- How is the Deluxe different from the original CREAMi?
- The Deluxe adds programs such as Slushi, Italian ice, frozen drink, Creamiccino and frozen yogurt, and its pints hold about 50% more. The original has fewer functions and smaller pints.
- Do I need to freeze the pint overnight?
- Yes. The base has to freeze solid before processing, which typically takes about 24 hours. Plan ahead or keep several pints frozen.
- Can I make two flavors from one pint?
- Yes. You can freeze one base in the top half and another in the bottom, then process the top now and save the bottom for later.
- What can I make with it?
- Ice cream, sorbet, gelato, mix-ins, Italian ice, slushies, frozen drinks, frozen yogurt and Creamiccinos. It works with your own bases, including fruit and protein shakes.
- Does it need pre-chilled bowls or salt and ice?
- No. It relies on your freezer to freeze the pint, then a paddle shaves the frozen base. There is no compressor and no ice-and-salt bucket.
- What comes in the box?
- The motor base, a Deluxe pint with lid, and the processing paddle and outer bowl assembly. Extra pints are sold separately.
