First announced in January, Ninja has kept the U.K. waiting impatiently for its Creami Swirl. Adding another genius twist to its ice cream maker, you can now use the Swirl to create homemade soft serve, and we even got a first look ahead of its U.S. launch.
With its Swirl machine, Ninja takes the popular Creami model and adds a whole new soft-serve feature.
Once your ice cream is processed using the Creami side of your machine, you can then fit the lid and attach it vertically to the front of the soft serve dispenser. Then, you can lower the dispensing arm and start to pour your soft serve.
There's also a new setting called Creamifit, which should work perfectly when processing protein-based mixes.
The Creami Swirl is on sale for £349 at NinjaKitchen right now, but I don't think stock will last long.
Why we love the Creami Swirl
The Creami Swirl first caught my eye on TikTok, where influencers have been showcasing its Creamify technology, which will turn ice cream mixtures into delectable soft-serve in minutes.
The Swirl also has an all-new CreamiFit program that's custom-made to work with protein-rich mixes for a smoother and more realistic ice-cream consistency. Perfect for those who want low-sugar, high-protein desserts in minutes.
Because it has a whole soft serve dispensing element, the Creami Swirl is wider than the already large Creami machines. But you'll still benefit from Ninja's mix-in tech which allows you to first spin your base and then add, say, Oreos for a cookies & cream mix.
Just be aware that you can't put these mix-in combos through the soft serve dispenser, or you'll risk clogging up your machine.
When we got hands-on with the swirl, we found it was super noisy. It hit 93dB in our tests, which is definitely loud enough to make you worry that you'll get a noise complaint.
Another downside we encountered when we tested it is that the Creami Swirl won't make enough ice cream in one container to entertain a crowd. So be prepared to stock up on extra containers if you're planning on throwing an ice cream party.
