Ninja Creami for a month now , and this machine has undoubtedly transformed the way I prepare homemade ice cream. However, my experience was not entirely without pitfalls. Between adjustments to ingredients, disappointments with certain recipes, and unsuccessful attempts at protein ice creams, here is my complete feedback on what I learned with this device.
1. A difficult start with the recipes in the book
When I started using the Ninja Creami , I naturally turned to the recipes provided in the booklet that came with the machine. However, I quickly became disappointed with the results. The texture wasn't as creamy as I hoped, and the taste often lacked intensity. I had a lot of trouble finding the perfect balance of ingredients .
2. Difficulties with protein ice creams
Another point that I explored from the beginning was the creation of protein ice creams , inspired by the many recipes we see on social networks. Unfortunately, my first attempts were rather disappointing. I tried several brands of protein, adjusting the quantities and ingredients, but the result was always the same: ice cream with a bland taste and a less than pleasant texture.
After several tries, I realized that these popular recipes often lacked the balance of protein, liquid ingredients, and fat, making the ice cream unappetizing. For now, I have decided to put these recipes on hold, but I plan to work on this subject in the coming months to find the perfect balance of ingredients and finally achieve a tasty protein ice cream. I will definitely share my findings in a future eBook dedicated to this type of recipes.
3. Impeccable textures once the right recipe is found
Despite this somewhat rocky start, once I started to master adjusting the ingredients, I achieved incredibly creamy textures with the Ninja Creami . The absence of ice crystals, thanks to “inverted turbine” technology, makes all the difference. Even with recipes low in fat or without refined sugars, the texture remains creamy and pleasant in the mouth.
4. Healthy and personalized ice creams
Another great advantage of Ninja Creami is the freedom to create healthy recipes . I was able to replace industrial ingredients with natural alternatives, and adjust my recipes according to my nutritional needs. For example, ice creams made only from fruit, without added sugar, or frozen yogurts made from plant-based milks. This makes the device particularly interesting for those who want more balanced desserts.
5. A device that is easy to use and maintain
The ease of use of the Ninja Creami is another big plus. Once you find the right mix, all you have to do is place the frozen tub in the machine, press a button, and in just a few minutes, your ice cream is ready. It's a real time saver, especially for people who don't want to spend hours in the kitchen. In addition, cleaning is very easy thanks to the removable parts that are dishwasher safe.
Conclusion: The Ninja Creami, a relevant investment?
After a month of use, despite a somewhat chaotic start, I am convinced that the Ninja Creami is worth buying. My loved ones give me good feedback on my ice cream when they taste it but I feel that there are improvements to be made! It's easy to use, creates healthy ice cream, and delivers impeccable results once you master the right dosages. I still have to experiment a lot but I feel like I'm going to have fun and I don't regret my purchase at all!
ARTICLE UPDATE 10 MONTHS LATER: I absolutely do not regret my purchase! I took advantage of it this summer by making savory ice creams, sorbets, cocktail flavored ice creams, I am very happy with my purchase!
At first I had a little difficulty finding the right balance of ingredients, this forced me to experiment on my own and adjust the recipes to obtain results that met my expectations. If you are like me and looking for really great ice creams from the start, I highly recommend checking out my eBook “ Ninja Creami, Secrets to Great Ice Creams ” . It's designed to get you started with trusted recipes, tested and tailored to ensure perfect texture and delicious tastes. It really is the ideal base to get started with your Ninja Creami if you want to avoid the initial trial and error.
As for protein ice creams, although my first attempts were disappointing, I am not giving up on finding the ideal recipe in the months to come, and I will share my discoveries very soon.
