A cold dessert sounds good when the weather heats up, but a large store-bought tub can be more than you need. These 11 Ninja Creami recipes include fruit-based sorbet, frozen yogurt, tropical smoothie bowls, and smaller batches of familiar ice cream flavors. Prepare the bases ahead when needed, spin them when you are ready to eat, and serve each treat soft from the machine or return it to the freezer for firmer scoops.
Ninja Creami Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Blended with whole milk, heavy cream, cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and fresh strawberries, Ninja Creami Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream needs 15 minutes of prep before freezing for 24 hours. Spin the frozen base on the Ice Cream cycle, then use the Mix-In setting for more berries and crushed vanilla biscuit. Serve the four portions right away with extra strawberries and cookie crumbs. The cheesecake tang and fresh fruit make every spoonful worth slowing down for.

Ninja Creami Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Speckled with seeds from real vanilla pods, Ninja Creami Vanilla Bean Ice Cream combines whole milk, heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and a pinch of salt. The four-serving base takes 8 minutes to prepare, followed by a full day in the freezer before spinning. Eat it soft from the machine or freeze it briefly when firmer scoops sound better. Add berries, chocolate sauce, or sprinkles at the table so everyone can finish a bowl differently.

It is an easy one to eat outside when the afternoon is hot.

Ninja Creami Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Bright peppermint flavor runs through Ninja Creami Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, a four-serving recipe made with whole milk, heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and chocolate chips. Prepare the base in 13 minutes, freeze it for 24 hours, then run the Ice Cream cycle. Add the chocolate through the Mix-In setting and serve immediately for a softer texture. Waffle cones or small bowls keep this classic flavor simple at dessert time.

Ninja Creami Peach Cobbler Ice Cream
Starting with full-fat peach yogurt, canned peaches, cinnamon, vanilla, and a little sugar, Ninja Creami Peach Cobbler Ice Cream needs 10 minutes of prep before freezing overnight. Spin the pint on the Ice Cream setting and use Re-Spin with a spoonful of yogurt or milk if the texture looks crumbly. Divide the batch into two servings and top each with sliced peaches and granola. Add the granola just before eating so it keeps its cobbler-like crunch.

Ninja Creami S’mores Ice Cream
Cocoa powder turns a milk-and-cream base chocolatey in Ninja Creami S’mores Ice Cream, while graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate chips bring in the familiar campfire flavors. The recipe takes 10 minutes to prepare, freezes for 24 hours, and makes four servings. Toast the marshmallows under the broiler while the pint spins, then fold everything in with the Mix-In cycle. Serve in bowls while the marshmallows are still chewy and the graham cracker pieces have some bite.

Ninja Creami Smoothie Bowl
Packed directly into the pint with frozen mango, frozen pineapple, lemon juice, and Greek yogurt, Ninja Creami Smoothie Bowl comes together in 5 minutes and makes one serving. Process the mixture until it is thick enough to hold toppings rather than drink through a straw. Spoon it into a bowl and serve with fresh fruit, nuts, or hemp seeds. Eat it for breakfast, after a workout, or whenever something cold and fruity sounds better than a full dessert.

Ninja Creami Chocolate Ice Cream

Whisk the base in 10 minutes, freeze it for at least 24 hours, and process it using the Ice Cream setting. The recipe makes two servings, with a splash of milk added before Re-Spin when needed. Serve it in cones or bowls and eat it plain, or finish it with berries or a few chocolate chips.

Ninja Creami Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
Crushed Oreo cookies are folded into Ninja Creami Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, which starts with whole milk, heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla. The five-ingredient recipe takes 10 minutes to prepare, freezes for one day, and produces four servings. Spin the vanilla base first, then add the cookies through the Mix-In cycle so pieces remain throughout. Scoop it into bowls for movie night or serve it in cones when you want less cleanup afterward.

Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt
Stirred together with Greek yogurt and honey, Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt uses two main ingredients and takes 10 minutes to prepare. Freeze the pint flat for at least 24 hours, then process it until creamy, using Re-Spin if the first pass looks powdery. The recipe makes two servings that can be topped with walnuts and another drizzle of honey. Serve it after a workout or eat it as a cool afternoon snack when plain yogurt needs a change.

Ninja Creami Dole Whip
Tropical and smooth, Ninja Creami Dole Whip blends frozen pineapple with full-fat coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt. Because the fruit begins frozen, the four-serving recipe takes only 5 minutes from start to finish without an overnight freeze. Blend until thick, then spoon or pipe it into cups for serving. Eat it immediately for a soft texture that works especially well beside fresh pineapple or toasted coconut.
