Homemade ice cream exactly the way your family likes it

The Ninja CREAMi Deluxe NC501 turns simple frozen bases into proper ice cream, gelato, sorbet and more, so you know exactly what ingredients go in. It is an 11-in-1 machine, giving you the flexibility to switch from classic ice cream to Italian ice, frozen yoghurt, Slushi and Creamiccino depending on what everyone is in the mood for.

Two motors work through the frozen base to break down ice crystals and produce a smooth, creamy result rather than a gritty one, and the re-spin function lets you run it again for an even softer texture. The mix-ins setting folds through chocolate, nuts, fruit or lollies without turning them to mush, so every scoop still has proper texture and crunch. The deluxe tubs hold 50% more than the original Ninja CREAMi, which means less refilling when you are making dessert for the whole family.

The process is straightforward: prepare your base, freeze it overnight, then process and serve. Containers, lids and the paddle are all dishwasher safe on the top rack, so there is no fiddly hand-washing after. At 800W, it sits comfortably on the bench and becomes an easy weekend habit rather than a special-occasion appliance.
