Ingredients
Scale
Vanilla Ice Cream Base:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Variation:
- Add 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Strawberry Variation:
- Add 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients (based on your chosen flavor) into a 16-ounce mason jar. Screw the lid on tightly.
- Shake It Up: Shake the jar vigorously for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and nearly doubles in size. The cream should cling to the sides of the jar. Pro Tip: Set a timer to avoid over-shaking, which can turn the mixture into butter.
- Freeze: Place the jar flat in your freezer for 3–4 hours. For softer ice cream, enjoy after 3 hours; for firmer texture, freeze overnight. If freezing longer, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping.
- Serve & Enjoy: Scoop into bowls or eat straight from the jar for a rustic touch!
Notes
Serving Suggestions: Pair with fresh berries or sprinkle with sugar-free chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Tips & Tricks:
- Use powdered sweetener to avoid graininess in texture.
- For creamier results, shake the jar every hour during the first two hours of freezing to break up ice crystals.
- Allulose works best for a smoother finish if available.
Storage & Reheating: Store in the freezer for up to one month. To soften after extended freezing, leave at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving. Avoid reheating, as it will melt completely and lose its texture.
