- Get The Ultimate Ninja Creami Experience with Kathy Hester for more whole food plant-based recipes, videos, how-tos, tips, troubleshooting, and more! Read all the details here: kathyhester.th...
It combines tons of videos, an ebook with over 30 recipes plus color photos for each, with 2 live events thrown in for good measure!
You know I love my Ninja Creami and if you just got yours, this is the perfect recipe to start with. All you need is some ripe bananas, some vanilla, and possibly a splash of your favorite non-dairy milk.
If you haven't heard about nice cream before, it tastes just like banana ice cream but it has no fat or added sugar (unless you use bananas that aren't ripe enough).
If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can add in some date syrup or maple syrup. How will you know? Taste it before you freeze it! This is a rule for using the Creami Ice Cream Maker.
You don't even need to blend this - just mash the bananas in your Ninja Creami pint with the vanilla and mix in enough non-dairy milk to reach the max fill line.
Freeze 24 hours on a flat surface, then spin on the smoothie or ice cream setting.

Very well explained. I've watched a number of Ninja Creami videos - you're the only one that really takes the time for slowly showing what might be important to someone who hasn't used the machine yet. Thanks also for all tips.
Thank you for letting me know that!
I totally agree with you. Just bought a Ninja CREAMi Deluxe machine and am clueless for recipes, etc. Kathy's tutorials are wonderful for someone like me who is just getting started. I can't wait to try this recipe as well as some of her other ones.
If you freeze without the lid, the bump doesn't happen. ❤
This is honestly such a good tutorial video on how to use the appliance. There are so many gems in here that are so applicable to so many different things about different recipes and just the mechanics of the appliance..
Im so grateful you took the time to explain things so that I don't end up breaking my creami or messing up future recipes.
I hope you enjoy your Creami creations!
Thank you for your videos.
Based on this banana recipe and your pineapple recipe, I made my first plant-based ice cream and loved it.
Piña Colada Ice Cream (no dairy)
1 can coconut cream (unsweetened) (13.6 oz)
1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz)
1 can sweetened condensed coconut milk (13.5 oz)
1 can Dole crushed pineapple in pineapple juice (20 oz)
4 Tbs sweetened coconut flakes
1 Tbs spiced rum
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp rum extract
1/4 tsp coconut extract
1 banana (chunks)
Blend ingredients in blender (I used a 72oz Ninja blender)
Makes 4 pints
Sounds delicious.
Thank You for taking the time to create and share this wonderfully informational and helpful video with us all ❤️
I just ordered my Ninja creami from Amazon. This video is just what l needed. It was so well explained and your adorable little cat l just had to subscribe. Sending love from the French Alpes.
Thank you so much!
I use a paint pen to label my pint pots. Condensation doesn't affect it, but it easily rubs off with a damp cloth when you no longer need it.
Nice!
Hello pretty Lady
This was the first recipe I tried with my Creami, loved it! Thanks for a helpful tutorial and easy, delicious dessert!
So glad it was helpful!
You’re fantastic 🎉 I love how real your video is… it’s like being at a friends house who knows awesome things ❤❤
Thank you so much!
Kathy, this is an awesome real beginners video to learn the basics of using the machine. Just what I needed. Thank you. I love your channel!
Yay!
So excited to find your channel! Just got my parents one for Christmas and your videos are great and will be easy enough for them to watch and understand!❤
Awesome! Thank you!
HAVE MADE ICECREAM IN A BLENDER AND ITS STUNNING
Great explanations, thank you 🙏
I love all your cookbooks! So glad to find you on TH-cam! 🇨🇦
I'm glad too!
Hello pretty Lady
Thanks for the video. I haven't used my machine yet but your video has me confident as I know now exactly what to expect. Also thanks for showing a video that is basically banana and dairy free. This was exactly what I was looking for in a recipe as well as a tutorial
Thank you for your detailed explanation of every part of the Creami ! I just got mine and vegan to vegan.....I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED to start making my own vegan, LOW sugar ice creams ! You're a great teacher
Thank you!
I love your videos on the Creami. It is like you read my mind in that all I want to do is take fruit and maybe two other simple and natural ingredients and make myself a cold ice cream like dessert. You have shown me the way. I got my Creami at Costco for $99 which is half off what I originally saw it for last year. I see that they just came out with a version 2, but the first version is all i really need. Thank you so much for your videos!!
I'm so glad you are finding them helpful! I'm finding that you can do all the same things in the original as the deluxe so enjoy!
I love the Kitty in the back and I like your hair colour. Thanks for the video. I love banana non-dairy ice cream.
Hello pretty Lady
Thank you so so much for this video❤ I have the Ninja since some days and this was just what I needed❤❤❤
Good tip with scraping it to help level it out.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for all the detailed explanations! I just unboxed this and I want to be sure everything is done correctly. I love the banana but I want to use some of my protein power in the mix. THAMK YOU!❤
You would be a fantastic School teacher! You don’t miss anything. Great video! Have you heard of the “Yonanas”? It makes ice cream out of bananas too. I love to toss warm toasted almond slices on my banana “ice cream”. So yummy! You really feel like you’re doin something wrong😎haha! I made four batches of strawberry creami ice cream today. I have to heat the berries up before I add them because lectins hate me. Wow, did they make some sweet treats. Also, I used to drink organic almond milk before I found out they add preservatives before they package at a separate facility. It was giving me horrible migraines. Just a heads up for anybody out there per chance in the same boat. Definitely going to watch more of your vids. 👍
I have tried the Yonana and I do like the Creami better. Have you tried making your own almond milk? It's super easy!
@@KathyHesterVeganRecipes I haven’t checked out making almond milk. But I will now! Thanks🤗 The creami is WAY better for sure❣️
Thank you so very much for all the instructions you’ve covered. The ‘muffin scoop’ you used is actually an ‘Ice cream scoop’ in the uk & I’ve only just started using it for muffins & fairy cakes.
I can’t wait to be able to buy your cookbook when it comes out. Thank you again.
Hello
This was the perfect video to show up in my feed today as I had three overripe bananas needing a purpose! :)
Yay!
I noticed your cat quite comfortable with the noise of the creami. I’ve ordered mine and your detailed video was very helpful, thanks for sharing.
I totally agree that one of the perks of the Creami versus doing this in a food processor is the ease of cleanup!
Thank you for showing us how to make ice cream. Your video is Very well explained and shows everything clearly.
You are so welcome!
Simply want to say thanks. Your tips were very informative. I can now use my Ninja creami without apprehension
Yay!!
Thank you for the video. I wasn't sure if this would be better than a food processor. For me I think I will stick to the food processor since when I decide I want nice cream I want it now. 😂
Very informative
Could I use vanilla powder for does the extract have to be liquid?
You totally can. And I'm using the powder as an option in my book.
Hello pretty Lady
Kathy - When do you imagine your Ninji Ice Cream book is going to come out and will you also include ingredient amounts for those of us who have purchased the 11-in-1 Deluxe unit? Love all that you do. 🥰💕👍
It came out a month ago and you can get it here: kathyhester.thrivecart.com/wfpb-ninja-creami-e-cookbook-nce/
If you got the Ninja Creami Experience, it is the same ebook that's in it. For the Deluxe, just make 1 1/2 of the recipes - so if it calls for 1 cup use 1 1/2 cups, etc.
Great recipe and you are a fantastic teacher, thank you so much! Also I ❤your shirts.
Thank you!
Very well explained thank you ❤️
Hello pretty Lady
Hey, Kathy, thanks for this demo. My take aways were most beneficial! I'm very thankful for your step-by-step instructions. New to your channel, will be viewing for more useful how-to dos.
Hello pretty Lady
I just got my Ninja Creami and wish I would have found this video before I tried it on my own. This is so helpful and I'm looking forward to trying your Banana creami recipe!
So happy I could help!
Thanks! Can’t wait for your cookbook !!!
Thank you for your encoragement. Spun up 3 new flavors and took photos today!
Really tasty to add a tablespoon or so of Lily's chocolate chips (or other choc chips) as a mix-in after doing the initial mixing for the ice cream.
Great attention to detail!
Thanks!
I just watched this again why did you choose smoothie bowl!
You really could use smoothie, ice cream, or sorbet. Because bananas make for a softer mixture than other fruits. I usually err on the side of caution and spin on sorbet or light ice cream if I'm not sure, and smoothie if there's a lot of banana.
Great additional info that other videos never covered~ Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Would you do a piece on the different spinnng modes, explaining what they do and for whic ingredents/results to use it, just like you did with the smoothie & sorbet settings? The manual isn't so useful there...
Brilliant! I was wondering if I should blend the bananas then freeze first or not, so thank you! ❤
Great instructional video….you covered all the important steps for using this machine……my daughter gave me one last Christmas and I absolutely love this machine….. I haven’t bought ice cream yet……….. the recipes I followed I kind of thought that the taste of the heavy cream was too much….. I could taste the fattiness of the heavy cream……I’m wondering if I can try substituting the “almond milk” instead of the heavy cream…. Maybe somebody or you has a suggestion regarding this? Would certainly appreciate it…….ty
I only make vegan recipes with fruit, nut milks, oat milk, etc. so it can be done for sure. Check out this playlist for recipes: th-cam.com/play/PLq9aJz8LnaX_Q7kRpl3qrNGC_n9uBR40K.html
Thank you so much for this recipe!
😊
Thank you so much for such an informative video! Looking forward to using our new Ninja now!
Yay!
Omg I subscribed based on your shirt alone 😂 but seriously I love this video. You are so informative without being gimmicky. Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us . I can't wait for my bananas to freeze to try this recipe : )
Also adorable kitty in background ❤
Thank you so much!
Hi Kathy - I made this ice cream last night and it was amazing!!!! It was so easy to make and healthy because I used cashew milk. I find with the Creami I eat a lot less ice cream at a sitting. I don’t like to add sweeteners, puddings or anything unhealthy to my ice cream. I can’t wait for your Creami recipe book to come out. Can you give me an idea when it will be released and how I can get one?
I use MONK FRUIT as a sweetener.
I know I’m supposed to be watching the Ninja, but I was watching the cat lol
I love that!
Lots of good tips!
Thanks! Wonderful video.
Thanks!
can you do some experiments with sweet potato. I have had success with chocolate but all my other attempts were flops. Im not good at making stuff up.
I have done one with sweet potato so far. Was it the flavor or texture that gave you problems? I did one with dates a little nondairy milk, and some spices.
@@KathyHesterVeganRecipes both flavor and texture fails. Ive been using orange sweet potato for the chocolate and its perfect but i wanted to try to do something with white sweet potatoes. I tried to do lemon and tried to do one that tasted like bread pudding but both were horrible and I think I made them too thick.
ps Im so glad you got one. I am really looking forward to see what you come up with.
How is the blade shaft , self cleaning? Its buried in a chamber and telescopes down and back up ,so what cleans enclosed part of the shaft and its surrounding area?
That's what Ninja says in the manual and docs, and in my experiment of seeing if there was anything left on the shaft it seemed perfectly clean. I don't know the mechanics behind it.
This is a great explanation video! Thank you!!
So glad it helped!
Hello pretty Lady
Great video and I love your shirts :)
Hi! 😊 New subscriber. just found your channel. you explain 👌this so well I'll be watching all your videos.
I just ordered a creami on Prime day, can't wait for it to arrive! 😃
Welcome!
This is a really good video 👍 If I wanted to add in some peanut butter & chocolate chips would I add this is after I’ve spun it using the mix in setting or would I add the peanut butter before the initial freezing xXx
U r da bomb sister amen to ur gluten free ice cream. I going to get dat ice cream machine, so me & my son can vibe as we make it. He's 5yrd so imagine how he's going to react to making his own ice cream.
I will soak walnuts and pumpkin seeds in a light maple syrup then toast it. Then add it in wit ur precious recipe 😇🤩😋🤓😎
I can’t wait to see how he likes it!
I've been thinking about buying a Ninja Creami. Much as I like ice cream, I've gotten to the point with lactose intolerance that it's just not worth the discomfort. Being able to replace that with something that tastes really good and is actually healthy seems like it would be worth the expense. I've seen enough videos that it's obvious these hold up well over time which was a concern given the cost.
I have been extra hard on mine, and so far so good!
Hi Kathy~ Thanks for making this video. I've been curious about this machine and how it works after hearing you talk about it in a previous video. Do the blades spin and move up and down?
It does. There are indicators at the top when it's spinning to show where the blade is.
Thank you so much for your reply!
@@TheFrandall Of course!
Hello pretty Lady
for £179 I thought it would do all the job. Get a cheap processor will do the same.
What part of the job do you feel it didn't do? I like it better than a blender because I don't have to add extra nondairy milk and make it too soft, and it's easier to clean than my food processor and I can process less - even 1/2 a pint.
But you can, of course, make nice cream in your blender or food processor.
Not on a subject at all but collar on Your beautiful black cat seems tight….I ve removed so many badly fitting collars from different cats that I just notice things like that …recipe is great ..can’t wait to try it….love the black tshirt
Could you add cocoa powder to banana mixture
You sure can, or even some other fruit like berries!
I want one of those machines but my husband may harm me if I buy one more appliance for our countertop, ha
Can you just chop up the banana into slices and put non dairy milk and freeze that, will that blend? 🙏🏼
Or do you have to mush up the banana first with the milk then freeze? ☹️
Please could you let me know 😇
I've not done slices, but as long as they are under the milk and the top is flat and level it should be fine. You will need to mix it up a little before serving though.
@@KathyHesterVeganRecipes thank you for replying really appreciate it! 😄 So it won’t break the machine from the frozen banana slices chunks?
@@korilakkumaaa I can't truly say it won't because I haven't done it. I would recommend mashing or pureeing in a blender to be extra safe.
@@korilakkumaaa They have a recipe for pineapple sorbet that uses whole chunks of pineapple. My guess is that if there's enough liquid frozen the solid banana shouldn't be a problem. Probably should have them be a little riper than what was used in this video though.
This machine seems too precious! I have a simple ice cream machine, and it's a lot easier . No dramas.
What drama have you seen? I haven’t had any issues with mine.
Great video!
Thank you!
Hello pretty Lady
I don't think I am sold on the Ninja Creami as my Vitamix literally does the same thing and is a lot easier, but I do like your videos.
The vitamix blends, this machine shaves and mixes. You can’t get this texture with a blender.
@@playnicegames I makes awesome creamy ice cream in the Vitamix, and I make great slushes. I guess, for me, the Vitamix does everything I need it to do, but I am interested in watching more videos about the Ninja Creami.
@@lnicole2504 I never said you didn’t make awesome ice cream in the vitamix, I have two Vitamix blenders and three ice cream makers (this machine is the third, the other two are compressor models the chill on demand). The Vitamix as a blender is lacking in providing a true textured ice cream. Once you use a compressor machine you will understand such. That said this machine while not a compressor ice cream maker is unmatched for the home consumer at what it can do. The only other machine like it is a Paco Jet which we use in restaurants that cost $6000+. I understand to the uninformed that this may seem like it’s a blender but it’s not, when in the manufacture manual they have to state in bold letters “This is NOT a blender”.
@@playnicegames I appreciate the information, but I am happy to continue to use my Vitamix.
What seems appealing about this over the Vitamix is that in my Vitamix I have to make much more than I'll eat to make effective use of the tamper. This seems like I could take a serving out and reblend the extra another day.
Very helpful, thanks!
You are so welcome!
ThNk you this helps
Oh good!
I like how you added almond milk because the other day I made it and it was just bananas and cocoa powder because I want to chocolate and it was just awful and I have a ninja blender that’s it
Were your bananas ripe and sweet? If not, you should add some date paste or sweetener of your choice.
Also - when to use the respective setting again for a second time, when to use respin?
Question: I'm still on the fence about buying one of these. What would happen if you only poured an ice cream mixture for HALF of the container? I'm the only customer here. Or if you eat half and put the rest in the freezer? The new deluxe Creamer has a "half spin" feature but that's even bigger than the original? Thank you.
You can eat some, smooth the top, and freeze to spin later. That’s one of its perks!
When I bought my creami I didn't realize there were 2 different ones and mine doesn't have smoothie bowl setting 😞 is sorbet good to do in its place?
Yes, it will work just fine!
@@KathyHesterVeganRecipes thank you so much for replying! Yay!!
Hello pretty Lady
Can you use regular milk or does it have to be a non dairy milk
I don't have a button that says smoothie bowl, my settings are ice cream, lite ice cream, sorbet, gelato, frozen yogurt, creami italian ice, and then the drinkable side is creamiccino, frozen drinks, slushi and milkshake. So which button did you use. Thank you for your help.
If you don’t have a smoothie button, use sorbet.
Different models have different options, but they can all make everything!
I have already frozen whole bananas. Can I just dice them, toss them into the creami and make ice cream, or do I need to thaw, mash, freeze and creamify?
The Creami isn't a blender, instead, it finely shaves the mixture, so it needs to be a frozen solid block.
Because of that I'd at least half thaw them and make sure the pint is packed before you freeze. Once frozen solid you can spin it.
I ordered the ninja creamy experience last July. I went to my files and everything is gone. How can I recover the material? I had it through the through the the podia platform
We moved platforms last yeat and you must have missed all the emails last year about it. Please email support@healthyslowcooking.com and we will get you moved the new site.
Hi Kathy, love your attention to detail so I need to ask a question about the Ninja Creami 7 in one ice cream maker. I've been trying to buy more pints and lids but it almost seems impossible. There are a lot of off brands that do not fit but say they do. Ninja brands are always on back order or asking $45 for 2 of the pints? Is there anything you know about this problem? Thank you :)
Once they start making the knock offs it will be easier. But I had issues getting some of my extras too.
I just got mine at Cosco for $99😊
Yay!
Can you use regular milk instead of non dairy milk?
I think so, but I don't do dairy at all.
Ninja Creami is out of stock everywhere plus they are super expansive. Do you have nice cream tutorials on using a blender, processor or bullet type?
I do not, but you can freeze the mixture in ice cube trays and let thaw 10 minutes, then blend in a high speed blender. It's not a perfect sub, but close enough.
What setting would you use using the creami deluxe machine? I'm making this right now. It looks so good 😊
You can use sorbet or light ice cream.
@@KathyHesterVeganRecipes thank you 🙏🏽
Seems complicated for me but maybe it will work for someone else.
Every appliance is not for everyone for sure. In my live talking about it I suggested using a food processor, blender, or Yonana if that's what you like best.
But also it's pretty easy after you've done it once or twice. Mostly it's blending then putting into a pint to freeze, then putting it in the machine. I'm here if you have questions about it or anything else.
Thanks Kathy😍you are the sweetest
Wondering about that wet erase marker u used in the video after 24hrs it appeared to be smudged and wiped off? Does it normally stay on? Thx
I was using a wet erase marker, but have moved to dissolvable stickers or masking tape.
@@KathyHesterVeganRecipes thx I was gonna buy some but now I won’t lol
is this model the deluxe or the regular one?
I WOULD USE HONEY
Nice job
Thank you!
Do you recommend spending spending the extra bit for the deluxe or spending less on the original?
Either is fine and can make all the same things with a few work arounds
@@KathyHesterVeganRecipes I saw on the slushy recipe for the delux you can even just use water and a flavor mix in. Do you think this is possible with the sorbet or lite ice cream option with the other models?
@@brandi1221 Yes - check out this video: th-cam.com/video/0SSo-tYcPcA/w-d-xo.html
@@KathyHesterVeganRecipes thank you!
@@KathyHesterVeganRecipes if they don’t already, ninja needs to pay you commission 😆
Does the cat get some?
Can I use heavy cream instead of non dairy?
Since I don't eat dairy I'm not positive. But I have seen in some of the Nonja Creami Group where heavy cream can get spun into butter in your Creami...
Yes. It can make real ice cream. It comes with a recipe booklet that has recipes that use cream and milk.
Hello pretty Lady
I have never liked banana ice cream. I much prefer putting sliced fresh bananas in a bowl and adding vanilla ice cream to the bowl.
However, I will have to try your recipe in my new Ninja Creami to see if I like it.
I love it but some people just don't love banana nice cream. Have you tried the pineapple whip already? th-cam.com/video/N-HX1gUL82E/w-d-xo.html
Hello pretty Lady
In general, whether it is vegan or not, can I do it let's say Firday night, put it back to freezer and eat it on Saturday without mixing it again? Thank you!!
You want to spin it right before you eat it for the best possible texture. You can eat part, refreeze the pint and spin another day. If you make a high fat recipe, you may be able to store it like regular ice cream, but honestly, it takes 2 - 3 minutes to spin.
@@KathyHesterVeganRecipes thank you! I asked, since specifically I won't be able to use the device to do that. Fit hight fat it could work, I guess
This was my exact question ! Thank you
So I tried it this Saturday. Spined on Friday night and then put it into freezer. On Saturday, I Had to wait a bit, 10 -15 minutes after taking it from the freezer, and it was pretty good. With the re spin probably would be better, but in a case that you're not able too, it is still very good
@@IzannaK Thanks for letting us know!
It doesn’t have to be level if you get the little “mountain” in the middle. The instruction manual says that’s ok!
I disagree with that with whole food plant based recipes in particular. We are using no oil, and often dates as sweeteners. That makes the mix freeze much harder than traditional recipes with fat and refined sugar.
It's a potato masher
I would completely disagree with this. But it's not for everyone, and it seems it's not for you.
Herb scissors work great to chop up fruit.
So dont use the ice cream setting for anything with banana?
The smoothie or sorbet - even light ice cream works.
Can’t I just use mashed bananas without the extra ingredients?
Probably, but most banana nice cream recipes include vanilla and non-dairy milk. I have not tried it, so I can't say how the machine will do, but I expect it to be powdery, and you'd need to respin with some nondairy milk to make it creamy.
why can I not use real dairy?
Does it curdle or something
I create vegan recipes, so I don't use dairy.
How much milk did you use?
Just fill to the line. You can play with the ratio between it and the ripe bananas to get the thickness and texture you prefer.
those stringy peel parts have more nutrients than the bananas!
I just don't get why to have an expensive machine when you're mashing up the bananas by hand...
Yea an awful lot of work. Making nice cream in a blender you then justness put it in a container and you're done. Scoop it out as wanted.
