If you love milkshakes , you might be wondering if the Ninja Creami can do as well as the ones you get at American diners. And the answer is resounding yes milkshake mode , lets you make ultra-creamy homemade milkshakes in minutes, starting with your own ice cream. The best part is that you can completely customize your milkshakes to suit your tastes or those of your family. You choose the type of milk (dairy or plant-based), the quantity to adjust the consistency, and of course, the toppings that make all the difference.
1. Milkshake mode: simple and practical
The milkshake mode is incredibly simple. Once your ice cream is ready, just add a little milk (or plant-based milk) and press the "milkshake" button. In seconds, your ice cream transforms into a smooth, perfectly blended milkshake . For a thicker milkshake, add a small amount of milk, and for something lighter, add a little more.
My personal tip: I always start by adding less milk, then adjust it according to the texture I want. It's the best way to get a customized milkshake!
2. Classic recipe: the chocolate milkshake
It's impossible to talk about milkshakes without mentioning the chocolate milkshake . With the Ninja Creami, it's super easy to make, and you get a milkshake as good as (if not better than!) those from the best restaurants.
Ingredients :
- 200 ml of almond cream or milk
- 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey
- 100 ml of milk for the milkshake method
How to make it:
First, prepare chocolate ice cream with the Ninja Creami by mixing the cream, cocoa, and maple syrup, then freeze. Once the ice cream is ready, add 100 ml of milk and switch to milkshake mode . In just a few seconds, you have a smooth and indulgent chocolate drink, perfect for chocolate lovers like me!
Gourmet tip: For even more enjoyment, add dark chocolate chips or a little whipped cream on top!
3. Strawberry milkshake for extra freshness
If you prefer something fruitier, a strawberry milkshake is another great option. The strawberries provide natural freshness, and it's the perfect milkshake for sunny days.
Ingredients :
- 300g of strawberries
- 1 tablespoon of agave syrup

How to make it:
Blend the strawberries and agave syrup, freeze the mixture in the Ninja Creami container, then add the milk when you start the milkshake . You'll get a beautiful pink and refreshing milkshake, perfect for a little treat.
My personal tip: I sometimes add a few raspberries to the mixture to give it a slightly tangy touch that makes all the difference!
4. Customization: Create your perfect milkshake
