Why You Will Love this Ninja Creami MilkShake
I’ve been trying to figure out why my Ninja Creami will sometimes make milkshakes instead of actual ice cream, and I think its cause it hasn’t been in the freezer long enough. I’ve tried leaving my pint in there for 4 to 6 hours and it comes out looking like a Milkshake. Still good though right?

Ninja Creami Milkshake 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.
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.
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.
Yes you sure can! Instead of regular milk use almond or oat milk.
