Related: About this forumMake Ice Cream, in a Mason Jar.
Making ice cream at home feels like alchemy, a complex process of mixing and cooling.
Now that summer is fast approaching, maybe try it out. You dont even need a fancy ice-cream maker. All you really need is heavy cream, a Mason jar and strong forearms. Its a fun at-home project and so easy a child could be in charge.
Basic Mason Jar Ice Cream
Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
A 16 oz Mason jar, of course.
Yield: About three servings.
Steps
1. Pour the cream, sugar, vanilla and salt into the jar, and screw on the lid tightly.
2. Shake vigorously, until the cream thickens and almost doubles in size, which should take about five minutes. Youll know youre done when the mixture doubles in volume and is about the consistency of brownie batter.
3. Freeze for at least 3 hours. Then eat. Youre welcome.'>>>
