Product Information
Full details
The Ninja CREAMi Deluxe Ice Cream Maker in Stone Gold is designed for home cooks and dessert enthusiasts looking to create a wide variety of frozen treats from scratch. Its key benefit is the versatility to transform simple ingredients into custom ice creams, sorbets, milkshakes, and more, with the convenience of a deluxe model that includes three tubs for larger batches or multiple flavors. A potential caveat is the need for pre-freezing the tub contents for at least 24 hours before processing.

FAQs
What is the minimum freezing time required?
The base mixture must be frozen for a minimum of 24 hours to achieve the optimal solid consistency for processing.
Can I use regular ice cream recipes?
Yes, you can adapt most ice cream recipes. However, for best results, ensure your base contains adequate fat and sugar, and be prepared to use the 'RE-SPIN' function if the texture isn't perfect on the first try.
How do I create two different flavors in one tub?
Prepare your first flavor base and freeze it. Once solid, use the CREAMi to process it. After processing, carefully scoop out the processed portion. Then, prepare your second flavor base, pour it into the same tub next to the remaining frozen base, and freeze again. Finally, process the combined contents or use the 'Mix-In' function.
What kind of liquid should I use for the 'RE-SPIN' function?
Typically, a tablespoon or two of milk, cream, or even a complementary liquid like juice or liqueur can be added to help achieve a smoother consistency during the 'RE-SPIN' cycle.
Is the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe noisy?
Like many powerful kitchen appliances, the CREAMi can produce some noise during operation, particularly when processing very solid frozen bases. Using the 'RE-SPIN' function or letting the base temper slightly can sometimes reduce processing time and noise.
What is the warranty period?
A free 2-year guarantee is provided upon registration with Ninja (UK & ROI only).
Can I make frozen yogurt?
Yes, the CREAMi Deluxe has a dedicated Frozen Yogurt function, allowing you to create creamy frozen yogurt from your favorite yogurt bases.
Troubleshooting
Unit does not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the outer bowl and lid are properly assembled and locked in place according to the instructions. The machine has safety interlocks.
Frozen base is too crumbly or powdery.
The base may not have been frozen solid enough, or it might be too lean (lacking fat/liquid). Re-process using the 'RE-SPIN' function. If still crumbly, add a tablespoon or two of liquid (like milk or cream) and select 'RE-SPIN' again.
Frozen base is too icy or slushy.
This can happen with recipes high in water content or low in fat. Try processing again with 'RE-SPIN'. If needed, add a small amount of fat (like cream) and 'RE-SPIN'. Ensure the base was frozen completely flat.
Paddle gets stuck or doesn't move.
Ensure the frozen base is fully processed and not excessively hard. Remove the tub, let it temper at room temperature for 5-10 minutes, then reassemble and try processing again. Check that the paddle is correctly inserted into the lid.
