What is a Ninja Creami?
The Ninja Creami is a high-powered appliance that transforms frozen milk-based mixtures into smooth, creamy ice cream in minutes. Unlike traditional ice cream makers, it freezes the mixture solid first, then shaves it down and blends it into a soft, scoopable texture using its unique spin technology.
It’s perfect for high-protein recipes because it allows you to use whey protein, pudding mixes, and low-calorie milk alternatives without affecting the final texture.

How to Make Ninja Creami Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Ice Cream
See recipe card for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Mix the Base
To start, add the protein powder, pudding mix, frozen strawberries, salt, and semi-skimmed milk directly into the Ninja Creami container. Using a handheld milk frother, I mix everything until the texture is smooth and completely lump-free.
Freeze the Base
Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, cover, and freeze for 24 hours.
Process and Add Mix-Ins
Remove the frozen base and process it on the Lite Ice Cream setting. Scoop a small hole in the centre of the ice cream and add the digestive biscuit. Add a splash of milk if needed, then use the Mix-In setting to combine everything.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve the creamy ice cream and enjoy!
Tips
- Use a Handheld Milk Frother. This ensures the base is smooth and lump-free for the creamiest result.
- Let It Soften: Take the ice cream out of the freezer 10 minutes before processing for the best consistency. If the base is too hard, rinse the container under hot water for a few seconds.
- 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
- Change the Milk: Swap for almond milk or another dairy-free option for a plant-based variation.
- Swap the biscuit: Use graham crackers or Biscoff for a different flavour profile.
Storage
Store any leftover ice cream in the Ninja Creami container and refreeze. Before serving again, use the Lite Ice Cream to restore the creamy texture.
