Step-by-Step Instructions for Nostalgic Homemade Bubblegum Ice Cream
  1. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of milk with the cornstarch until smooth; set this slurry aside.
  2. In a blender, add 45 pieces of Bazooka Bubblegum, whole milk, and heavy cream. Blend until completely pureed, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan, adding 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium while stirring until it simmers, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low, whisk in the cornstarch slurry, and cook while whisking for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a Ziploc bag and place in an ice water bath for 15-20 minutes until cooled.
  6. Use a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth to strain the mixture into a bowl, removing any sticky gum residues.
  7. Pour the strained base into your ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
