Ingredients

• ½ cup heavy cream
• 2 tsp granulated sugar
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Directions

• Combine all ingredients together in a pint mason jar (wide-mouthed jars are easiest for this recipe, but any kind will do), and then seal the lid of the jar tightly.
• Set a timer for three minutes and shake vigorously until the timer reaches zero.
• Place the jar in the freezer. Ice cream will be a soft-serve-like consistency after about three hours, or leave it to freeze for longer if you prefer harder.
• If you have trouble removing the lid after taking the jar out of the freezer, try gently running cool water on the lid for about 30 seconds.
