Mason Jar Ice Cream
Mason Jar Ice Cream is a fun treat with only 4 ingredients. You don't need an ice cream maker, and the kids will love to help!
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- 2 teaspoons Granulated Sugar
- ¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt
- Optional Add Ins: crushed cookies, sprinkles, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, etc.
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients into at least an 8 ounce mason jar (including the optional add-ins).
- Seal the jar closed with a lid. Shake for 4-5 minutes until the mixture doubles in size and becomes thick.
- Check the mixture but remove the lid and make sure that the mixture can easily coat the back of a spoon but is not too thick like whipped cream.
- Reseal the jar and freeze for 2-3 hours. After this time, the ice cream is ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure that you do not overmix the ingredients or you will make whipped cream or butter instead of ice cream.
Also, do not freeze longer than 3 hours or ice crystals might start to form on the ice cream.
This is a great base recipe and you can easily add in your favorite toppings or mix-ins to make this recipe your own.
