The whole family will love making (and eating) this keto mason jar ice cream! If you don’t have an ice cream maker and don’t like the fuss of stirring no churn ice cream by hand, the solution is keto ice cream in a mason jar. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it doesn’t require any special equipment. I’ve got three flavors of mason jar keto ice cream for you to try.
Grab your mason jars and your Besti, we’re making keto ice cream! (If you do have an ice cream maker, be sure to also try my classic keto ice cream recipe as well.)
Can You Make Keto Ice Cream In A Mason Jar?
Yes, you can make keto mason jar ice cream! I know it’s probably hard to believe…but it actually works! Try it out to see for yourself.
How To Make Keto Mason Jar Ice Cream
You can make your very own keto ice cream in a jar with just 3 simple steps:
- Combine keto mason jar ice cream ingredients. Add heavy cream, Besti monk fruit allulose blend, vanilla extract, and salt into a mason jar.
FYI: If making a strawberry or chocolate versions, you’ll need to add extra ingredients. Chocolate ice cream will just need cocoa powder added, and for strawberry flavored ice cream, you’ll cook the berries on the stovetop before adding them.
- Shake.Seal the jar and shake for about 3 minutes. The mixture should be thick and double in volume.
- Freeze. Freeze the mason jar keto ice cream recipe for about 4-6 hours, or until it reaches the consistency between soft and hard ice cream.
Keto Ice Cream In A Mason Jar FAQs
Can you use a different sweetener?
For best results and a soft consistency (no thanks to rock-hard ice cream!), there are two sweeteners I recommend:
- Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – This is the sweetener I used in this recipe. It’s convenient for adjusting sweetness because it’s a 1:1 sugar replacement.
- Wholesome Yum Allulose – Plain allulose works just as well, but you’ll need more – about 2 tablespoons per batch, instead of 1.5 tablespoons.
Crystallized vs Powdered Sweetener for Ice Cream:
- Powdered Besti is recommended for the vanilla and chocolate flavors, because it dissolves better.
- Regular Besti is fine for the strawberry flavor because you simmer it first, which helps it dissolve.
- If you only have regular but want to make chocolate or vanilla, just simmer the sweetener like you would keto simple syrup.
You could try it with other keto sweeteners, but I don’t recommend it for two reasons:
- Most keto sweeteners will be gritty. The two allulose-based sweeteners above dissolve very well, making for a smooth ice cream. If you use an erythritol-based sweetener (which includes most brands of monk fruit), the granules won’t dissolve well and will be gritty. You could try a powdered version if you really want to go that route.
- Most keto sweeteners will make rock-hard mason jar ice cream. Erythritol-based sweeteners freeze much harder than allulose-based ones do. The sweeteners I recommend above will keep your ice cream nice and scoopable.
Can you use a different container?
Sure! Just make sure it can hold 2 cups (the ingredients will expand as you shake them), has a tight lid, and is freezer safe. Mason jars are just convenient for this.

Mason Jar Keto Ice Cream Storage Instructions
Can you make mason jar keto ice cream ahead?
Yes, of course! You need to make keto ice cream in a jar ahead, as it needs time in the freezer to set up.

Store the keto ice cream in a mason jar in the freezer for up to a month – it’s convenient stored right in jar.
It’s best fresh, but will last 2-3 months in the freezer. Thaw slightly before eating.

- Sugar-free Chocolate Chips – You can put them on top or mix them in before freezing.
- Sugar-Free Raspberry Sauce – Find the recipe in my Easy Keto Cookbook!

Strawberry Mason Jar Ice Cream:
Combine diced strawberries, water, and Besti sweetener in a small pot on the stove. Bring to a boil for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Add all ingredients in a 16 oz. wide-mouth mason jar. Seal and shake for approximately 3 minutes. Mixture should be thick and double in volume (be careful not to shake so much that it becomes whipped cream or butter).
Freeze for 4-6 hours, turning jar over every hour to prevent the strawberries from sinking to the bottom. Ice cream is ready when the consistency is between soft and hard ice cream.
Vanilla or Chocolate Mason Jar Ice Cream:
Add all ingredients in a 16 oz. wide-mouth mason jar. Seal and shake for approximately 3 minutes. Mixture should be thick and double in volume (be careful not to shake so much that it becomes whipped cream or butter).
Freeze for 4-6 hours until consistency is between soft and hard ice cream.
