Ninja’s star Creami ice cream maker is on sale for $169

If you’ve ever wanted more control over what goes into your ice cream, the Ninja Creami 5‑in‑1 Ice Cream Maker makes it easy. The ice cream maker lets you whip up dessert exactly as you want it from the comfort of your home, and right now it’s on sale for $169 ($30 off) at Walmart. 

The machine can make a range of frozen treats in just a few easy steps. You simply pour your ingredients into the included pint container, freeze it overnight, and then pop it into the machine. From there, you can choose from five preset programs, letting you make ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshakes, or even a smoothie bowl with the press of a button. You can also customize your dessert before freezing, whether that means using keto, vegan, or dairy-free ingredients or simply adding extra chocolate chips. After the first spin, you can add extra toppings like fruit or cookie pieces and spin it up again with the press of a button to make it creamier. 

Once you’re done experimenting, it’s pretty convenient to clean up as well. The container, lid, and paddle are all dishwasher safe, so you just need to rinse everything off then let the dishwasher take care of the rest. It’s worth noting Ninja now sells a newer 7-in-1 model with more presets, but the 5-in-1 still covers the essentials and is about $60 cheaper.
