Ninja's 'absolutely brilliant' ice cream maker now comes with four free accessories

While the heatwave has given us dry lawns and restless nights, it also brings with it the perfect excuse to eat more ice cream. There's no need to head to the supermarket for your frozen dessert fix, because the Ninja Creami can do it all.

The Ninja Creami gets rave reviews from shoppers, which is little surprise considering how versatile it is. It will make ice cream, gelato or sorbet, as well as milkshakes, and there's full control when it comes to the ingredients used. Want protein ice cream? That's what you'll get.

Ninja currently has an exclusive offer on the Creami too, not only discounting this ice cream maker, but bundling in four extra tubs. Saving over £50, the Ninja Creami is £169 from Ninja direct.

The regular Ninja Creami comes with three tubs, so there's the opportunity to double your ice cream output, meaning more flavours ready for your next party.

While this is the deal I'd recommend, you can get the Ninja Creami slightly cheaper at £158.16 on Amazon - it's £10 cheaper than Ninja's deal, but you don't get the extra tubs for all that ice cream you make.

The Creami is loaded with features, offering a wide range of frozen desserts and as is often the way with Ninja, it's seemingly gone viral, make it eally easy to find recipes online.

When using the Ninja Creami, users first have to make and freeze the ice cream base, before using the Creami to turn it into the dessert of your choice once it's frozen.

What the Ninja Creami doesn't do is the freezing, which is where some rivals have a slightly different solution. The Cuisinart ice cream maker - £54.99 on Amazon - uses a frozen bowl, so users can make their ice cream in about 25 minutes instead.

A pricier alternative, to the Cuisinar option, is theLakeland Compressor Ice Cream Maker, which currently has a small £20 off. This can make 1.5litres of ice cream 'in under an hour' as stated on the brand's site.

Customers praise how easy it is to use and how easy it is to clean, with one saying "It’s super easy to use, in fact the hardest part of making super creamy ice cream is having the patience to wait for it to freeze for 24 hours."

Others love the variety that comes with making your own ice cream at home: "custard ice cream, strawberry and yoghurt, peach sorbet … pineapple sorbet and sweet potato ice cream."

Some have called out that it's a little noisy "it is very, very loud so if this could be fixed, it would be amazing".
