Why are my Ninja Creami recipes coming out powdery?

If your Ninja Creami recipes result in a powdery or crumbly texture, it usually means the mixture is too cold or lacks enough fat/sugar. Simply add a tablespoon of liquid and use the 'Re-spin' button to fix this.

Can I use almond milk in Ninja Creami recipes?

Yes, you can use almond milk, but because of its high water content, the result may be icier. Adding a thickener like guar gum or pudding mix helps keep dairy-free Ninja Creami recipes creamy.

Do I really need to freeze for 24 hours?

Yes! For the best Ninja Creami recipes, a full 24-hour freeze ensures the base is solid enough for the blade to shave it into the correct micro-crystal texture.

How do I store leftovers of my Ninja Creami recipes?

Level the top of the remaining ice cream in the pint and freeze. When you want to eat it again, you may need to 'Re-spin' it to restore the creamy texture.
