Hello! Welcome to BettyJBakes! Since the Summer season is almost here, I want to talk about ice cream! As I have said before, I love the Ninja Brand! Well, Ninja has an ice cream machine called the Ninja Creami. They also now have the “deluxe” version of the machine. What are the differences? What upgrades come with the deluxe version? Let’s look at both models and see what the differences are! You may only want the original model or maybe you want the upgrades that come with the deluxe model.
The Ninja Creami Ice Cream maker is a 7 in 1 ice cream machine. It has 7 different one touch programs which are ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshake, smoothie bowl, lite ice cream, and mix-in. Each program or setting offers speed, pressure, and most importantly, creamy results. I personally am a gelato fan! My go to is a non-dairy ice cream buy I do love a good chocolate or coffee (espresso) gelato once in awhile for a treat! Ninja offers a special technology in this machine which is called the “creamify” technology. This technology is what makes your ice cream extra creamy because it FINELY SHAVES uniformly through a frozen pint which transforms it into a smooth texture in MINUTES not an hour! A great thing about this machine is you totally control what ingredients you put in and make the ice cream the way you want it as opposed to buying ice cream at the store (and by the way, can I say that ice cream containers at the supermarket seem like they keep getting smaller but the price keeps going up!). In my opinion, buying this machine will save you money in the long run because you use your own ingredients, make it as healthy as you want, you can make 7 different varieties, and it only takes a short period of time. You can make protein packed ice cream, low sugar ice cream, non-dairy ice cream, and vegan ice cream to just name a few. No additives, you control the sugar content, no fillers, no preservatives, just whatever flavors and ingredients you want!
**Mix-ins – you can add anything you want and love into your ice cream. Chocolate Chips, fruit, cookies, candy, nuts, marshmallows, flavored sauces, or my favorite coffee beans!!!! The “mix-in” setting evenly distributes your mix-ins throughout the pint so you are sure to get some with every bite!
**3 Steps to your perfect frozen treat – you have to prep your base, freeze it for 24 hours, and then process it in minutes. So basically, you need to prep your base the day before you know you want ice cream. Maybe you are having family over tomorrow, maybe your kids are having friends over tomorrow, or you know tomorrow it’s going to be HOT outside and you are going to want ice cream! Also, you can process your ice cream a second time for an even creamier treat!
**EASY TO CLEAN – All parts are Top Rack DISHWASHER SAFE!
*****PINT COMPATIBILITY – VERY IMPORTANT! – this unit is compatible with NC299 and NC 300 pint accessories ONLY! You can purchase extra pint containers to use with this machine so you can make different kinds of frozen treats and have a variety ready in your freezer! THE MACHINE COMES WITH ONE PINT – extras are available for purchase.

NOW LET’S LOOK AT THE NINJA DELUXE CREAMI ICE CREAM MACHINE and compare the two machines!
If you look at this machine, it looks similar to the original version but there are some KEY differences. The Deluxe version offer ELEVEN different programs. You are getting four additional programs which include: CREAMICCINO, SLUSHI, ITALIAN ICE, AND FROZEN DRINK! Just reading those additional options makes me want this updated Deluxe version! Creamiccino sounds intriguing, I LOVE Italian ice (!), slushies, and of course who doesn’t love a frozen drink whether it’s a Margarita, frozen Daiquiri, or a fruity non-alcoholic treat???? In my opinion, these additional programs are already worth the upgrade! Let’s see what else is different from the original version.
*** The Deluxe version COMES WITH TWO XL 24oz. TUBS with lids! This is 50% MORE than the original Creami machine! This allows you to make enough frozen treats for the whole family!
*** DUAL PROCESSING FOR TWO FLAVORS IN ONE BATCH! Split a single base into two mix in flavors in one tub without having to make a second batch! This is perfect for a family with different tastes.
We still have ingredient control with the deluxe version which I think is the whole purpose of having your own ice cream machine! You are able to make what flavor you want with the ingredients you want with no extra additives.
***This Deluxe version offers ADVANCED CREAMIFI TECHNOLOGY WITH DUAL DRIVE MOTORS. They have advanced this technology further with this deluxe version! This machine has an XL Creamerizer paddle which transforms a fully frozen solid base into a smooth frozen treat.
***Re-Spin setting lets you achieve your perfect texture. This is also featured on the original Creami Machine.
***WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE DELUXE VERSION: Motor base with DUAL Drivers, XL Deluxe Creamerizer Paddle, TWO XL 24 oz. TUBS with lids, outer bowl with lid, and a Recipe Inspiration Guide.
******AGAIN, IT’S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU GET THE CORRECT SIZE TUBS: NC500 Series XL TUB.
ALL PARTS ARE TOP RACK DISHWASHER SAFE!
In conclusion, the Ninja Creami Deluxe offers more power, bigger capacity, and FOUR extra programs: Italian Ice, Frozen Drinks, Slushies, and CREAMICCINO. WHAT IS A CREAMICCINO YOU ASK???? A CREAMICCINO IS a QUICKLY FROTHED AND BLENDED COFFEE DRINK with your choice of milk and sweeteners made into a CAFE STYLE FROZEN COFFEE BEVERAGE!!!! If you are a coffee lover like I am, this is a real selling point. I personally love all the additional programs and perks of the Deluxe Ninja Creami!
Now it is up to you to make the choice between the two machines. What will you use it for? Do you love the additional programs and larger capacity of the Deluxe machine??? Here is where you can find the DELUXE NINJA CREAMI MACHINE AND ACCESSORIES:

I hope this comparison showed you the differences between the two Ninja Creami Machines. Pick the machine that will work the best for you and what you want to use it for!
