    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    I love mason jar ice creams and have been experimenting a lot lately with different flavor combinations. This one right here is a true winner. It's absolutely perfect for any occasion because it's a sweet treat you can't beat. Serve it up with chocolate syrup and you've got yourself a perfect dessert for one. No sharing is required.

    If you love toasted marshmallows (and who doesn't?) Then this roasted marshmallow ice cream recipe is perfect because it's just the right balance of toasty, sweet, creamy, and chewy.

    What I love most is that I can grab a few mason jars toast a handful of marshmallows in the oven and then get my kids to do the shaking. They love helping out with these ice creams and helping me to come up with new flavors.

    ingredients needed for toasted marshmallow ice cream

    🥘 Ingredients

    • Heavy Cream: This is the base of our ice cream and will make it nice and creamy. If you have to choose between different heavy whipping cream options, always go for the higher fat percentage because it yields a much creamier result.
    • Sugar: We only need a little granulated sugar to help sweeten our ice cream.
    • Vanilla: Adding vanilla extract will help to enhance the flavors in our recipe.
    • Large Marshmallows: We will be toasting these in the oven but you can also just use 2-3 tablespoon of marshmallow fluff if you don't want your marshmallows to be toasted.

    • Baking Sheet
    • Aluminum Foil or parchment paper

    🔪 Instructions

    Check out how to make toasted marshmallow mason jar ice cream with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    Turn your oven onto high broil and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

    Place 4 large marshmallows in the center of the pan and broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until toasted to your liking. Pay careful attention as they will go from golden to burnt really fast.

    Once roasted, smash them in a bowl and set them aside.

    Pour your heavy cream into the mason jar.

    Add in vanilla extract and the smashed cooled marshmallows.

    Close the lid to the jar tightly and shake well for 3-5 minutes or until the liquid has thickened.

    Open the lid and dip a spoon in. Hold the spoon upside down. You want the liquid to not drip (one or two drips is fine) but it should cling well to the spoon.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    Making mason jar ice cream is so easy a kid can do it (and mine do). What you should remember is that a pint sized jar is perfect because there is plenty of space for the ice cream to move around and thicken as you shake the jar. Too small of a jar will result in less room so it will be much harder to mix everything up.

    When you first start shaking the jar you will notice there is plenty of sloshing around, but depending on how fast or hard you're shaking the jar you may notice that within 1-2 minutes the liquid is moving less until there is no sloshing. You want to stop at this point. When you can noticeably feel and hear that the liquid is moving much less than it was, stop.

    To overmix your ice cream will result in separation which is actually how you make your own butter...which is not what we are trying to do.

    You will be able to open the lid, dip a spoon in, and hold it up. The spoon should remain coated in cream and have no drips (one or two small ones is fine, just don't let it roll off the spoon like chicken broth). Once your ice cream in a mason jar can do this, close the lid and place it in the freezer to chill for a few hours.

    💭 FAQs

    Whats the difference between heavy cream and heavy whipping cream?

    The two are practically the same thing and are easily interchangeable in recipes without any noticeable difference. The biggest difference is the fat content as one is easier to whip than the other but both are great and will work in this recipe.

    This ice cream in a jar is good for up to 6 months when kept sealed in the freezer. However, once you open the jar and thaw the ice cream enough to eat, I do not recommend re-freezing it. This ice cream is best enjoyed in one sitting.
