Our verdict

If frozen treats are your thing, the CREAMi is pure joy — and the ingredient control makes it as practical as it is fun. Freeze, spin, scoop: dessert exactly how you want it.

The short version

The CREAMi blew up online for good reason. You freeze a pint of your own mix overnight, then it shaves and re-spins it into shockingly smooth ice cream, gelato, sorbet or protein 'nice cream.' You control exactly what goes in — sugar-free, dairy-free, high-protein, whatever — and the customization is half the fun.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to freeze it in advance?

Yes — the pint needs to freeze solid (usually overnight) before you spin it.

Can I make healthy versions?

That's a big appeal — you control the recipe, so sugar-free, dairy-free and high-protein versions are easy.

Is it hard to clean?

The pints, lids and paddle are dishwasher safe, so cleanup is simple.

Is it loud?

It is noisy for the minute or two it spins, similar to a powerful blender.
