FAQS

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MILK IN THE HEALTHY NINJA CREAMI RECIPES?

Absolutely! You can use any plant-based milk of your choice, such as soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.

CAN I MAKE NON-DAIRY OR VEGAN FROZEN DESSERTS WITH THE NINJA CREAMI?

Yes, the Ninja Creami is perfect for making non-dairy or vegan frozen desserts. You can use ingredients like coconut milk, almond milk, or other plant-based alternatives as a base for your creations.

There are also many recipes available specifically designed for non-dairy or vegan options.

WHY ARE MY NINJA CREAMI RECIPES TURNING OUT ICY?

If you’re finding that your healthy ninja creami recipes are coming out with icy edges, there are two ingredients that can tackle this issue. 

Firstly, consider incorporating instant pudding mix or jello mix. These mixes contain elements like modified starches and gelatin, acting as effective thickeners. 

When integrated into your recipe, the pudding mix contributes to a denser consistency, minimizing the formation of ice crystals and yielding a silkier texture.

Another helpful ingredient is guar gum, a natural thickening and stabilizing agent derived from the guar bean. When introduced into your Ninja Creami recipes, guar gum works to enhance viscosity, resulting in a smooth and creamy texture.

Its thickening properties play a crucial role in averting the formation of large ice crystals, delivering a more luxurious and velvety consistency to your frozen delights.

DO I REALLY NEED TO FREEZE THE DELICIOUS ICE CREAM FOR 24 HOURS?

If you don’t want to wait the full 24 hours, (which I don’t blame you for), then you can spin after 12 hours. Do not run the frozen pint under hot water if you have only waited 12 hours, and do not add any extra liquid. 

You may also only need to spin the mixture once on lite ice cream setting. If the ice cream is still slightly powdery after the first spin, mix again using the “mix-ins” setting as this will be less aggressive than the “re-spin” option.

DO I NEED TO ADD THE PROTEIN POWDER TO THESE HEALTHY NINJA CREAMI RECIPES?

Not at all! Protein powder is great for a boost of nutrition, but you can leave it out and stick to simple, wholesome ingredients if you prefer.

CAN I MAKE SMALLER PORTIONS?

The pint containers are standard size, but you can freeze partially filled pints for smaller servings. Just ensure the mixture is level.

CAN I USE ALCOHOL IN THESE HEALTHY NINJA CREAMI RECIPES?

Yes, but in small amounts! Alcohol lowers the freezing point, so adding too much can affect the texture of your dessert.
