How do you make ice cream in a mason jar?

You're going to be blown away just how easy this is. The prep time is just a few minutes! It's so easy, my six-year-old daughter can do it start-to-finish on her own. Here are the steps: A split image shows step by step how to make mason jar ice cream
  1. Grab a Ball® Wide Mouth Pint Jar with a two piece lid.
  2. Pour 1 cup of cold heavy cream into the jar.
  3. Add in sugar, vanilla extract, and a hefty pinch of salt.
  4. Twist the lid closed tightly, and shake! This is the part that's really fun to get the kids involved with. You want to shake, shake, shake until the mixture has about doubled in volume and is about the thickness of pancake or brownie batter. It should take about 5 minutes.
  5. Pop the whole jar in the freezer. Try to remember to shake the jar every 30 minutes or so, but if you don't, it's no big deal.
  6. Come back to your jar in 2-3 hours, and you'll have delicious, silky ice cream ready to enjoy with your favorite chocolate sauce, whipped cream, chopped nuts, and other toppings!
