Mason Jar Ice Cream
No special appliance needed to make Mason Jar Ice Cream - just a mason jar, 4 simple ingredients, and 5 minutes of prep! Customize it with optional mix-ins for a different flavor every time.
Servings: 2 (8 ounces per serving)
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- hefty pinch of coarse salt
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients in a 16 ounce wide-mouth freezer-safe Ball Mason Jar. Seal tightly with the lid and shake vigorously until it's about doubled in volume and the consistency of brownie batter (usually takes around 4 to 5 minutes - it’s an arm workout, but don’t skip this part!)
- Transfer the jar to the freezer and freeze until the consistency resembles soft-serve ice cream, 2 to 3 hours, shaking every 30 minutes or so to prevent the ice cream from becoming icy and any mix-ins from falling to the bottom, if using.
- Serve and enjoy! (See notes below to make different flavors.)
Notes
Strawberry - Include 1 & 1/2 tablespoons strawberry jam before shaking. Dice up 2 large strawberries very small and stir the pieces into the ice cream mixture before freezing.
Cookies & Cream - Include 1 & 1/2 tablespoons whipped cream cheese before shaking. Mash up 2-3 Oreo cookies and stir the pieces into the ice cream mixture before freezing.
Biscoff - Include 1 tablespoon Biscoff cookie butter spread before shaking. Mash up 2-3 Biscoff cookies and stir the pieces into the ice cream mixture before freezing.
Praline - Include 1 tablespoon caramel sauce before shaking. Stir in 1 tablespoon each crushed up toffee bits and finely chopped pecans into the ice cream mixture before freezing.
