I used to think making ice cream at home was something only chefs did — in clean white coats, with fancy machines and precise temperatures.
But then I saw this video from Gemma at Bigger Bolder Baking …
“Just two ingredients.”
“No machine needed.”
“All you need is a mason jar and some shaking.”
And honestly?
I didn’t believe it until I tried it myself.
Now?
I make this no-churn ice cream hack all the time — especially during summer when my kids want dessert every hour.
Let’s explore how to make creamy, dreamy ice cream using just a mason jar , heavy cream , and sweetened condensed milk — no churning required.
🧊 Why This Mason Jar Ice Cream Works So Well
Traditional ice cream requires an ice cream maker to churn the mixture as it freezes — otherwise, it turns into one solid block of sweet disappointment.
But here’s the genius part:
By mixing heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk in the right ratio — and shaking them together — you create a base that whips up like soft-serve just from motion alone.
Then freeze it.
And boom — creamy, scoopable joy.
