Easy Mason Jar Ice Cream

Pour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, if using, into a pint sized mason jar and tightly secure with the lid. Shake the mason jar for 3-5 minutes, until the cream thickens and almost doubles in size. Mixture should be able to easily coat the back of a spoon.

Freeze jar for 3 hours, or until ice cream hardens. Scoop and serve with your favorite ice cream toppings.

You can flavor the ice cream by adding optional upgrades. If adding fruit, mash the fruit in the mason jar with the sugar before adding cream, vanilla extract and salt, if using. If adding crushed cookies, mix in after shaking the ice cream mixture, but before freezing.
