    This is a fun recipe that kids of most ages can make. However, some kids may need assistance as needed.

    More tips for you

    1. This recipe works best with a glass pint (16 ounce) mason jar.
    2. Also, when selecting you mason jars, use the metal lid that comes with the mason jars. Plastic lids will not work well in this recipe.
    3. Before placing your mason jar in the freezer, make sure that the lid is properly sealed.
    4. Lastly, avoid over-shaking the jar after adding the ingredients. Doing so can result in whipped cream and not ice cream.

    However, you can make yours even better.

    Try one of these ideas.

    • Add some crushed cookies, chopped nuts, or even candies to your ice cream.
    • Instead of using regular sugar, try using a flavored sugar for a fun taste.
    • Instead of vanilla extract, try banana extract or maple extract.
