It’s July which means two things: it’s hot out and Amazon Prime Day is upon us. While the official Prime Day shopping event is July 16 and 17, we’re seeing plenty of early Prime Day deals. Among them, the Ninja Creami ice cream maker for $150, a $50 savings on the regular price of $200. This one features seven different commands so you can choose between ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshake, smoothie bowl, lite ice cream and mix-in.
Humble brag, but I discovered the beauty of this ice cream innovation a year earlier when I reviewed the Creami for CNET. I love how versatile it is, allowing you to make ice cream and gelato custards along with fruit sorbet mixtures and freeze them the night before. From there, the Creami easily turns out different ice cream flavors in about 2 minutes. Most at-home ice cream makers on the market only make one batch every 8 hours since the center chilling bowl has to be frozen completely between uses.
Just some of the decadent ice cream we made in the Ninja Creami.
The Creami is also great for special diets since you can add less sugar, no sugar or alternative sweeteners to ice cream mixtures if you choose. There’s also no end to the flavor combinations and recipes to try. If that’s not enough, the Creami allows you to add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts and incorporates them evenly throughout.
If I have one knock on the machine it’s that it’s loud when churning. The good news? It only takes 2 or 3 minutes to spin the base into a fresh, frozen summer delight.
The Ninja Creami is as popular as small appliances get, so it doesn’t drop in price too often — and certainly not when the weather is warm. If you’re looking to haul in the easy ice cream maker, grab it now from Amazon for $50 off. And don’t miss our Prime Day coverage of all things bright and beautiful, including the best deals under $100 and Target’s anti-prime day savings.
