Even though it can get cold around this time of year, one thing we all agree on is that a yummy bowl of ice cream, sorbet or gelato is a year-round proposition. Even better is an ice cream that can be made in the comfort of your own home, and Ninja’s CREAMi Ice Cream Maker (which has already gotten a lot of notice on TikTok videos) is our choice for an appliance that can create customized icy treats of all flavors and types.
Even though its Cyber Monday sale is over, Amazon is still offering the CREAMi at a welcome 22% discount. This makes it a perfect buy if you’re seeking an easy-to-use ice cream maker that creates foolproof confections every time. Here’s a closer look at how the CREAMi operates, and the wide variety of deserts it can come up with.

The CREAMi’s major plus is its simplicity. To create ice cream, all you have to do is add your ingredients to the included pint cup, freeze the cup, mount the cup in the CREAMi and select the type of dessert you want to create. From there, the machine does the rest with its paddle, churning and shaving your frozen ingredients into a finished dessert within a few minutes. Want your ice cream even creamier or softer? No problem; just send it through another cycle. The CREAMi also has a mix-in option in which you can add bits of chocolate, nuts, candy or fruit to spice up your treat.
The Ninja CREAMi can create ice cream, sorbets, milkshakes, gelatos, smoothies and even “lite” ice cream. With all these possibilities, the only limitation on your recipes is what you can come up with (and the included guide with 30 recipes should give you a good start!). You can go as simple or complex with your ingredients as you like. For example, you can create a yummy fro-yo just by freezing and whipping up yogurt, or you can combine different kinds of berries to create a mixed-berry sorbet. One tip from us: Mix your ingredients well in the pint cup before freezing so they’ll have a consistent taste and texture when the CREAMi mixes them.
With over 8,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, it’s clear the Ninja CREAMi is a crowd fave. “The more I use this machine, the more I love it,” says one reviewer. “Everyone who tastes my frozen creations says it’s the best thing they’ve ever had.” Another reviewer is succinct in their praise for the Ninja CREAMi: “Finally, I can have ice cream as I like it!”
Far more than just a novelty item, the CREAMi adds variety and fun to your dessert menu, with tons of options for creating delicious results. Get it now while the savings are still here!
