The Ninja CREAMi is one of Mashable’s Hype Test subjects. Our shopping reporter, Samantha Mangino, says it’s ideal for meal preppers who like to experiment with new flavor combinations and control the ingredients in their frozen desserts.

“The Ninja Creami is fun to use; I get the hype,” writes Mangino. “Rather than going on a trip to get ice cream, you're having a little adventure in your kitchen. If you're a planner and/or an ice cream fanatic, the Creami will be a delightful addition as you plan your pints of the week.”

It has five built-in programs for ice cream, sorbet, milkshakes, lite ice cream, and mix-in options. Just prepare your base, freeze it overnight, and process it through the machine. The re-spin function gives you the option to make it even creamier after your first pass, and it’s also the trick for making leftover frozen treats from previous batches soft and scoopable again.
