We're in the second half of Amazon Prime Day, which means you only have hours left to get the Ninja Creami for 20% off. Over the summer, our Instagram and TikTok feeds were full of Ninja Creami creations, from protein powder milkshakes to fresh lemon sorbet. Stock is limited and we saw this product sell out during July's Prime Day, so now's the time to buy.
For the rest of the top-rated deals, check out our Prime Day hub to save on kitchen tools, home goods, and more. Plus, you can find more of our favorite savory and sweet Prime Day kitchen deals.
Why buy the Ninja Creami
The Ninja Creami stands out for its versatility (seven settings) and the relatively compact size (just over a foot at its largest point). The process is highly customizable, so you can explore the world of frozen desserts, from thick Fruity Pebbles milkshakes to vegan almond milk ice cream.
It's not quite as easy as pulling a pint out of the fridge: You do have to freeze the base and liquid mixture for 24 hours before you use it. Still, the only home ice cream makers that are close to automatic are compressor machines, like the Cuisinart ICE. These are bulky and expensive, so many will prefer a sleek, automatic Ninja Creami-style model.
Once the base is frozen solid, you simply reattach to the main machine and press a button. The "creamifying" involves the center blade shaving off pieces of the frozen mixture and whipping them together. It takes about two minutes, and there is a "re-spin" setting for when the texture isn't quite right the first time.
The Ninja Creami Deluxe is also on sale for $220 at Amazon, but that's $20 more than the summer discount. If you're eyeing the frozen yogurt and Slushi settings on the Deluxe, we recommend waiting until Black Friday to see if you get a better deal.
More ice cream deals
Another dessert gadget is on sale for Prime Day: the Dash My Mug Ice Cream maker. It's 25% off right now, but even the regular price is a fraction of what the Creami costs.
As the name suggests, the My Mug is a personal, single-serving ice cream maker. Unlike the Ninja, you don't have to prep your mixture in advance. You just need to freeze the base, which you can easily do by just storing it in your freezer until an ice cream craving hits. When you add a mixture, the Dash My Mug takes 20 minutes to produce a frozen treat.
The pint-sized Ninja Creami dupe from Dash has been going viral on TikTok lately as an affordable way to customize your own ice cream, gelato, and sorbet creations.
This set of 8 small bowls is perfect for ice cream nights and cereal mornings. They are microwave- and dishwasher-safe, so you don't have to be careful with them, making them great for kids.
If you're part of the ice cream maker wave, you're probably looking for a foolproof mix to get started. Triple Scoop mixes make two quarts of ice cream and works with hand-crank and automatic ice cream makers.
