An infinitely adaptable recipe to make ice cream for one (or two if you are feeling generous) in a 1 pint jar. The base is simple and easy and the flavor options are limitless.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (can sub with granulated sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese or mascarpone (you can skip this, the ice cream will be slightly less creamy)
  • 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • pinch fine sea salt
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream (or heavy cream)
  • 2-3 tablespoons other flavoring
  • 2 tablespoons mix-ins (chocolate, cookies, cake, sprinkles, nuts, etc)

Directions

  1. 1

    Add all the ingredients to a mason jar, except any add-ins, and beat together with a hand mixer. Alternatively add them all to a bowl and beat. It's easier if you mix the base first (without the heavy cream) so that the cream cheese fully dissolves, and then add the heavy cream and mix until thick.

  2. 2

    Stop whipping when there are no more lumps and the mixture is smooth, thick and creamy. It'll take about 5 minutes or so.

  3. 3

    Stir in mix-ins, if using.

  4. 4

    Transfer to jar, seal and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
