Bubble Gum Ice Cream Recipe
A Blue Bubble Gum Ice Cream Recipe was IT for me when I was a kid. Rainbow sherbet? No thanks. You can have your Rocky Road… Bubble gum ice cream topped the charts.
And not just any one, the blue kind. Which apparently manufacturers thought was in short supply because they hoarded that stuff. I knew of one location when I was younger and I would beg my parents to take me. Unfortunately, it was a good hour away.
But you know when you are alone and you’re like: “mom, lets get donuts” and she says… “no! eat your carrots” “for breakfast?” “don’t ask questions!!” But if your friends are over she’s like… “Of course honey, what kind!?” psh… I eventually became privy to that game so when my cousin was here, I knew she’d never say no!
To this day my cousin and my favorite ice cream is still blue bubble gum. And when I was pregnant with my second son the craving struck…. I wish I could say I was motivated enough at 7 months to make homemade ice cream but I won’t lie to all of you. I was lucky enough to find it at our local grocery store here and it was fantastic.
This will sound funny though, but I was never keen on those HUGE gumballs sitting there all frozen in my ice cream. I avoid anything that stands in my way of NOT having to chew. But I did love picking them all out and setting them aside and then when everyone was done with their ice cream treat, I still had mine!
Muahahaha…. So for my ice cream recipe I found these awesome little gum “nuggets” that wont hurt if you swallow them (and I refuse to believe they sit in my stomach for 7 years…)
Bubble Gum Ice Cream Recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups half and half
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Blue or red extract depending what color you want
- 12 pieces Double Bubble
- Gum Balls Nuggets, Chiclets…. the options are endless!
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together all of the ingredients up to the Dubble Bubble. Make sure everything is combined and starting to warm through.
- Add in the pieces of bubble gum and bring to a light boil. Whisk until the gum is practically melted and the base has started to thicken.
- Remove from heat and place in a sturdy container. Cover and place in the fridge until completely cold. A minimum of 6 hours but I think overnight is best.
- You might notice a lot of the gum particles have sunken to the bottom but using a fine mesh strainer pour the base through to remove any remaining.
- Pour your base into an ice cream maker and churn for a good 30 minutes. If you are adding in smaller pieces of gum, pour in during the last 10 minutes of churning. Otherwise if using the bigger gum balls combine with the ice cream once churning process is finished.
- For a “soft serve” feel eat once it’s finished otherwise, I like to freeze mine for a good 2 hours more.
What You’ll Need For This Recipe:
Ice Cream Maker
I realize you’re all thinking “What difference in flavor does the food coloring make?” “Why would pink taste any different than blue?”
It wouldn’t…. OK!? But there’s nothing more satisfactory than a blue ring around your mouth! SO it’s still my favorite.
The base has a full bubble gum flavor so gum balls aren’t even necessary! Enjoy this today!
(By the way… The first 6 ingredients make a great base for any flavor of ice cream. The options are endless!)
*notice happy blue ring around mouth!!*

Hi I love ice cream so much and recently I have become lactose intolerant, so every time I eat ice cream i get really sick. But I remember this blue bubblegum ice cream when i was a little younger and I was wondering if there is a way to make this ice cream with it being dairy free, Is there substitutes i can do to be able to make it?
Thanks Jason
Monique Charles says
Oh yes! Finally someone who has the same ice cream tastes as me! I hate chewing on things in my ice cream and bubble gum is the best flavor.
I will so have to try this. Thanks so much for sharing!

I made the base… haven’t made it into ice cream yet. However, residual melted gum is now stuck all over my pan and I can’t figure out how to get it off. Did this happen to you, if so, how did you get it off? (I used a non-stick pan.)
Also, I searched several stores looking for the Bazooka bubblegum “nuggets” – where did you purchase those?
Thanks 🙂

You probably figured this out by now considering that it was years ago…I made bubble gum ice cream today and found the same sticky mess in the bottom of my pan. I tried cold water and peeling, I tried Goof off…didn’t work. Then, I simply put water in the pat and put it back on the stove to boil! I added paper towels and stirred the mess right off. I was relieved! It was easy
