Mary Berry recipes are a go-to for me when it comes to making desserts that don’t disappoint, and this lemon meringue cream is certainly one of them. Taking less than 10 minutes to prep, Mary described this recipe as “impressive” but “easy” to make and recommended it be served with berries. While this recipe doesn’t require the use of an ice cream maker or fancy appliance , I thought it could be made better with the help of the Ninja Creami .
With one look at social media, you can see how this appliance has changed the way people make ice cream. Rather than churn for twenty-plus minutes, the Creami delivers you soft-serve results in three minutes. After unboxing, I was impressed at how slender the appliance is.
While it was very tall, it slotted in easily under my cabinets for storage. The Ninja Creami comes with three pint-size containers for mixing up the ice cream complete with lids. They sit inside a larger container, that you slot into the machine using a clever twisting lock function.
The pre-set programs are incredibly easy to navigate as Ninja has taken out any guesswork by labelling every button with the style of frozen dessert you want. It has seven programs including a smoothie bowl, light ice cream, ice cream, gelato, sorbet, milkshake and mix-ins. The is also a re-spin button if you haven’t reached the desired creaminess with the first function.
Retailing currently at £149 down from £199 on AO.com , it does cost slightly more than other cream make.
