This Ninja Creami Birthday Cake Ice Cream is a popular Italian frozen dessert that is similar to ice cream but distinct in several key ways. I used the base recipe for my Ninja Creami Gelato Recipe to make this and added in all the extract ingredients. It’s a good base recipe for ice cream!
Originating from Italy, gelato is known for its rich and dense texture, which sets it apart from traditional American-style ice cream.
One of the primary differences lies in its composition: gelato typically contains less fat than ice cream because it uses more milk and less cream. Additionally, it is churned at a slower speed, incorporating less air into the mixture and resulting in a denser and creamier consistency.

Ninja Cream Birthday Cake Ice Cream Faqs
No the manual that came with the Ninja Creami recommends that you do not use that. You need to blend it first so the machine lasts longer.
The best sweetener for Ninja Cream is probably natural sugars like sugar, brown sugar, or honey.
Granulated Sugar – Provides the best texture but adds calories.
Brown Sugar – Adds a deeper, caramel-like flavor.
Honey or Maple Syrup – Natural options that enhance flavor but may slightly alter texture.
You need to add some kind of fat or binder! Thats why people like to use pudding mix in their Creami’s.
Using too much water-based liquid (like almond milk or skim milk) instead of higher-fat options. Add heavy cream, full-fat coconut milk, half-and-half, or Greek yogurt to improve texture. Sorbets are going to be a chalky consistency so you have to respin and add more orange juice or water.
Yes you sure can! Instead of regular milk use almond or oat milk.
