# Chef's Tips:

01 -
  • No ice cream maker required, just bowls and a freezer
  • The flavor is ridiculously authentic and brings back childhood memories
  • Creamier than store bought versions with that perfect texture
02 -
  • Bubblegum flavoring is incredibly concentrated, so start with less than you think you need
  • The ice cream needs to sit at room temperature for about five minutes before scooping or it will be rock hard
  • Chopping the bubblegum candies into smaller pieces makes them easier to eat straight from the freezer
03 -
  • Line your loaf pan with parchment paper before pouring in the mixture for easier removal later
  • Store bubblegum candies in the freezer for an hour before chopping them so they dont stick to your knife
