Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

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.

Notes
Storage: This ice cream recipe should really be eaten within 3 hours of making it for the best taste, consistency, and quality. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in the freezer. When you're ready to eat it again, let it sit out on the counter for about 15 minutes so it can soften up a bit. Ideally, you'll want to eat it within a week for the best quality. After that, it will still be safe to eat but may not taste as good.
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.
