweet, how creamy, and even if it’s dairy-free. It takes a little longer, but it feels more special and tastes way better. I think homemade is always the best choice for flavor! 

• Disassemble: Take out the pint container, blade and the lid.
• Wash Components: Hand wash with warm, soapy water (or put in the dishwasher) the pint container, blade, and lid. Be gentle with the blade.
• Clean the Base: Use a damp cloth in wiping the base of the machine. Avoid submerging it in water.
• Dry Thoroughly: Ensure everything is dried up before reasembling.
• Regular Maintenance: Wash after each use and look for any build up on the blades or wear on the blades.

To keep my Ninja Creami Deluxe working well, I check the blades and bottom part every few months to make sure there’s no sticky stuff left. I clean it every two weeks, especially if I see any leftovers. I always dry it completely after cleaning and don’t fill it too full—because that can make the machine work too hard.

If you take care of it, it’ll keep making smooth and creamy treats for a long time. It’s like having a friendly helper in your kitchen!

Ninja Creami Deluxe is such a thing that it is a game-changer for everyone who enjoys making their own frozen treats at home. If you have not yet managed to get hold of one, let me tell you, it is a kitchen appliance that you will not regret having around. I’ve used mine from making sorbets to gelato and even milkshakes, and it’s so easy!

• Whisk together cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla until sugar dissolves.
• Pour mixture into a container, cover, and freeze for 3-4 hours.
• If using an ice cream maker, churn according to instructions. Otherwise, stir every 30 minutes until firm (about 3-4 hours).
• Scoop and enjo

• Whisk together the coconut milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Once done, stir in the chocolate chips (if using).
• Freeze for 2-3 hours for a firmer consistency.

• Puree the strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey (if using), and lemon juice together in blender until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into an ice-cream maker for churning it for approximately 20-25 minutes until it becomes at a consistency of soft-serve.
• Pour the frozen yogurt in a container and place on a freezer for 2-3 hours to allow it be firmer.

Personal Tip: Add some slices of strawberries or even a pinch of granola for additional texture on serving.

Just freeze the base in the provided pint for 24 h, and then put it in the machine, choose a program (e.g., Ice Cream, Sorbet), so that Ninja CREAMi Deluxe makes it. It’s as easy as that! I’ve discovered that it has made ice cream-making very easy and time-saving.

Yes! I’ve experimented with a number of dairy-free ice creams that include coconut milk and almond milk. Simply freeze your dairy free base in the pint, and with the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe it works just as well as with traditional ice-cream bases, allowing you to get the creamy result like with each use.

It will only take around a couple of minutes for the ice cream to process. If you desire a firmer texture, then leave it to freeze for some hours more but the machine does a good job of giving you soft-serve immediately after processing.

Yes! After the ice cream is processed, I poke a hole in the middle of the ice cream and put my mix-ins (such as chocolate chips or fruit) and press the “Mix-In” option. The machine distributes the extras evenly, and is so apt for custom flavors!

Cleaning is super easy! I wash the pint, paddle, and lid with warm water. Almost all parts can be put in the dishwasher, but I hand wash the paddle and lid for long lasting. It is very low key maintenance and does not take long to clean after every use.

I have been using the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe for a couple of months, and it has completely transformed how I make frozen desserts at home. Regardless of the ingredients I choose, the ice cream consistently turns out velvety and rich! My top pick is the keto chocolate avocado ice cream—it’s indulgent and tasty.

The only thing to watch out for is not freezing the base too long, or it can be harder to churn. But once you get the timing right, it’s super easy and worth every minute. I love it and would definitely recommend it!

I have been using the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe for several months, and it has completely changed the way I make ice cream. It consistently creates smooth and creamy ice cream regardless of the ingredients I choose. My top pick is the keto chocolate avocado ice cream because it is both rich and delicious.

The only thing to keep in mind is to avoid freezing the mixture for too long, as that can make it tougher to mix. However, once you figure out the right timing, it becomes really simple and is totally worth the effort. I enjoy it a lot and would highly suggest it to others!
