Bubble Gum Ice Cream
This rich and creamy bubble ice cream is so easy to make. Relive nostalgic childhood with every bite, no chewing required!
I love unique ice cream flavors that taste like something else. I've previously shared fun flavors like Orange Creamsicle and Cotton Candy. My newest creation is bubblegum ice cream. It reminds me of hot summer days hanging out with my friends. When we saw the ice cream truck, I'd grab a Screwball, which was ice cream with a gumball at the bottom.
This recipe is perfect for summer, birthdays, or even baby showers.
Why I Love This Recipe
- Super Easy: This recipe takes just a few minutes to prep; no homemade syrup is required!
- Spot On Flavor: It tastes JUST like bubblegum!
- No Fancy Equipment: You don't even need an ice cream maker!
Ingredient Notes/Shopping Tips
- Heavy Cream: Make sure your heavy cream is fresh out of the fridge; it will whip faster this way.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: Grab sweetened condensed milk, NOT evaporated milk. Sweetened condensed milk has sugar added, while evaporated milk does not.
- Bubblegum Oil: Look for this in craft stores' candy sections or online. I like the brand LorAnn.
Use Gel Food Coloring
Use gel instead of liquid for a bright color with less excess liquid.
How To Make Bubblegum Ice Cream
- Beat heavy whipping cream until thickened.
- Stiri n vanilla, gel food coloring, sweetened condensed milk, and bubble gum oil.
- Fold in bubblegum pieces.
- Pour into a loaf pan and freeze for 5-6 hours.
Leftovers
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Store in the back of the freezer where it is coldest and temperatures are most consistent.
️Krystle's Tips️
- Freeze your bowl and utensils to help your cream whip quickly.
- Before adding your milk, make sure the heavy cream doubles in volume and holds stiff peaks. This is key to a light and airy ice cream. It should stand up and holds its shape even if your mixer or whisk is placed upside down.
- Fold in your ingredients after this so you don't deflate all the air you whipped in.
- Store with plastic wrap pressed onto the ice cream surface to prevent ice crystals. I also prefer a loaf pan over a bowl as it gives you more surface area (and thus it freezes faster).
- Freeze gumballs for a few hours to make them easier to cut through. This also makes the color less likely to bleed.
Birthday Party Hack
Freeze ice cream in a cupcake pan with liners so you don't have to waste time scooping and everyone can grab and go.
