How long does ice-cream take in the Ninja Creami?

Once your base is frozen (takes up to 24 hours), the actual spinning and blending into ice-cream takes less than 5 minutes (including the re-spin and mix-ins).

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 ice-cream powdery from the Ninja Creami?

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

Does the Ninja Creami make soft serve?

The Ninja Creami does a great job making soft serve ice cream. The texture is smooth and creamy. If

Instructions

Mix Base in Pint Container - I like to use a milk frother to do this, but you can also mix well with a fork or small whisk.
Freeze - 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. I like to freeze without a lid as I find it reduces the peak that can form in the middle
Prep for Blending - Remove the frozen pint from the freezer. If you have a 'peak' in the center, it's best to scrape most of it away with a spoon.
Blend - Insert into the outer bowl, add the lid, and lock into position. Blend on 'Lite Ice-Cream'
Add Liquid and Re-Spin - Make a little well in the center, add the extra liquid, and re-spin on the same lite ice cream setting.
Optional Mix-Ins - If adding sprinkles, or other mix-in. Use a spoon to make a well in the center and add the sprinkles. Then blend on the 'mix-ins' setting.
Enjoy - After the second spin (or mix-ins) your soft serve should be thick, creamy and ready to enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers? You can either use a spoon to smooth out and level the top in the Ninja Creami pint container and put back in the freezer. Then you can spin again when ready to eat. Or you can transfer the leftover soft serve to another container and freeze. Then thaw on the container for a bit or zap it in the microwave for just 5-10 seconds to soften it and eat again.
