When we see a popular kitchen gadget, we always want to try it out… but it needs to be pretty impressive to really grab our attention. Consider our attention GRABBED. This countertop whiz stands out among the other DIY-frozen-treat devices out there… It’s legitimately the coolest, and we’re OBSESSED.
All About the CREAMi!
Ninja CREAMi 7-in-1 Ice Cream Maker
Create better-for-you treats in pint-sized amounts, customized specifically for you! The Ninja CREAMi is uniquely equipped to turn a frozen-solid base into a creamy, scoopable treat—other appliances just don’t have the juice. The seven one-touch programs provide the perfect combo of speed, pressure, and time to whip up whatever you choose: Ice Cream, Lite Ice Cream, Gelato, Milkshake, Smoothie Bowl, Mix-In, or (the setting of the day) Sorbet! Just load up the pint-sized container with ingredients, freeze it overnight, then pop it on the base and select your setting. It’s an investment for sure, but it’s a high-quality product, and there really is nothing else that can do quite what the CREAMi does…
HG Alternative for Today’s Recipes…
Don’t have a CREAMi and can’t spring for one right now? You can blend together the frozen fruit with the liquid, and then re-freeze until it’s firmer but still spoonable. The texture won’t be quite as impressive, but it’ll still taste great!
