Ingredients
-
2 cups heavy whipping cream
-
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
-
1–2 drops bubble gum extract
-
1–2 drops pink gel food coloring
-
¼ cup mini gumballs or chopped gum pieces for mix-in
Directions
Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Fold in Flavor: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, adding bubble gum extract and pink food coloring until evenly incorporated.
Add the Fun: Mix in chopped gumballs or bubble gum pieces for colorful, chewy bursts.
Freeze: Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 5–6 hours—or overnight—for a scoopable texture.
Serve: Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping for easier serving and softer texture.
Recipe Note
10 Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an ice cream maker?
No—this is a no‑churn recipe. Just whip, mix, and freeze.
How strong is bubble gum extract?
It’s potent. Start with 1–2 drops, taste, and adjust as needed.
What if I don’t have extract?
You can use bubblegum-flavored candy or syrup, though extract offers the most authentic flavor.
Can I skip the food coloring?
Yes—but adding pink gel coloring enhances the nostalgic, playful appearance.
Should I freeze the gumballs first?
Not necessary in this method—just fold them in. In churn versions, freezing helps prevent color bleed.
How long does it last in the freezer?
Store covered—it stays delicious for up to 2–3 weeks.
Can I make a dairy-free version?
Yes—substitute with coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
Why fold in the mix-ins gently?
To keep the whipped texture light and airy. Overmixing deflates the cream.
Is it safe to chew on gum pieces in ice cream?
Yes—though some may prefer not to chew. You can also omit them for smooth texture.
Can I make it ahead for a party?
Absolutely—freeze overnight, then soften briefly before serving for perfect scoops.
