It’s no secret we have some food allergies in this house, which can make dessert kind of tricky. I kid you not, our dessert woes are forever over because of this one kitchen appliance. Totally not sponsored, the Ninja CREAMi whips up frozen treats by simply freezing fruit (along with whatever else you want), and letting the appliance do its’ magic.
I’ll be the first to admit that some of the “dairy-free” ice creams out there aren’t exactly delicious. Somehow the CREAMi takes the most simple, frozen ingredients and whips them up into the most perfectly creamy texture. I guess that’s how it gets the name.
I’ve been testing out a few recipes and I have to say, these are my three favorites at the moment. You really can’t go wrong with it though!
P.O.G. Sorbet
Ingredients:
- 1 11 oz can mandarin oranges in light syrup
- frozen or fresh pineapple per instructions

Directions:
- To your Ninja CREAMi container, add the mandarin oranges, syrup and all. Add pineapple to the max fill line, and then do the same with the guava nectar.
- Freeze overnight and spin in the Ninja CREAMi on the "Sorbet" setting. Store in the freezer after mixing until ready to serve.
Mixed Fruit Sorbet
Ingredients:
- 1 15.25 oz can mixed fruit in syrup

Directions:
- Pour the fruit and syrup from the can into the Ninja CREAMi container. Add the strawberry jelly, then fill to the max fill line with coconut water.

Coconut, Cherry & Chocolate Ice Cream (dairy free)
Ingredients:
- frozen cherries per instructions
- 1 7.4 oz can sweetened condensed coconut milk

- Freeze overnight then spin in the Ninja CREAMi on the "Sorbet" setting. Remove the lid, add the cocoa nibs and spin again on the "Mix Ins" setting. Place back in the freezer for at least an hour before serving.
What is your go to brand of coconut water?! I can’t wait to try these!
Any brand will do!
This post convinced me to buy the Creami. Can’t wait to try these recipes. Your mango smoothie recipe is hall of fame worthy. Thank you.
