Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Cornstarch Slurry: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch with whole milk until smooth. Set aside.
- Blend the Bubblegum Base: In a blender, combine Bazooka Bubblegum, whole milk, and heavy cream. Blend on high speed until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Heat the Mixture: Pour blended mixture into a saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and salt. Heat until simmering, but do not boil.
- Thicken the Base: Gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry, whisking continuously for 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
- Cool the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a plastic bag and submerge in ice water for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Strain the Mixture: Strain the cooled mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer to remove bubblegum pieces.
- Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the strained mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to instructions, about 20-25 minutes.
- Freeze and Firm Up: Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up.

For extra fun, add sprinkles or whipped cream before serving. Homemade bubblegum ice cream is best enjoyed within 2 weeks.
