Ice Cream Maker

Ice Cream Makers

These machines work by processing a pre-frozen container rather than churning and freezing at the same time, which is what makes them fast and repeatable: a base frozen ahead of time turns into ice cream, gelato or sorbet in minutes once the machine runs. Programme count is the main difference between models. The simpler machine covers the core desserts, while the higher-spec version adds specific programmes for soft serve, frozen drinks and lighter, lower-calorie options built around protein rather than cream. A soft serve handle attachment gives the swirled, machine-dispensed texture associated with a cone or a sundae, which a standard scoopable programme doesn't replicate.

Ninja supplies the CREAMi Deluxe 10-in-1, the CREAMi ice cream and frozen dessert maker, and the Swirl by CREAMi 13-in-1 with the soft serve handle.
