I still remember the day I published the first recipe on Ninja-Icecream.com. That was six months ago. At the time, I didn't really know where it would lead, if people would even read it, let alone try the recipes at home. Since then, a lot has happened, and the site has taken a turn I hadn't imagined at the beginning. To celebrate, I wanted to do something for you: a little contest on Instagram with a set of two Ninja-compatible tubs to win.

A reminder that is important

Before going any further, I want to be clear about one thing. Ninja-Icecream.com is my personal project. I'm simply an avid user of these machines who wanted to share my recipes and discoveries. I'm not affiliated with Ninja or SharkNinja, I don't receive any commission on machine sales, and no one sends me products to test in exchange for an article. I pay for my tubs like everyone else, I struggle with some recipes like everyone else, and when I mess one up, I say so.

That's probably why the site exists the way it does. No brand tells me what to write, and it's your feedback in comments and messages that guides what I publish next. That's really what motivates me to keep going.

What I am putting at stake

A set of two jars compatible with the Ninja Creami, Creami Deluxe, and Ninja Swirl, for one lucky winner. If you use your machine regularly, I don't need to tell you how much of a game-changer a second jar is. You can start a new recipe while another is in the freezer, offer two flavors in one evening, and stop planning everything 24 hours in advance. With two extra jars, it's a whole new level: you multiply the possibilities without ever having to wait.

The draw will designate a single winner, who will therefore leave with the two pots, compatible with his machine model.

How to play

I wanted to keep things simple. You follow Ninja-Icecream.com's Instagram account, leave a comment under the contest post, and that's it. No story sharing required, no form to fill out, no email address to provide. You can tell me which flavor you'd love to try, which model you own, what you make most often, or even just drop by to say hello. What matters is that your entry is visible under the post.

The draw will take place at the end of the competition, and I will contact the winner directly via private message.

Thank you, sincerely.

It's a bit of a cliché to say it, but a site like this wouldn't exist without its readers. In six months, the small community that has formed around Ninja-Icecream.com has far exceeded my expectations, and every message I receive, every photo of a successful recipe sent to me, every insightful question in the comments—all of it motivates me to keep going. This contest is my way of giving back, however modestly.

For what's next, I have quite a few ideas: new recipes inspired by my favorite ice cream shops, comparisons between different models, bolder flavors, and probably a few surprises. We'll see where it takes us over the next six months.

Head over to Instagram to participate. Enjoy your ice cream, and thanks again for being here.
