    A pretty Bubblegum Milkshake brings you back to childhood with vanilla ice cream, bubblegum flavoring, whipped cream, and gumballs on top!

    Gumballs are a happy, cheerful candy that all kids love! This bubblegum milkshake combines gumballs with vanilla ice cream for a unique treat. Our kids used to get bubblegum ice cream from a local ice cream shop, and their favorite part was getting to chew the gum afterward.

    What You’ll Need

    • Milk: We always use whole milk to help keep the milkshake thick and creamy. You can use skim milk if you want but start with less since it is thinner.
    • Ice Cream: Vanilla ice cream is the perfect base for this milkshake since it will allow the bubblegum flavor to show through. You could also use strawberry ice cream for a strawberry bubblegum shake.
    • Flavoring: We used Lorann bubblegum flavoring. It is available at select craft stores and online. You may be able to find bubblegum syrup online but keep in mind that you will need to add more syrup than flavoring.
    • Food Coloring: To increase the pink color of the shake, we added a little pink food coloring.
    • Toppings: Whipped cream and pink gumballs look so cute on top. If you prefer not to use gumballs, we suggest using large pink sprinkles instead.

    How To Make A Bubblegum Milkshake

    Adding flavoring to the blender.

    Put the whole milk and vanilla ice cream in the blender, along with bubblegum flavoring and pink food coloring.

    Blending until smooth.

    Blend until the shake is smooth. Depending on your blender, you may need to stop it and stir the ingredients before continuing to blend the shake.

    Other Ways To Make It

    Blue Bubblegum Shake

    To make a blue version, use 1/2 teaspoon of bubblegum flavoring, one teaspoon of blueberry flavoring, and blue food coloring. Top the shake with whipped cream and blue gumballs.

    Strawberry Bubblegum Milkshake

    Strawberry bubblegum is another popular flavor! Add 1/2 teaspoon of bubblegum flavoring, one teaspoon of strawberry flavoring, and pink food coloring.

    Layered Milkshake

    You can make a layered milkshake by alternating pink and blue milkshakes in chilled glasses. Make one flavor and divide it between two glasses. Put the glasses in the freezer while making the second flavor. Then, pour the second flavor over the first.

    What Others Want To Know

    Does a bubblegum milkshake taste like bubblegum?

    Yes, it has a light bubblegum flavor. You can make it more intense by adding more bubblegum flavoring.

    Is there gum in a bubblegum milkshake?

    No, the bubblegum flavoring makes it taste like gum. There are gumballs on top of the milkshake, though.

    Why put gumballs on top?

    The gumballs are for decoration, but the best part is that you get to chew the gum after you’ve enjoyed your milkshake.
