A party or wedding favor that will make your guests mouths water! I just about passed out when I found out this tutorial I designed was featured on Style Me Pretty this week- in case you missed it, click here.
The homemade ice cream jars are so fun to use for summer party or wedding favors. They are also a great way to say a cheerful Happy Summer to your neighbors. We dropped a few off on doorsteps of our newest friends during an early morning walk this week.
Homemade Ice Cream Favors
- Print out the I scream for ice cream labels for your jars- HERE. The download includes four large labels for the front of your jars, four blank side labels and four directional side labels.
- Cut out labels and personalize the blank one to say what you would like to your guests
- Pour 1 cup rock salt into the bottom of each jar
- Pour 1 tablespoon sugar & 1 teaspoon vanilla powder into a small (quart size) zip-lock bag and seal
- Combine the bag of powder and 8 of the half & half packets in each jar
- Tie on your front label with twine & tie on your side labels with ribbon for your guests
Use these for your summer party or get the kids involved & walk a few down the street to make new friends!

I love this idea, but I’ve never seen vanilla powder, and are there instructions somewhere on how to make the ice cream?
Any substitutions for the vanilla powder? What size are the jars?
I am having an ice cream party for my daughter’s birthday. These are going to be such cute favors!! I am so excited to make them but I live in a small town and am not sure if I can get my hands on vanilla powder. But I want to make them sooo badly! Any suggestions?
