How does the Ninja Creami work?
The Ninja Creami transforms frozen solid bases into ice cream, sorbets, milkshakes and more, at the touch of a button. Ninja’s Creamify technology enables the Creami to break down a uniformly frozen block into an incredibly smooth, creamy texture in just 2-5 minutes. You'll have to prepare the base in advance, but this part is easy. Just take the ingredients of your favorite ice cream, sorbet or milkshake recipe, blend them and then freeze overnight to get the base.
How much does the Ninja Creami cost?
You can purchase the Ninja Creami for $229.99 on NinjaKitchen.com.
