Does the Ninja Creami really need 24 hours?

The instructions say to freeze your base for 24 hours before blending because it insures that it is frozen completely solid. The exact freeze time will vary based on your freezer - your base likely can be frozen completely solid in less time. The Ninja Creami will not work properly if it isn't completely frozen.

Why is my frozen yogurt powdery from the Ninja Creami?

It is normal for the ice-cream or froyo to be powdery or crumbly after just one spin because the base is frozen so solid. After one more spin, it should be creamy and ready to enjoy.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Mash Strawberries - Add the sliced strawberries to the pint container and use something heavy to press them down, expelling some of the juice. I like to use a metal ladle or metal measuring cup. Smooshing the strawberries helps them mix with the other ingredients.
Mix in the Other Ingredients - Mix in the yogurt, milk, sugar, and vanilla - until combined. The top should be level with no big chunks of strawberry sticking out.
Freeze Pint - Place the pint in the freezer and freeze for 24 hours so it is fully solid. Make sure you place it on a level surface in your freezer.
Blend - Insert into the outer bowl, add the lid, and lock into position. Blend on 'Lite Ice-Cream'. It will be crumbly.
Re-Spin - Make a little well in the center, add the extra milk (if using), and re-spin. After the second spin, the frozen yogurt should be thick, creamy and ready to enjoy!
Enjoy or Add Mix-Ins - You can have the frozen yogurt plain or at this point can add mix-ins!

Notes

Using Frozen Strawberries - Using Frozen Strawberries - You can use frozen strawberries for this recipe, but they need to be thawed first so you can still chop and smash them down in the pint container.
