So, you’ve whipped up a delicious batch of Ninja Creami ice cream, but you couldn’t finish it all in one go? No problem! Instead of letting it go to waste (or forcing yourself into an ice cream coma), here’s how to store leftover ninja creami ice cream properly.

Method 1: press it down & respin
This method keeps things simple and lets you enjoy your ice cream just like the first time—after a quick respin!

Steps:
- Press it down: Use the back of a spoon to gently press the remaining ice cream down into the original container.
- Smooth it out: Smoothing the top helps prevent ice crystals from forming and protects your Ninja Creami blade next time you spin.
- Refreeze: Pop the container back into the freezer, making sure it stays flat, just like when you first froze it.
- Respin when ready: Next time you crave a scoop, use the Light Ice Cream setting on your Ninja Creami for a fresh, creamy texture.
Why it works
- Keeps the texture smooth and creamy.
- Uses the original container, so no extra dishes!
- You get that fresh-churned feel after a quick respin.
Method 2: scoop & freeze (no respin needed!)
Want to skip the respin and make your machine last longer? This method is for you!

Steps:
- Scoop it out: Take the entire batch and scoop it into individual portions.
- Tray time: Place the scoops on a parchment-lined tray, making sure they don’t touch.
- Freeze until solid: Leave them in the freezer until they’re firm.
- Bag & store: Transfer the frozen scoops to a freezer-safe bag or container.
- Enjoy anytime: When you’re ready for ice cream, just grab a scoop! Let it sit for about 5 minutes at room temp for that perfect creamy texture.



Why it works
- No need to respin, which means less wear on your machine.
- You can portion out exactly how much you want.
- Perfect for quick, no-fuss ice cream cravings!
Method 3: ice cube tray
Want bite-sized frozen treats? Try this fun method!

Steps:
- Spoon into tray: Fill an ice cube tray with small scoops of ice cream. I use a teaspoon and smoosh it down.
- Freeze solid: Let the mini scoops freeze until firm.
- Pop & store: Transfer the frozen cubes into a freezer-safe bag.
- Grab & enjoy: Perfect for blending into smoothies, adding to hot coffee for a creamy twist, or just popping in your mouth for a quick treat!


Why it works
- No need to wait for softening—just pop and go!
- Great for portion control and creative desserts (try different shapes and sizes!).
- Fun for kids and adults alike!
Which method should you choose?
- If you love that fresh-out-of-the-Ninja texture, go with Method 1.
- If you want to make life easier and extend your machine’s lifespan, try Method 2.
- If you love small, bite-sized treats with versatile uses, Method 3 is a game-changer!
Either way, you’ll never have to waste a single scoop of your homemade deliciousness again!
