Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Pinch salt
- chocolate chips sprinkles, peanut butter, crushed cookies, etc. (optional)
Instructions
- Pour cream, sugar, vanilla and salt into an 8 ounce mason jar. Add any mix-ins you’re using. Cover the jar with its tight-fitting lid and shake until the ingredients become thick and double in size, about 3 to 4 minutes. You can also use an electric mixer to blend quicker.
- Freeze for 2 to 3 hours until the consistency resembles soft-serve ice cream, being careful not to freeze any longer to avoid ice crystals.
- Scoop out ice cream and serve with your favorite toppings
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Tip: If you accidentally over-mix your ice cream base, turn it into whip cream instead. If you go beyond whipped cream into the butter territory, don't toss it! Save it for a sweet treat to use on toast, bagels, or English muffins.
