About

A collection of my Ninja Creami recipes; the goal is to have only tested / approved ones, but on the way there draft and promising recipes are tagged as such. Most recipes are formulated so that they also work in a classic churning machine.

It currently has 88 recipes.

How to Use This Site?

Use the top bar to navigate using Tags or the first letter of a recipe name.

💡 You can load the All You Can Read version to save the site as a stand-alone HTML or PDF document, to read off-line.

Check out the Info section to get background information on the 'philosophy' behind the specific formulation of these recipes, the ingredients used, and some tips & tricks to successfully reproduce them in your kitchen.

That section also contains a FAQ page and a glossary, in case some abbreviations used are unknown to you.

🗣️ Another way to explore background topics is to listen to this ~18min long interview-style summary of the site.

If your browser does not support the audio element, try to download the MP3 file.

How It's Made?

This website is based on a collection of calculated recipes stored in a GitHub repository.

The recipes are written as LibreOffice spreadsheets, which allows to directly use formulas for the calculation of important ice cream metrics and nutritional information.

Free office suite – the evolution of OpenOffice. Compatible with Microsoft .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx. Updated regularly, community powered.

A Python script then converts CSV exports of the spreadsheets to markdown files, which are combined with manually created informational pages (like the one you're reading right now), and finally used to render this HTML web site using MkDocs.
