If you’re looking for a fun, simple ice cream recipe, this Mason Jar Ice Cream has been made for generations. Only four ingredients, and sugar free options too!

Aimee’s Recipe Notes


Taste & Texture: creamy vanilla ice cream!
Tools Needed: Just a wide mouth mason jar and lid. Plus a little muscle to shake.
Prep Note: this ice cream needs to freeze for at least 4 hours. I like to make it the night before so it sets up perfectly.
Top Tip: I love using Besti sweeteners. They don’t leave the cooling aftertaste like other brands!
Just Four Ingredients


Be sure to scroll down to the recipe card for complete ingredients list and measurements.
- Heavy Whipping Cream- this full fat cream creates the perfect texture for today’s sugar free ice cream.
- Powdered Sugar- use regular confectioner’s sugar, or make it sugar free and use powdered monk fruit or Stevia.
- Vanilla- I prefer using pure vanilla extract. But for an even richer flavor, use vanilla bean paste!


More Flavor Options
Strawberry- use a no sugar added freeze dried strawberry in this ice cream. Pulse the freeze dried strawberries a couple times (keeping some chunks) and shake it into the cream.
Chocolate Chip- if keeping this ice cream sugar free, add some sugar free chocolate chips (or regular if that’s your thing). I love using Lily’s Chocolate chips!
Chocolate- love chocolate? Add 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder to the cream and shake. Drizzle with sugar free chocolate syrup when serving.
