What is a Ninja Creami?
The Ninja Creami is a frozen dessert maker that turns solid frozen bases into smooth, scoopable treats like ice cream, gelato, and sorbet. Unlike traditional machines, it freezes the mix first and then uses a spinning blade to shave it into a creamy texture.
It’s a game-changer for high-protein recipes because you can use simple ingredients like fruit, protein powder, and sweetener without compromising the texture or taste.

Freeze the Base
Pour the mix into your Ninja Creami container and freeze upright for 24 hours.
Ninja Creami
Once frozen solid, place the container into the Ninja Creami and run the Sorbet setting. If the texture is crumbly after the first spin, ause the re-spin feature. You should have a perfectly smooth, fruity protein sorbet ready to enjoy.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve the sorbet and enjoy!
Tips
- Use a Handheld Milk Frother: This ensures the base is smooth and lump-free for the creamiest result.
- Use ripe mangoes: The riper the mango, the sweeter and smoother the texture will be.
- Freeze Without the Lid: To prevent a hump in the frozen base, freeze it uncovered first, then add the lid once the surface is flat.
Recipe Variations & Substitutions
- Switch the fruit: Try frozen pineapple or peaches instead of mango for a new twist.
- Swap the Protein Powder: Try a different flavour like chocolate or caramel for a unique twist.
Storage
Store any leftover sorbet in the Ninja Creami container and refreeze. Before serving again, use the Sorbet setting to restore the creamy texture.
Frequently Asked Questions
