Bubblegum Cloud Fudge

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I like this recipe because it’s easy, eye-catching, and doesn’t require much effort. With just a few ingredients, I can create a batch of fudge that looks like it came from a candy shop. I also love how customizable it is—I can swirl in food coloring or add sprinkles to make it even more magical.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 21 1/4 ounces white chocolate (chopped or chips)

• 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

• 1 teaspoon bubblegum extract (or flavoring oil)

• Food coloring (pink, blue, or pastel shades, optional)

• Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional for topping)

Directions

1. I line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, I melt the white chocolate with sweetened condensed milk, stirring until smooth.

3. I stir in the bubblegum extract.

4. If using food coloring, I divide the mixture into bowls and tint each with a different pastel color.

5. I spoon the colors randomly into the pan, then swirl gently with a knife to create a cloud-like marbled effect.

6. I top with sprinkles or edible glitter if I want extra flair.

7. I refrigerate the fudge for 2–3 hours until firm.

8. I lift it out of the pan, cut it into squares, and serve.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 24 small squares. It takes around 10 minutes to prepare and about 2–3 hours to chill before slicing.

Variations

Sometimes I add mini marshmallows for a chewy surprise, or I drizzle melted pink candy melts on top for extra decoration. I also like to make rainbow swirls with several pastel colors when I want a more playful look.

storage/reheating

I store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months—just thaw in the fridge before serving.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate instead of white chocolate?

I can, but it will change the flavor and color. White chocolate works best for the bubblegum theme.

Where do I find bubblegum extract?

I usually find it online, at baking supply shops, or sometimes in specialty grocery stores.

Can I make this fudge without food coloring?

Yes, the flavor is the same, but the pastel swirls add the fun “cloud” look.

How do I keep the fudge from getting too hard?

I make sure not to overheat the chocolate and always use sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk).

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, it keeps well in the fridge, so I like making it a day or two before parties.

Conclusion

This bubblegum cloud fudge is a dreamy, playful dessert I love bringing to parties or gifting in little boxes. It’s creamy, colorful, and fun to eat, with that nostalgic bubblegum flavor that makes everyone smile. It’s easy to whip up, looks beautiful, and always disappears quickly.
