Recipe FAQs
Using frozen fruit is ok in a Ninja Creami but I prefer fresh fruit over frozen. There's just something about using frozen fruit and adding it to the pint. It's like it's being frozen twice and I don't think that's necessary.
Sometimes after the first spin, the fruit will almost appear to look like powder. I like to add any type of fruit juice and then spin it for a second time.
No, you do not need an ice cream machine to make this. All you need is a food processor or blender.
That's the great thing about NInja Creami's you can just keep it in the pint it came with!
