Recipe FAQ's:


Can you freeze mason jars with ice cream?

Yes, you absolutely can freeze mason jars. I freeze my homemade ice cream in individual glass mason jars, because it's fun and an easy way to serve.

How long does mason jar ice cream last?

They say Mason jar ice cream stays fresh for about 6 weeks but in my house it is eaten so quickly we never really get to see how long it can last.

How many WW points is a sugar cone?

Everyone needs an ice cream cone with their homemade mason jar ice cream. Luckily a sugar cone is only 2 points on Weight Watchers, so make yourself an ice cream cone!


Expert Tips:


  • Try making different mason jar ice cream flavors. For Chocolate Mason Jar ice cream skip the strawberries and add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and a handful of chocolate chips instead.
  • Leave out the strawberries and you will have a an epic mason jar vanilla ice cream.
  • Add in some crushed Oreo cookies for a Mason Jar Oreo Cookie Ice Cream
  • Use your homemade strawberry ice cream to create strawberry shortcake in a mason jar by making a layer of ice cream and then add a layer of shortcake and continue the layers until the top of the jar.
