Thought it would be a good idea to make a thread where we can share idea's, recipes and discuss the range of Ninja CREAMi machines.

I'll update this later.

For me I have the CREAMi Deluxe 10 in 1 Ice cream and frozen drink maker and so far we have used Cornish Clotted ice cream, caster sugar with nuts and raisins (first time and only added to test) and have also made a coconut + cocoa, caster sugar with Madagascan Vanilla and yesterday made an Almond milk, Green & Blacks organic Cocoa, with a double espresso from the Nespresso and Madagascan Vanilla, which I will probably blend in some Crunchie rocks into it.

For now I've followed rough guides in the booklet and have added more caster sugar to anything that is not already sweet to start with.

This is a coconut milk and cocoa ice cream.

For this I added 1 can of unsweetened coconut milk, 1.5 teaspoons of Madagascan Vanilla, 95g caster sugar and a tablespoon of Green & Blacks organic Cocoa powder to a blender and blitzed it for a minute.
This was then poured into the CREAMi pot to the line and placed in the freezer for 24 hours (my freezer is at -18°c)
After 24 hours it was then placed into the CREAMi and it was set at Ice Cream on Top setting and then did a Re-Spin because it resembled mini ball bearings on one spin, but the second spin gave it a really soft texture.

Pot washed and back into the freezer with a pina colada for tomorrow.

I've just made some, but completely differently.

1 Tbsp cream cheese
3 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 Tsp vanilla extract
50g caster sugar
1/2 Tsp salt
220ml double cream
170ml milk
Handful of dark chocolate chips

All blitzed up in a blender, and tbh I could quite easily just drink the whole lot now, but I won't.
Looking forward to trying it.

That sounds really nice and one I've got to try :)
 
Double espresso + Almond milk and 95g caster sugar blitzed up and left for 24hrs in the freezer.
On Ice Cream setting + a Re-Spin and added a Belgium chocolate waffle after adding the ice cream to the bowl.

Got the nod of approval from the boss :D

Got the day off work and there’s room in the freezer, so the plan is to get stuck in.

Got some passion fruit that needs to be used so that’s one.

Always been partial to strawberry ice cream so bought some strawberries. There’s 2.

For some reason I still have a hankering for rum and raisin and I’ve got some rum from Barbados knocking about. Guess that’s 3.

Keen to explore something with coconut milk as well as I’ve recently found a great coconut milk.

See you in the weight loss thread.

Laugh smiley added for last comment.

First one we made was with reduced fat coconut milk, which strangely enough comes in the correct sized tin as per the recipe. What one are you thinking of using.
I think the spirit will have to be added later when you make the ice cream as it doesn't freeze...Hopefully someone can confirm and perhaps knows a way around? I was thinking of making small spirit jellies to add before freezing...

I like the idea with the passion fruit (have one in the fridge) and strawberries are always a winner.
Picked up a jar of Kasar Mango pulp in the Asian section of a supermarket at the weekend and am looking forward to trying that.

Presuming I can just follow a normal recipe then freeze it in the bowl thing?

Passion fruit

Just scale it to fit into the Ninja bowl I guess.
Have done similar previously and haven't encountered any issues.

We use the below as a reference

I can also recommend the use of at least 1/4 teaspoon to a full teaspoon of Xanthan Gum (others available) in the making as this keeps the ice cream scoopable after it's been made into ice cream and added back to the freezer. It can also make it chewy and springy, which was nice :)

So after a quick look around it appears to be down to the Proof of the spirit, so guess my Polish Vodka is not going to be used then :D

Didn’t check the strength of my rum from Barbados, guess I’ll find out later tonight when we sample my first batch.

He did a strong Rum as well in the video and that worked.

I'll look later to see if it is a particular type of spirit that doesn't freeze.
 
This was a large jar of sweetened mango pulp found in the Asian section of a supermarket and 1/2 teaspoon of Xanthan gum.

Lovely and sticky with a nice texture.
