Do I have to freeze the base overnight?

Yes. The pint base must be frozen solid, which takes about 24 hours, before you run a program.

Can it make dairy-free or protein ice cream?

Yes. It works with nut milks, oat milk and protein shakes. Very low-fat bases may need a re-spin for a creamier texture.

How much does one batch make?

One 16-ounce pint per batch. You can process several pints in a row if you have extra containers frozen.

Is it dishwasher safe?

The pint containers and lids are dishwasher safe. The paddle and bowl are hand-wash only.

How is it different from a traditional ice cream maker?

A compressor or bowl-freezer machine churns liquid base directly. The CREAMi shaves and churns an already-frozen pint, so it needs freezer space and planning but gives denser results.

What comes in the box?

The motor base, a 16-ounce pint container with lid, and the creamer paddle.

Our take on the Ninja CREAMi 5-in-1 Ice Cream Maker

The Ninja CREAMi is a countertop frozen-dessert maker that turns a pre-frozen pint base into ice cream, gelato, sorbet, smoothie bowls and milkshakes. You freeze the pint overnight, then the machine shaves and churns it with five one-touch programs and an 800-watt motor. It suits people who want control over ingredients and texture at home. Against a traditional compressor ice cream maker, it needs freezer space and planning a day ahead, but it produces denser, scoopable results from almost any base, including protein shakes and dairy-free mixes.

What reviewers say
