Ingredients
2 1/2cupshalf and half
1½cupsheavy cream
¾cupsugar
2egg yolks
1teaspoonvanilla extract
¼teaspoonsalt
Blue or red extractdepending what color you want
12piecesDouble Bubble
Gum BallsNuggets, 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.
