Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons bubblegum flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Pink or red food coloring (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup confetti sprinkles
  • 1 cup gumballs (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Chill the Bowl: Begin by placing your ice cream maker bowl in the freezer for at least 24 hours. This is essential for achieving a creamy texture.
  2. Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, bubblegum flavoring, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Whisk for about 2-3 minutes until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  3. Add Color: Incorporate pink or red food coloring gradually until you achieve your desired shade of pink.
  4. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the mixture into your chilled ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually around 20-25 minutes) until it reaches a soft serve consistency.
  5. Incorporate Sprinkles: In the last two minutes of churning, add the confetti sprinkles, reserving a tablespoon for later use.
  6. Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the ice cream to a shallow container or loaf pan. Top with remaining sprinkles and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
  7. Serve: Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping. Serve with gumballs on top for an extra fun touch!

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

Pair this bubblegum ice cream with fruit salads or serve alongside birthday cake for a festive treat!

Tips & Tricks:

  • Ensure all ingredients are well combined to avoid gritty texture.
  • Use high-quality heavy cream for a richer flavor.
  • If using real bubblegum pieces instead of flavoring, blend them well into the mixture.

Storage & Reheating:

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To serve leftovers, let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften before scooping.
