I’m on a diet. How to make zero calorie slushies or Sorbets in the Creami?

Is this possible? For a slushie day if I used a zero calorie soft drink with Erythritol and zero calorie drink syrup should it come out like a slushie when spun on the sorbet setting?

Would this also make sorbet if I spin for less time? I will in need some form of calories/sugar to make this work? I don’t need it to be perfect. Just want it to come close.

Smurf Food Creami

Hey all! Got my Ninja Creami last week and have been making a couple pints a day since then. Life changing! This is my first post here so I wanted to start with a fun and unique recipe. I call it Smurf Food!

Base:
• 1.75 cup Fairlife fat free milk
• 4 tbsp Syruvia sugar free blue raspberry syrup
• 3/4 scoop Ryse Jet-Puff marshmallow protein powder
• 1/4 tsp Xanthan gum
• Optional 7-10 drops blue food coloring for a brighter color

Mix in:
• 1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Macros:
• Cal 315
• Protein 41.9g
• Carb 31.3g
• Fat 1.9g

If you prefer a less fruity and more marshmallow flavor you can do 3 tbsp blue raspberry syrup and a full scoop of marshmallow protein powder instead. I do it both ways depending on how I’m feeling.

I plan on posting many more recipes as I develop them. Having so much fun already!

Custard powder base separated after freezing?

I used birds custard powder pretty much according to their directions and froze for 24 hours. Some weird separation happened.

Any idea why this might have happened and how I can avoid it next time? Or any ideas for salvaging this batch, should I just send it?

Made my version of a Dole Whip

Made a DIY Dole Whip using Califa Farms Pineapple Colada juice, blended a piece of pineapple, some sugar free vanilla pudding, vanilla almond milk, splash of whole milk…and of course sprinkles for fun. Came out great.

Preserved lemon & olive oil ice cream

My most delicious creami ice cream yet.

https://food52.com/recipes/41876-preserved-lemon-ice-cream

I adapted the recipe slightly (bc I'm lactose intolerant) by using a combination of Silk dairy free whipping cream and LF half & half for the heavy cream, and LF whole milk for the milk. Whisked in the olive oil just before freezing. 3tbsp of preserved lemon rind ended up being the rind of one preserved lemon, which I rinsed before chopping. Salty, sweet, acidic, earthy, it's just everything I'm looking for in a sweet dessert.

Also don't judge the bowl photo, I processed the pint and then put it in the freezer for a couple hours so it wasn't as smooth as it was straight after processing. I would have waited for it to thaw slightly but... I simply couldn't.

EDIT: Processed on ice cream setting

Brownie batter high protein

This is by far the best recipe I've made yet. Based off the base chocolate recipe from Dynas

1 cup fairlife

3/4 cup almond milk

1 scoop ON extreme chocolate milk protein

1 tbsp allulose

1 tbsp SF chocolate fudge pudding mix

1/8 tsp xanthan gum

2 tbsp cocoa powder

1/2 tsp cake batter extract

Pinch salt

Sprinkles for the topping

This was a touch icier than normal. Spun once on lite ice cream and then one respin. The taste absolutely made up for the tiny little bit of iciness, it was like eating brownie batter. A+

Ninja Creami for gelato making

My wife is planning to get me a ice cream/gelato maker for my birthday and the budget is $100-150(can extend it to creamis price if it's worth it). I am planning to exclusively use it for gelato making and ice cream once in a while. I looked up options and realized that creami makes gelato as well(I was under the impression it was only for icecreams).

The questions i have are,

  1. have you made gelato in the creami often and is it close in texture to gelato found at a gelato spot?

  2. would the creami make a better gelato than other churn style ice cream makers under$50 for example the Cuisinart 1 pint ice cream maker?

Thanks in advance.

1.5 cup watermelon

.5 cup water

Squirt of lime juice

1 tbsp allulose

1 scoop whey protein

Soupy consistency with noticeable ice

Hey y’all how’s it going. I’m having trouble getting a creamy texture on this chocolate ice cream I’m trying to make. Recipe is as follows: 400 ml of Kroger brand Carbmaster chocolate milk (low-cal variant of milk with 80 cals / 11g protein per 240 ml), 25g of Monkfruit sweetener, 20g cocoa powder, 30g vanilla protein powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1g xanthum gum.

I blend it all pretty well and stick it in the back of the freezer for around 24 hours with the lid on. Take it out, run it under hot water for around 30-60 seconds. Spin it on Full (ninja creami xl deluxe) on lite ice cream for this result.

I’m getting this really runny texture, even with multiple re-spins. It’s still creamy but imagine ice cream you let sit outside for too long. It’s like a hybrid between actual ice cream and just a cold milkshake.

On top of that, I’m crunching ice with every bite. Granted, they are very small bits, but I don’t think that’s supposed to happen, but it takes away from ice cream and makes it feel like a really unpleasant shaved ice dessert. All of this is incredibly annoying to say the least. Not sure what I’m doing different compared to everybody I see online with super thick products (Eli FPF on tiktok in particular. Good content).

What do y’all think?

Jagged metal inside outer lid?

Hi y’all,

I got this Creami Deluxe XL for Christmas and recently noticed this jagged looking metal on the inside of the top. Did something break that I didn’t notice and it needs to be replaced? Happy to provide any extra details that may help. Thank you!

How to best combine store bought vanilla yoghurt with frozen strawberries?

I've always liked to have fresh strawberries mixed with my vanilla ice cream. Which is something I only enjoy on occasion, since fresh strewberries are expensive here in Northern Sweden unless they are in season obviously. What I didn't like was using defrosted frozen ones. Freezing and defrosting them makes them too mushy for my taste.

Now recently I read a facebook post about using frozen fruit with the Ninja Creami by combining it with yoghurt, but it was vague on the details. So I'd like to ask here.

Vanilla yoghurt from Valio is often on sale at our local ICA store and has a fat content of 2,1%. If we bought 2 kg and mixed it in a bowl with 1kg of defrosted frozen strawberries using an immersion blender would that 2:1 ratio of yoghurt to strawberries be alright? Should we add some cream to increase the fat percentage? Should we add something else?

I'm mostly concerned about damaging the blade if the fat content is too low or something else we didn't think of, since thus far we've only followed Ninja Creami recipies, rather than experimenting ourselves. Not so much concerned about getting the taste extra fancy, but willing to listen to any and all advice.

Zagnut ice cream (PB and coconut)

A Zagnut is my all time favorite candy bar, so I decided to try to try a coconut PB ice cream. In my opinion, it is fantastic.

Mix and freeze
300 g. 2% Fairlife Milk
30 g. Part skim Ricotta
15 g. Creamy Peanut butter
10 g. PB2
0.5 Tbsp erithrytol
14 g. Sugar free vanilla pudding mix
1 scoop CSE coconut cream

Spin on Lite Ice Cream

Mix in:
15 g. Toasted coconut

It’s about 500 calories for the whole thing, which is higher than many I make, but I will for sure be making it again.

Ninja Creami arrives TODAY 😂 milk vs Greek yogurt vs both? Asking the experts

Hi everyone!

Our Ninja Creami is literally out for delivery right now 😂 so my husband and I have spent the last 2 days obsessively researching recipes, texture tips, mistakes to avoid, etc. We’re VERY excited.

We already started building a little recipe book before the machine even arrived (attached screenshot 😅). So far, most of the recipes we planned use a half milk / half Greek yogurt base because from what I’ve seen, people say it gives a creamier texture while still staying lighter.

Current recipes we’re planning:

- Biscoff Cookie Butter

- Key Lime Pie

- Bonoffee

What I’m still trying to understand from experienced users is this:

For texture ONLY (not calories/macros), what usually gives the best Creami result?

- Milk only

- Greek yogurt only

- Half milk / half yogurt

I’m looking for:

- creamy

- scoopable

- not icy

- closest to “real ice cream”

I currently have:

- 2% milk

- 0% Greek yogurt

- xanthan gum

- sweeteners/syrups

Would love your opinions before we freeze our first pints tonight 🙏

What's your Ninja Creami hot take?

Mine: dairy-free recipes are overrated unless you are actually lactose intolerant. Most of the highly upvoted protein ice cream recipes use almond milk, oat milk, or water as the base. The result is thinner and icier than skyr, cottage cheese, or real milk. People chase the calorie saving and accept worse texture for it. If your gut handles dairy, use dairy.
