Hi Bold Bakers! When it comes to making ice cream, I showed you a few years ago that you don’t need an ice cream machine to make it — but you could achieve amazing ice cream made by an electric mixer. It doesn’t get much easier than that, right? WRONG! Brace yourselves for How to Make Homemade Ice Cream In a Jar!!!! Already have an account?
What is Homemade Ice Cream In A Jar?
You start out with 3 things: heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and a jar! Get your work out on and shake them up really well until the mixture thickens. The shaking incorporates air into the mix which thickens the cream. Within minutes, hey presto you have Homemade Ice Cream in a Jar. It is literally that easy. [ Don’t forget I have over 100+ ice cream flavors and frozen desserts in my Freezer Section! ]

Substitute for cream? Unfortunately, there is not! It has to be cream, not milk. And it has to have a minimum of 36% fat content. Make your own condensed milk! It’s just sugar and milk. Find the recipe here for my Condensed Milk. Listen to your ice cream: Once the mix sounds less and less liquid you can tell it is ticketing. That is when it’s ready. Can you over-shake it? Yes, and it can split, so take a peek to make sure you haven’t shaken it too much. Don’t put the glass jar into a freeze! I use these disposable Ice-Cream Containers or you can use plastic Tupperware. Want to make more flavors? Follow the same guidelines for my No Machine Ice-Cream and see you can make any flavor you like.
How do I store ice cream? How long does it last?
In an ice-cream container, disposable Ice-Cream Containers, or a freezable container, freeze your ice-cream for a minimum of 6 hours before enjoying. Store in the freezer for up to 8 weeks.
