Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 can (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons bubble gum extract
- 1–3 drops pink food coloring
Add-Ins
- 1–2 cups gumballs
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a medium-sized bowl or using a stand mixer, pour 2 cups of heavy cream. Beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form, which should take about 3 minutes. This will create a light and airy base for the ice cream.
- Incorporate Sweetened Condensed Milk and Flavors: Gently pour in the 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk. Mix by hand to combine well with the whipped cream, ensuring a smooth mixture. Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and 1 to 2 teaspoons of bubble gum extract for that classic bubblegum taste. Mix again gently by hand.
- Add Color and Gumballs: Add 1 to 3 drops of pink food coloring, stirring carefully until you achieve the desired vibrant pink color. Next, fold in 1 to 2 cups of gumballs evenly throughout the mixture without crushing them.
- Freeze the Mixture: Transfer the mixture into an airtight, freezer-safe container. Seal it tightly to prevent freezer burn. Freeze for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight until the ice cream is firm.
- Serve: Once frozen solid, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade bubblegum treat!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of bubble gum extract and pink food coloring to achieve your preferred intensity of flavor and color.
- Use smaller or softer gumballs if you want easier scooping or serving options.
- Be gentle when folding gumballs into the ice cream base to avoid breaking them up too much.
- This recipe requires no ice cream maker — perfect for quick and fuss-free dessert preparation.
- Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent ice crystals.
