The Ninja CREAMi Swirl has already topped Amazon bestseller lists

Summer is almost here, and one of the best ways to start the season is with a huge cup or cone filled with soft serve ice cream. And, you know what’s even better than soft serve? When you can make it right at home. With Ninja’s latest ice cream machine, it’s as easy as a touch of a button to get a creamy treat that screams nostalgic summer, so it’s no surprise it’s already wildly popular, steadily climbing several bestselling lists on Amazon.

Ninja Swirl by CREAMi Ice Cream and Soft Serve Maker

You’ve probably seen other versions of the Ninja CREAMi on TikTok (or anywhere on the internet, really) within the last few years, so you’re probably familiar with the ice cream machine’s unique features that create everything from gelato to milkshakes. The Swirl focuses on the airy texture of soft serve ice cream, and if the reviews are anything to go by, it’s a huge success.

The BestReviews Testing Lab gave the viral Ninja CREAMi Swirl a test run, and sure enough, it’s a great way to make soft serve ice cream at home. And even if you’re on a health kick or need high-protein options, the Swirl can make something just for you. From fruit sorbets to decadent chocolate or vanilla, all you have to do is prep and freeze your ingredients for 24 hours before popping them in the Swirl to create the perfect soft serve treat.
