It’s Easy to Make

Not Messy

The hardest part about this recipe is picking what you want to place in your ice cream. I created four different flavors, but don’t let me hold you back! Get creative and enjoy coming up with your mason jar ice cream recipe.

I totally could see this dessert for a dinner party, and you can ask your guest their favorite flavor and toppings ahead of time. Then, each person can have their ice cream.

Here are the flavors that I came up with for this recipe.

Flavors to Add to Your Ice Cream

Blueberries and Cream

I smush about 1/3 cup of fresh blueberries. Then after shaking the cream, I added them.

Peaches and Cream

I used fresh peaches that I picked from a local farm. I removed the skins, sliced them, and sauteed them in a little bit of butter and sugar. After they cooled, I then cut them into small chunks and added them to the thick cream.

Chocolate Ice Cream

I cut about a half cup of my favorite chocolate (Trader’s Joe’s One Pound Belgium Dark Chocolate bar) and added it to my whipped cream. I also drizzled some chocolate syrup into the cream before shaking it for four minutes.

Cookies and Cream

I placed some cookies on a cutting board and took my rolling pin, and crushed them. I probably added about 1/2 cup of crushed oreo cookies. We love Trader Joe’s gluten-free Joe-Joes.
