1. Chocolate Protein Ice Cream
Have you ever tried Halo Top or Eat Enlightened ice cream pints? This chocolate protein ice cream is definitely in their league.
If you’re looking to make a lower-calorie, higher-protein dessert, chocolate protein ice cream is a great choice! It uses only a handful of ingredients and takes a few minutes to whip up. The best part: the ice cream doesn’t have a protein-y taste!
While protein ice cream may not sound as good as regular ice cream, I honestly couldn’t even tell the difference! It tasted and had the texture of delicious chocolate ice cream.
So if you’re looking for a Ninja Creami ice cream recipe that’s a bit on the healthier side, give this chocolate protein ice cream a try!
2. Fairlife Protein Ice Cream
Like the above Ninja Creami ice cream recipe, this delicious dessert uses a protein shake as its base.
But this time, it’s Fairlife protein ice cream!
I looked far and wide for a protein shake that made ice cream that tasted like real ice cream (with no protein-y taste or strange texture), and this was the closest I found!
The Premier protein shake does a fantastic job as well, but the Fairlife shake just inched out the win on this one.
This Ninja Creami Fairlife protein recipe uses only three ingredients and is packed full of protein! It tastes like real chocolate ice cream (I can’t even tell this isn’t store-bought), and it leans towards the healthy side.
If you’re looking for an easy new way to sneak some protein into your day, look no further than this amazing Fairlife ice cream recipe!
3. Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream
What’s fruity, refreshing, and perfect all the time?
Orange creamsicle ice cream, of course!
Do you remember getting those orange creamsicle push-pops at lunchtime in elementary school and thinking life couldn’t get any better? I wanted to create a Ninja Creami ice cream that reminded me of those moments and gave me that same feeling.
Orange creamsicle ice cream is the perfect blend of orange and vanilla. Both flavors play along perfectly to make the sweetest, most delicious ice cream.
Plus, the color is such a dream! Perfect for any summer (or spring, fall, or winter) occasion!
If you need a new fruity and fun Ninja Creami ice cream recipe, make sure to give this orange creamsicle ice cream a try!
4. Banana Ice Cream
I never thought banana ice cream was a popular flavor, but according to Google (and blog stats), banana is one of the most popular ice cream flavors out there!
This banana ice cream recipe only takes a handful of ingredients and uses fresh bananas in the actual ice cream base.
This helps cut down on that artificial banana flavor some “banana” items have. Kind of like banana Laffy Taffys (also known as a not-so-great artificial flavored candy).
Making ice cream in the Ninja Creami has never been so easy and delicious! Even if you’re not the biggest banana fan like me, you’ll still enjoy the sweet flavor of this ice cream.
5. Peanut Butter Ice Cream
This peanut butter ice cream is an absolutely sweet and delicious treat that you could probably eat every night.
Ever since I was young, I was a fan of peanut butter ice cream. The slightly salty and sweet flavor just had me hooked.
I grew up to be a nut-butter head and would have anywhere from 5 – 10 different nut butters in my college dorm room at all times for use on oatmeal, apple slices, or anything else that would taste good.
So take it from me, this Ninja Creami ice cream hits the spot with the peanut butter flavor!
6. Lemon Cookie Ice Cream
Looking for a refreshing and fruity flavor that’s easy to make? Look no further than this lemon cookie ice cream!
There’s just something so refreshing about a creamy, lemon-flavored dessert. Since this recipe uses a fresh lemon (in addition to lemon extract to round out the flavor), it’s a top-notch Ninja Creami ice cream recipe.
Of course, Alex and I had to add a few crushed golden Oreos as a mix-in. Oreos make everything better, right?
The blend of sweet lemon and crunchy cookie make one of the best Creami creations! Don’t just take my word for it, give it a try!
7. Salted Caramel Ice Cream
Is there a better combination than sweet and salty?
Ninja Creami salted caramel ice cream proves that there really isn’t a combination out there that can beat it. The sweet caramel flavor with a pop of saltiness makes this ice cream one that shouldn’t be missed!
Alex and I used a salted caramel dip that we found at our local Aldi during fall. It was a dip that was advertised to be used as a dip for apple slices (but we know that anything can be made into a delicious Creami ice cream recipe).
If you can’t find a caramel dip at your local grocery store, there are plenty of options available online to be able to make this sweet treat! Bonus: you won’t have to wait for fall to roll around to make this recipe.
So if you’re craving something salty sweet, give this salted caramel ice cream a try!
8. Chocolate Espresso Ice Cream
I have to say, espresso or coffee ice cream is one of my absolute favorite sweet treats.
I thought that nothing could make our espresso ice cream better, until we decided to add chocolate.
I should’ve known that would make it taste even better, but I guess I just needed to try out this Ninja Creami ice cream recipe to prove it!
The chocolate and espresso flavors in this delicious ice cream work together and are perfectly balanced.
The best part: this recipe is extremely easy to make, and it only takes a few ingredients.
So don’t sleep on this amazing Ninja Creami ice cream recipe!
9. Mango Ice Cream
Mangoes are a fruit that can easily get overlooked.
However, they provide the perfect sweetness and flavor for a delicious Creami recipe!
After finding mangoes on sale at our local grocery store, Alex and I knew we had to turn them into a creamy ice cream. I’ve had mango sorbet in the Creami too, but there’s just something about ice cream that I can’t pass on.
While we weren’t able to cut the mangoes up in a nice, pretty pattern like you see online, the resulting ice cream was still pure deliciousness.
So if you’re looking for a new sweet treat to try this summer, grab some mangoes and enjoy!
10. Chocolate Cheesecake Ice Cream
Some things just fit together, like chocolate and cheesecake.
While this is a great combination for actual cheesecake, it’s even better as ice cream!
The flavors balance each other perfectly without any overpowering. This Ninja Creami ice cream recipe brings the best of chocolate-y goodness and cheesecake together for a dessert you can’t forget.
If this ice cream can convince a non-cheesecake lover like myself to want to eat the whole pint in one sitting, it speaks to how delicious this ice cream really is.
So if you want to bring one of your favorite desserts to the ice cream bowl, grab some cocoa powder and cheesecake pudding mix and get spinning!
11. Root Beer Ice Cream
When you were a kid and it was a hot summer day, was there a specific treat that always cooled you down?
I loved ice cream floats, like root beer or Sprite floats. While I used to always get Sprite floats, there really isn’t anything more classic than a root beer float!
That’s why we decided we need to make an ice cream form in the Creami.
This Ninja Creami recipe tastes just like the classic root beer float of summers past. To easily get the sweet root beer flavor, we used Soda Stream syrup!
They make a root beer flavor, and it’s easy to just add a bit to an ice cream base to get root beer ice cream.
We found Soda Stream syrup at our local Bed, Bath & Beyond, but they also sell it at retailers like Walmart or Target. If you strike out at the grocery stores, there are plenty of places to buy it online for a good deal!
So if you want to relive those great childhood moments of enjoying a root beer float, don’t pass on this delicious Creami ice cream!
12. Blueberry Ice Cream
Blueberry ice cream is the perfect combination of sweet and fruity in a creamy treat.
Plus, the natural color is so pretty!
We used fresh fruit to give it a good base blueberry flavor, and spiced it up with a bit of blueberry jam. You don’t need to add the blueberry jam for the ice cream to be great, but it helps give a more full-bodied flavor.
Sweet, creamy, and bursting with blueberry flavor, this ice cream is perfect for any summer day!
So if you’re in need of a delicious Creami ice cream recipe, give this blueberry ice cream a try!

Baileys Irish Cream is a drink that has a special place in my heart.
Every Christmas, my family exchanges stocking stuffers and few tiny bottles of Baileys always find their way into the stocking of every woman. We usually exchange them between ourselves because we know what we like.
That’s why we decided to use Baileys in our base ice cream. And why not pair it with chocolate since chocolate makes everything better?
The Baileys flavor shines through and isn’t overshadowed by the delicious chocolate flavor. Instead, they balance each other perfectly, creating the perfect ice cream to enjoy year-round.

Why make traditional hot chocolate ice cream when you can make Mexican hot chocolate ice cream?

Mexican hot chocolate is similar to traditional hot chocolate, but it takes the spice level up a notch by adding in spices like cinnamon, chili powder, and the optional cayenne. The spices don’t actually add too much heat, but they do provide a fun kick of flavor.

Black forest cake is a traditional cake that originated in the Black Forest region in Germany.
It’s a chocolate cake with rum and cherries in it. Having been to the Black Forest and taste-testing multiple cakes across the towns, I found that they can be done in a few different ways! Some soak the cherries in rum, some put the cherries on top and soak the cream in rum, and some do it a different way!
