Cost: Recipe $0.88
Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream ($0.75)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar ($0.01)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ($0.03)
- 1-2 tablespoon cocoa powder ($0.09)
Instructions
- Add ingredients to jar. Measure the heavy whipping cream into a mason jar. Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder.
- Seal the jar. Secure the lid tightly to prevent leaks.
- Shake to thicken. Shake vigorously for about 3 minutes, until the mixture thickens and clings to a spoon with only minimal dripping.
- Freeze. Place the jar in the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours before eating.
Notes
- Jar size. Use a properly sized mason jar to allow enough room for shaking and thickening.
- Shaking cue. Stop shaking once the mixture thickens and no longer moves freely.
- Thickness test. Dip a spoon into the mixture. It should cling to the spoon with only a few drops falling back.
- Cocoa strength. Use 1 tablespoon for a lighter chocolate flavor or 2 tablespoons for a richer ice cream.
- Storage. Store sealed in the freezer for up to 6 months. For best texture, avoid refreezing once thawed.
