The Ninja CREAMi is also a valuable tool for those following specific diets. Whether you're lactose intolerant, vegan, or looking to reduce calories, this appliance allows you to create personalized ice creams tailored to all tastes and dietary needs.
Lactose-Free Ice Cream
For those with lactose intolerance, the Ninja CREAMi offers great flexibility in ingredient selection. Here are some ideal lactose-free bases for smooth ice cream:
- Almond or coconut milk : These plant-based milks are perfect for light ice creams with a sweet note. Coconut milk, in particular, provides a creaminess similar to that of cream.
- Oat milk : Very mild, it blends well with fruit and creates a creamy texture, ideal for ice creams with simple flavors.
- Lactose-free yogurt : For frozen yogurt, there are many lactose-free options. Mix it with fruit or natural flavorings for a refreshing dessert.
Vegan Ice Creams
If you're vegan, the Ninja CREAMi lets you make ice cream without any animal-derived ingredients. Here are some popular bases for vegan recipes:
- Avocado puree : Yes, avocado! Its creamy texture works surprisingly well in ice cream, especially when blended with cocoa or vanilla.
- Cashew nut milk : This plant-based milk is creamy and neutral in taste, making it a perfect base for adding other flavors.
- Coconut puree : Rich and creamy, it gives a soft and velvety texture, ideal for vegan chocolate or coconut ice creams.
Low-Calorie Ice Cream
For those watching their calorie intake, the Ninja CREAMi allows you to make low-calorie ice cream without compromising on taste. Here are a few tips:
- Use low-sugar fruits : Berries, strawberries, and melon are perfect for low-calorie ice cream. By blending them with water or unsweetened almond milk, you get a fruity and refreshing base.
- Opt for natural sweeteners : Stevia and erythritol are excellent options for sweetening ice cream without adding calories. Add them in small amounts for subtle sweetness.
- Add spices and flavorings : Cinnamon, unsweetened cocoa, vanilla extract, or lemon zest are wonderful ways to add flavor without extra calories.
