Mason jar ice cream is pretty much frozen vanilla whipped cream with a pinch of salt. The amount of shaking can greatly determine the consistency of your cream. Have you ever tried making mason jar butter? It takes quite a bit more shaking, but it’s amazing to see the difference.

On Wednesday August 11th at 6 pm EST, we will meet virtually to make Mason Jar Ice Cream and Brownie Bowls together. Are you registered?

We will be making everything from scratch and you are welcome to follow along exactly. However, you can also bake alongside us using your own favorite ice cream, brownie mix, or your favorite brownie recipe if you prefer.

Everyone joining needs:

If you are baking along with us exactly, you will need to have the following ingredients:
