Here's a tip for you. You don't have to eat in one go. You can spin just the top part of the container and eat that one night and then spin the bottom for the next night. No need to spin the entire container at once. 😊
@@FitFoodAE I just realized you have the basic Ninja Cremi version. The Deluxe version allows you to mix the top only, bottom only, or full pint. It's game changing 😂
@@myaccount99006 I actually used to do that before I realized I had the feature. It works. Just make sure it's tamped down as best as possible and flat on top.
@@Selfdev-fc6dl It just seems a little less icy, but it really depends on what you're making. No gum will magically make a low-fat mixture feel like full-fat ice cream.
Idk if you mentioned this but something that makes a HUGE difference is making sure your mixture is fully blended if you don’t blend it enough the mixture ends up a weird consistency
Like Xanthan, be very sparing with the guar gum, it's very potent stuff. I didn't realize when I first got my creami and put a full teaspoon in... It came out sorta like frozen string marshmallows... It would stretch like stretchy pizza cheese. 1/8th of a teaspoon is much more appropriate for pint sized portions.
yeah, Guar gum is better for things that are going to be frozen...although Xanthan is what Starbucks uses to stabilize frappuccinos and keep them from separating as they sit
Don't press respin I had a creami and it broke got a new one stopped pressing respin and never saw a problem and make sure there is no icy mountain on top keep it very flat smooth and if your wondering what should you use instead of respin is first ice cream or lite ice cream and second spin sorbet it comes out super smooth! Np
The biggest issue they see is it breaking from the mountain middle on top. Try placing it in freezer without the top for a few hours, then put the top on. Stops the mountain.
I've heard so many differing opinions and urban legends of what to do or not do with this machine - I read you should not put the container in hot water because it will cause the entire contents to spin/rotate instead of allowing the machine to shave it down
My Creami arrives in a couple of days. I already have the pints so I made a couple of recipes to be ready to go when it arrives. I tasted the mixtures before I put them into the freezer. They tasted more like pudding instead of ice cream and I must say I am disappointed. Will they taste better after they are mixed? Would I be better off using some other ingredient as a thickener?
Hey I don't understand. All of the UA-cam ninja people like you show the pint very full to the top, but when I make ice cream and stick to the fill line, the pint has a huge hole in the middle and most of the ice cream around the sides. So it turns out to be much less than a complete pint up to the top. How do you make that happen? Are you combining more than 1 pint for the video?
Any sugar or sweetener that dissolves on liquids should be fine. Since you mix it first, before freezing, just regular granulated sugar works just fine though, you can't notice any granules since it's dissolved before freezing anyway.
I just didn't understand one thing, why after I made the ice cream and put in the freezer , after a couple of hours in the freezer it crystallizes again and the texture that was immediately after Creamy is gone. It turns out that you need to eat all
If you wanna eat it again then just let the rest of it sit on the counter rather than spinning for a third time. I agree it doesn’t turn out as well though
One more question, after reading the comments about what to do if you only eat half of the pint of ice cream. Do you have to make an entire pint, could you just make half a pint?
I used to make a full pint and then eat half and respin but now I just split my mixture into two pints so I don't have to scoop it and do the extra work to figure out where the halfway point is etc
@@aayesha2o13 good to know. I have several pints so that would be no problem. Most of the time it is only my husband and myself, we like different flavors so an entire pint would not be eaten at one time.
Uuugh I'm giving my ninja creami a full viniger bath as we speak. This is after making sure it's clean every time. Idk what else I can do to make sure it's fully clean everytime

No 😂😂😂
Sorry this makes no sense to me like how?? LOL
@@FitFoodAE I just realized you have the basic Ninja Cremi version. The Deluxe version allows you to mix the top only, bottom only, or full pint. It's game changing 😂
even if you don't have the Deluxe, could you just tamp down what you don't eat and respin later?

Suggestions: Matcha / key lime
Xantham gum helps with the icing, if mixed well.
you should try to freeze the mix ins before hand maybe you will like it for the brownie i freeze my cookies before hand
You can use plant based milks and get a creamy texture. I am vegan and only use soya milk and it comes out perfect
I’ve never tried soya milk! Noted
Yes . I use almond milk
My favorite binders are cottage or ricotta cheese instead of pudding. Sometimes still add about a gram of Xantham or Guar gum.
Mascarpone is elite as a binder.
🤢
I use tara gum. Works great.
Your vids have really helped. Appreciate it!
Appreciate you!
I recommend guar gum and locust bean gum for ice cream. Xanthan gum is slimy to me, no matter how little I use.
what texture does it give ?
@@Selfdev-fc6dl It just seems a little less icy, but it really depends on what you're making. No gum will magically make a low-fat mixture feel like full-fat ice cream.
When I have a half pot in the freezer, I put it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to soften it before serving. I don't even respin it.
Ok this is a good tip
Thank you for sharing, I love my ninja creamie!
Of course!! Me too
Thanks for this vidéo 😊

Yea for sure!
Can I use Sugar Free Jello mix as opposed to Pudding mix? I am wanting to use Strawberry and there isn't a Strawberry Pudding mix.
Yes!
@@FitFoodAE Would I need to heat a liquid to boiling to mix with jello packet? And would I use water?
Guar gum works better
I need to try this
someone recommended tara gum before I bought mine so I got some and it's been successful
@@myaccount99006 I've never heard of Tara Gum, does it work?

Rum and raisin would be great
I made a rum and raisin one. Sooooo good!
With the rum Raisin do you soak them overnight!
Have you done a butter pecan 🤔🙂

Why in the world would respin be harmful
Hmmm idk about this one but I might try it
@@eleveethat's what I'm wondering! I use it all the time

Lemon, and butter pecan ice cream
This sounds delicious 😮
So how do I measure 5 g of sugar free pudding mix without a scale? Is it 1 T? Same for the xantham gum, how much is 2 g, 1/8 t?
The left over ice cream we put back into the freezer and serve later do not re-stir
You can re-stir, just hit the actual ice cream button instead of the re-spin button.
@aquagamer1212 trying this
This is very helpful tysm! Xx
Of course ❤️

The notches in the bottom of container will keep it from spinning. Just don't get the 30 seconds of hot water run on the bottom.
@@kenaitchison3259It's not the container that spins. It's the contents of it
I freeze mine for 6 hrs and comes out nice and creamy. I have 0 patience to wait 24 hrs.
Mint chocolate chip please thanks.
Ahhh I don’t really like that flavour haha
You can take a plain vanilla base and get LorAnn Mint Chocolate Chip flavor fountain and it is delicious.

Yes, they'll taste better when the machine does its magic. Don't overthink it too much
Would love to see a pistachio. Ty
I’ve gotten requests for this but I hate that flavour 😭😭

No I’m not combining more than one pint, I just mixed the ice cream around a bit and it looked like that
Why do you only choose "light ice cream"? Thx.
Because that’s the setting for low cal ice cream
Question for you, can you put a candy cane in the ninja creami as an add in?
Yup I made a recipe with that recently
Would powdered sugar work as well as granulated sugar in these recipes?
Any sugar or sweetener that dissolves on liquids should be fine. Since you mix it first, before freezing, just regular granulated sugar works just fine though, you can't notice any granules since it's dissolved before freezing anyway.

@@FitFoodAE I ended up adding some milk and using mix up mode .
My pint containers have done the same thing. I wonder why they warp like that. Maybe the dishwasher??
Yea maybe 😢
If you have the heat dry setting on your dishwasher, turn it off so it won't warp your pints.
Never thought of this! Ty
when you make ice cream and freeze it again - do you have to run it through the creami every time after?
ah crap u answered it in tip 7 actually lol
Passion fruit please
Good idea

Off topic: I love your hair🥵
Thank you ☺️
Another UA-cam creator suggests tara gum over xantham gum.
Oh I’ve never heard of that haha
Peanut butter cheesecake, please.
Ouu that sounds cool
out of topic but you have really nice prominent cheekbones, anywho thanks for the video! ❤
Uuugh I'm giving my ninja creami a full viniger bath as we speak. This is after making sure it's clean every time. Idk what else I can do to make sure it's fully clean everytime
Oh shit I never clean mine like that haha
