Soft serve fans will love this machine that dispenses soft serve, similar to what you would get from an ice cream shop. Like the Ninja Creami, this machine uses a base that you freeze in the included pint-size containers ahead of time. When ready to enjoy, the frozen contents blend on one side and then move to the other to squeeze out the soft serve.
In addition to settings for ice cream and soft-serve options, you also can choose from fruit whip, frozen custard, milkshakes and more. It also has what Ninja calls “CreamiFit,” designed for low-calorie, high-protein treats that are all over social media.
How it performed in our tests: The soft-serve peach sorbet was a hit among our experts and staff members who happened to walk into the Lab while we were testing. The Ninja Swirl by Creami also produced a soft yet stable swirl with the peach flavor shining through. We were also impressed with the results from a protein shake and Greek yogurt; both had a smooth, soft-serve consistency.
Take note: The opening for the soft serve is small, producing a thinner swirl than what you typically see in ice cream shops. Also, our particular ice cream melted quickly, but this varies between recipes, so it may take some experimenting to get the right consistency.
