🔪 How to Make Sugar Free Mason Jar Ice Cream
Pour the heavy cream into a mason jar.
Pour in the vanilla extract.
Add in the allulose. Make sure you are using powdered allulose, so the ice cream will have a smooth texture, without being grainy.
Pour in the cocoa powder.
Place the lid on and shake vigorously for 5 minutes. It’s important that you shake it for the full 5 minutes, otherwise it won’t get the volume needed.
An alternative is to blend using an immersion blender. If you do this, be very careful not to over mix it to the point where you’ve made butter. That will ruin the batch.
This is how it should look after shaking. It should have increased in volume and have the texture of whipped cream.
Place in the freezer for 3 hours or until it reaches your desired consistency.
💡 Tips for Making Mason Jar Ice Cream
- Use powdered allulose for a smooth texture that doesn’t crystallize.
- Shake the mason jar for the full 5 minutes to build volume.
- Chill the mason jar before starting to keep the mixture colder.
- Place the jar flat in the freezer for even freezing.
- For a firmer set, freeze at least 4 hours instead of 3.
☑️ Storage Instructions
Store the ice cream sealed in the mason jar up to 2 weeks for best flavor and texture.
🔄 Substitutions and Additions
- Chocolate chips: Add a tablespoon of sugar-free chocolate chips before freezing for texture.
- Peanut butter: Mix in a swirl of peanut butter for a sweet and salty twist.
- Espresso: Sprinkle in a little espresso powder for mocha flavor.
- Nuts: Stir in a few chopped pecans before freezing for crunch.
- Caramel: Add a drizzle of sugar-free caramel once frozen for topping.
Why Isn’t My Ice Cream Thickening After Shaking?
You may not have shaken it long enough. Be sure to go the full 5 minutes.
Can I Use a Different Sweetener Instead of Allulose?
Yes, but some like erythritol can crystallize and make the ice cream gritty.
How Do I Make It Extra Chocolatey?
Add an extra teaspoon of cocoa powder or stir in sugar-free chocolate chips.
Why Does My Ice Cream Have Icy Bits?
It usually means the sweetener wasn’t fully dissolved. Use powdered allulose for the best results.
Can I Double the Recipe in One Jar?
No, the mixture needs room to expand when shaken. Use two jars if doubling.
How Do I Make It Softer Straight from the Freezer?
Let the jar sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.
