    I've looked at this machine before because I have a couple of other Ninja kitchen gadgets and they're great. It looks good, but for that price I would want a machine that actually freezes the ice cream as it churns it. Because otherwise, it's just a a fancy blender imo.

      Having done the thing where you freeze a mix mostly solid and then shove it in the blender, yes. This thing is a fancy blender. I've done all the steps of ice cream making obsession, starting with the freeze and blend method, and then moving to the machine where you have to freeze the bowl overnight, and finally landing on a machine with a compressor. The only reason not to go with the compressor is if you don't want to spend the money. If you're spending money anyway, it's definitely the best choice.

      I got it as a present (before the hype) and I love it, but I absolutely agree. It's a pain to have to plan to make it a day ahead. Although, I do feel like it creates a much better texture than a regular blender. Especially for gelato. It honestly makes some of the best gelato I've ever had. But I still think it's overpriced for what it is. If I ever get another ice cream machine, it will have self freezing capabilities.

    I went through a big sorbet phase a couple of years back that led me to buy an ice cream machine with a compressor (one that chills the mix as it churns). There is a LOT to be said for just deciding on a whim 'I'm going to make ice cream!' and then making it. Or having the freedom to make more than one batch if you're experimenting and want to mess with ratios of ingredients. I don't know how much the Ninja costs, but my guess is that your money would be better spent on a machine that actually chills the ice cream.
    The iciness problem comes from the mix being frozen and then blended, not the recipe. The reason you churn ice cream as it freezes is to keep those little ice crystals from forming. You could legitimately make something as good as what you've got by freezing something mostly solid and then blending it with a blender. I know because I've done it.
    Last thing: The peach sorbet lost flavor because things lose flavor when they're cold. Try adding a solid squirt of lemon juice.
    ETA: I just checked, and the machine I bought is currently $300 on Amazon, but it's a premium brand. There are other brands that are cheaper than the Ninja, and can do everything the Ninja can do plus you don't have to freeze anything in advance.

    The Creami has been a positive in my kitchen. I make gelato, I cook the base on the stove and it turns out wonderful. If it’s crumbly after stirring the freezer is too cold. I just continue to re-spin.
    I really like frozen bananas and choc chips. If the chips are mini, it creates a chocolate banana infusion. I put the choc chips in when mashing the bananas into the container.
    I make all kinds of different flavors and I make gourmet ice cream. Though my fav is Vanilla Gelato made with brown sugar.
    Yes the hype is real. There is a new Creami machine now available that they say takes less space. Also Costco has great deals on these. I purchased for $114. One of the best purchases ever! Just know it is loud. :-)

    One of things I've learned with the creamy is that when you're making the base you have to overshoot the flavour. Make it damn near unbearable in it's liquid form for when you freeze it. Then when you use the creami, it should taste like how you envisioned. But there is a lot of trial and error on getting that flavour profile just right, especially if it's sweetness.

  • @CrimFerret
    @CrimFerret 11 місяців тому +41

    This is more or less a home version of a commercial machine called a 'Pacojet'. Those run $6000+. Once you know what you're doing this is a really good machine. All the reviews where they revisited it said they got far better results with practice and getting the recipes right. I could see making up a batch of different frozen pints and keeping them in the freezer until wanted. I can't eat actual ice cream very often (lactose issues), but this apparently works wonderfully with soy or almond milk as well. Non-dairy ice cream is really expensive and often not all that great. This would make it far easier to have it be good with the flavors and add-ins I wanted.

    I have had a Creami for a year or so now and the gelato recipes in the book are amazing, the vanilla and chocolate ice cream is great too! Rather than running the machine multiple times or adding stuff that doesn’t mix in completely like cream, let the pint sit for a little on the counter before spinning. It gets powdery because it’s too cold. Some freezers make it too cold to blend but I find letting it sit out for 15-20 minutes before blending makes it work great with one run. I just made peach/strawberry sorbet yesterday and strawberry ice cream is up next with farm stand strawberries. It really is fun to experiment with too. It’s just nice making something natural without artificial ingredients. I like ice cream, not “frozen dairy dessert.” 😂

    • @foliepdeux9098
      @foliepdeux9098 8 місяців тому +1

      Yup, let the frozen container sit for 4 minutes or microwave for a few seconds to soften and then the blade can spin through the container easier and faster that will result in a creamier texture. (Better for motor and container) 😊
      Where I live it is 12 dollars for an air filled gluten free pint...this thing will pay for itself in year with me :) I have at least 4 freezing at a time..fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables, liquid non dairy creamers, colors, flavors, mix ins...you will have so much fun learning how to really perfect frozen dairy desert making without the fillers n junk..🎉

    For the ice cream, run the container straight from the freezer. Your ice cream is way too soft. Just throw it in the freezer for an hour to firm it up. Also add 1/8 tsp of xanthan gum which will help with the icey and add body to the ice cream.

  • @luminousmoon86
    @luminousmoon86 11 місяців тому +6

    If you want to make an ice cream with this method that's not as icy, you should try using some type of invert or liquid sugar. Sweetened Condensed Milk is a popular option. Because the sugar is already dissolved, it forms less ice crystals when freezing without being agitated. That's why it's an ingredient in all those "Ice Cream without an Ice Cream Machine" recipes. Because essentially, this machine is not actually an ice cream maker. It's just a really powerful blender with presets that can blend up hard frozen ingredients. An ice cream maker whips air into a liquid base while freezing the mixture (either with a compressor or a frozen bowl or the use of ice and salt in an outer chamber), which helps it not to form large ice crystals.

  • @sarasilly
    @sarasilly 11 місяців тому +7

    The ice cream recipe used in this video needs an emulsifier to prevent ice crystals such as xanthan gum, corn scratch or powdered milk (I use all three when making ice cream).
    Or you could also use a syrup (like maple syrup, condensed milk, or a simple sugar syrup, instead of just granulated sugar since syrups don't freeze.

  • @Hervinbalfour
    @Hervinbalfour 11 місяців тому +9

    I own one and have no regrets! Yes, you can get creamier results with a traditional ice cream freezer. But I've made custard-based ice cream with my Creami and it has turned out great. The only downside is the 24hr wait time before you are able to process your ice cream.

  • @saman_deev
    @saman_deev Рік тому +88

    Great video! I think the issue with the premium ice cream is almost certainly the recipe. I make far too much ice cream for someone who doesn't sell it, and I can tell you that most of the recipes online aren't the greatest, and I think there are a few things that would dramatically improve the texture of yours.
    1. I would add skimmed milk powder to your recipe - In a traditional "Churned" ice cream this would absorb air due to the added proteins, but in this case as it is essentially shaving a block of ice, this wouldn't change much in terms of air absorbotion, but it generally helps "bulk" up the ice cream (adds more solids), it helps the structure, and also the proteins reduce large ice crystal formation, resulting in a far smoother texture.
    2. I would heat all the ingredients before freezing. In commercial ice cream, the ingredients are pasteurized for health and safety reasons, but also due to the fact that the heat enables the sugar to dissolve, and also to hydrate a stabilizer, which is what I am going to come onto next.
    3. Use a stabilizer - stabilizers do wonderful things, such as reduce ice crystal size, enable a slower melting time, etc. There are many on the market (Locust Bean Gum, Guar Gum, Carageenan, Xanthan Gum, Cornstarch, Tara Gum, Gelatin, etc), but the one that is used most heavily in commercial ice cream is Locust Bean Gum (you can find this online quite easily). They typically use it in combination with small amounts of other stabilizers, but the LBG does most of the heavy lifting. Failing that, powdered or leaf gelatin is available in stores and works well. With something like Cornstarch, you will need so much of it to have an effect, it starts impacting the flavour, especially with simple flavours such as Vanilla or Fior Di Latte.
    Here's a recipe I've written for you, based off the Marble Slab list of ingredients that I hope you like:
    Marble Slab inspired sweet cream (makes 1KG):
    - 400g Full fat milk
    - 375g Heavy Cream
    - 150g Sugar
    - 45g Skimmed Milk Powder
    - 30g Corn Syrup
    - 3g Locust Bean Gum.
    I have used corn syrup as a "secondary sugar". Sugars play important roles in ice cream, not only as a sweetener, but it also stops some of the water from freezing, hence we are left with a scoopable product, rather than solid ice. Corn syrup is less sweet than sugar, but still has the same effect of lowering the freezing point. I've balanced this recipe to my personal preferences, which is an approximate sweetness of 17.4% (of that of eating an equivilant amount of sugar), and an ideal serving temperature of -14C.
    Heat the Milk, cream and corn syrup up in a saucepan to 40C. In a bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients, and add to the contents of the saucepan, stirring as you pour them in. Heat the mix to 85C, hold at 85 for 30 seconds, then transfer into a container to chill to room temp. Pour into the Creami container and freeze. Spin in the machine.
    You can use this recipe as a base, and add other flavourings to it (try infusing it with vanilla, or steep some mint in the milk, or add extracts to it).
    I would love to see more ice cream videos on the channel.

    You can buy a $60 ice cream bowl that can be used with your kitchen aid mixer (if you have one already) you just have to freeze the bowl (for at least 12 hours, so overnight), and you can add the ingredients at room temp right into it. Feel like it works better for me personally because I store the bowl underneath in a cabinet when not in use and it's literally the only extra attachment to the machine. I also think they sell cheaper similar machines that work the same way as this bowl, if you don't want to spend $250 on a machine that you may or may not use that much. Edit to add: Also I prefer the bowl method like I own because it's freezing as it stirs the ice cream, thus eliminating that iciness Laurie described problem.

    • @choreomaniac
      @choreomaniac 11 місяців тому

      So the advantage of the creami is that you can make multiple flavors in one day (actually within a few minutes), whereas you have to refeeeze the bowl for most other cheaper machines. It also takes up much less room in your freezer if that matters especially since for traditional ice cream base you have to heat it and then cool it as close to freezing as possible before you make ice cream.
      But if you make ice cream once a month, it’s a fine option.

    For anyone looking for Creami tips:
    1) The cream cheese/jello powder goes in at the beginning before you freeze (only 1 tbsp is necessary)
    2) You can microwave the pint (lid off) for 30 seconds to make it easier to scrape off any bumps
    3) I recommend adding a tbsp of sugar or stevia for protein ice cream
    4) You do not have to add more liquid before respinning (it can help, but it can also dilute the flavor. just continue to respin until creamy).

    personally, I love having a creami. its especially great to make dairy free ice creams, which I never had success with using ice cream makers. I also like being able to make any sort of creation possible, whereas with ice cream makers there needs to be specific ratios and ingredients (we used to have one). Its also great for smoothie bowls that are nice and thick because unless you have a vitamix, I've never been able to get thick smoothie bowls from just a blender. My favorite thing to make is dairy free frozen yogurt, it comes out amazing and the flavor possibilities are literally endless.
    oh and I have discovered for a creamier icecream, it needs to be higher in fat. I was first using almond milk for mine but it came too icey, so we switched to coconut milk (from the can) it now its perfect. I assume the same goes for dairy, use higher fat for more creamy smooth texture.

      ​@chargestone96 long story short sugar said you can make your buttercream dark with a hand blender. Anne said no, that just beats the air out which concentrates the frosting thus a darker color. But it wont be a light fluffy butter cream and for darker buttercream use more coloring since the air will lighten it. Apparently this led to drama.
      Its science at its core. Whip air into a frosting it will lighten. Remove air by using the stick blender it'll darken, but also be less fluffy because less air. Its just about air content.

    I’m getting back into ice cream making after a long hiatus, and one recommendation is to heat your ice cream base, either to the scalding point or to just starting to boil, then cool it and proceed (if you’re using eggs in your base, however, you might want to leave it on a low boil for about a minute, and always keep an eye on it, as the milk froth will boil over VERY quickly). Particularly with any bases that include milk, heating the milk breaks down proteins that would otherwise make the ice cream more icy. I had very good results with this method in the past using a freezer bowl Cuisinart maker. I just got a Whynter compressor maker and looking forward to getting back into it, making lower sugar whole milk recipes and refreshing sorbets ❤️😸

    • @lunabelletheinsane
      @lunabelletheinsane Рік тому +1

      Yes. The iciness she kept describing was because she was just mixing up mostly frozen ingredients and they were thawing out as the machine mixed so they were just creating really large ice crystals, as opposed to the machine you mentioned, or even just an ice cream bowl attachment to your mixer (I own this) that is re-freezing the mixture as it churns making much much smaller ice crystals. The machine here is basically just an overpriced stick blender - you can do the exact same method with a stick blender and get very similar results as the creami.

  • @graefx
    @graefx 10 місяців тому +3

    The "hump" comes from it unevenly freezing. I find it is much more pronounced when using substitute sweetener and thickener/stabilizer like xanthym or guar gum. Those slow the freezing, it freezes from the outside in, which pushes the unfrozen up giving you the hump. For protein ice creams, I'll freeze it with the lid off for the first 12 hours or so. As long as there's nothing funky in your freezer it's fine, though there can be a little freezer burn taste if you leave it open for more than 24h

    I think an important thing to bring up is this is not making ice cream. This is making ground up ice, which while can be similar to ice cream, it is not legally ice cream. I'm sure if you look at the box, it'll probably say "makes frozen deserts" because it cannot make legal ice cream. That's also why the texture would be very grainy and icy. Great video, Laurie!

Yummy but better in a mousse pie. Most of the time you will need to respin. DO remember to defrost on the counter for 10m so you don't break your ninja blade.
