How does the Swirl CREAMi differ from the original CREAMi?

It adds soft-serve functions and a dispensing lid with a swirl press and handle, so you can pull swirls directly instead of only scooping from the pint. It also ships with two pints.

Do I have to freeze the base overnight?

Yes. You prep the base, freeze it in the pint for about 24 hours, then process it. The machine cannot make ice cream from unfrozen liquid.

Can it make dairy-free or vegan desserts?

Yes. It is designed for low-sugar, keto, dairy-free and vegan recipes, and the booklet includes bases for them. Texture depends on the fat and solids in your base.

What comes in the box?

The motor base, two 16-oz Swirl pints with nozzles and storage lids, a dispensing lid with swirl press, the outer bowl and lid, the Creamerizer Paddle, a pull-out tray and a 30+ recipe booklet.

Can I fix a batch that comes out crumbly?

Use the Re-Spin function to reprocess it. If it stays dry, a splash of liquid before re-spinning usually helps.

How much counter space does it need?

It is a tall, bulky machine with an 800-watt motor and a 31.5-inch cord, so plan on dedicated counter space and clearance above it for the bowl and lid.

About the CREAMi Scoop & Swirl Ice Cream & Soft Serve Maker

The Ninja CREAMi Scoop & Swirl is an ice cream and soft serve maker. It turns a frozen base into ice cream, soft serve and other frozen treats at the touch of a button. You can make anything from one-ingredient sorbets to protein-packed, low-calorie desserts, and choose either classic scooped or swirled results.

It has 13 functions, including 6 soft-serve options: Soft Serve, Fruit Whip, Frozen Custard, Swirled Frozen Yogurt, Lite Ice Cream and Creamifit, which is engineered to process lower-calorie, high-protein treats. Soft Serve Creamify technology creates a smooth, soft texture for swirls. Re-Spin lets you adjust the texture, and the Soft Serve handle makes swirling cones easy and interactive.

Making a treat takes 3 steps: prep the base, freeze it overnight and process it. Recipes can be customized for low-sugar, keto, dairy-free and vegan diets.
