How do you make low carb ice cream in a mason jar?

Good news! It’s super simple!

Pour the cream, powdered sweetener, vanilla and flavoring of choice into a 16 ounce mason jar and screw the lid on tightly.
Shake it up good! You'll want to shake the mason jar for about 5 minutes, until the cream thickens.
Pop it in the freezer for 3-4 hours and you’re good to go!

If you don't enjoy your ice cream right after the 3-4 hour period, of if you store it back in the freezer to come back to later, it'll get pretty solid. You can just leave it sitting out at room temperature for about 10 minutes and then it should be the perfect, creamy texture!
