Summer’s over, but frozen treats should be enjoyed all year, no matter the weather (at least that’s how we do it in my house). Now that seasonal ice cream stands have packed up for fall, why not make your own in the comfort of your home? Whip up exactly what you’re craving — an autumnal pumpkin spice flavor, perhaps? — with your preferred ingredients and an ice cream maker in your kitchen.
If you’re an ice cream lover, smoothie bowl enthusiast, or just looking for a fun, kid-friendly activity, the Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker with two pints is currently $200 — $30 off its usual $230 price tag, even after Amazon’s big sales event<!–>, October Prime Day. That’s not nothing – how many store-bought pints could $200 even cover in this economy? Four?

What’s more, this deal comes with an extra pint-sized container. In fact, the two-pint deal is currently the same price as the single-pint Ninja Creami–> option, also on sale for $200. That sort of makes the decision for you. A second pint means you can make more of your favorite recipe (double the PSL-flavored magic) or alternate between two for variety.
Having an ice cream maker in your home means you can experiment with flavor combinations and test ingredients. It’s especially convenient for those with allergies or dietary restrictions who aren’t exactly thrilled with the vegan, gluten-free, or keto ice cream options out there.
According to Ninja’s website, the company’s “Creamify technology enables the Creami to break down a uniformly frozen block into an incredibly smooth, creamy texture in minutes” — meaning no more stopping and starting your blender in pursuit of velvety perfection. Just prep your base ingredients, freeze them overnight in the Creami, and blend them the next day. You can use the Re-spin function after the initial process if the texture isn’t dreamy enough for you.

If you’ve been waiting to add an ice cream maker to your kitchen essentials, this is the time. Turn almost anything into ice cream, sorbet, milkshakes, and more. The Ninja Creami<!–> has seven one-touch program settings for making gelato, frozen yogurt, and smoothies, and can even add mix-ins to your already-made treats.
Plus, it’s great for all your non-dessert needs, too, like post-workout protein shakes. If you get the two-pint bundle, you can easily prep enough ice cream to last your whole week – or share, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Amazon’s October Prime Big Deal Days event runs October 8-9, 2024. Expect to see select deals expire as early as 11:59 p.m. PDT, though we fully expect some offers to linger hours or even days after the sale event officially ends.
