Bubblegum Cloud Fudge Recipe

✨ Introduction

Bubblegum Cloud Fudge is a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of bubblegum flavor with the creamy texture of fudge. Its pastel colors and fluffy look make it perfect for birthdays, baby showers, carnivals, or simply whenever you crave a magical dessert. Unlike traditional fudge, this recipe uses marshmallow fluff to create that “cloud-like” lightness while still being rich and decadent.

🛒 Ingredients

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow fluff
  • 1 tsp bubblegum extract (or flavoring oil, available in baking supply stores)
  • Pink and blue gel food coloring (or pastel shades of your choice)
  • Optional: sprinkles, edible glitter, or mini marshmallows for topping

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan
    • Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease with butter or spray.
  2. Melt the Base
    • In a saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.
  3. Add the Fluff & Flavor
    • Remove from heat and fold in the marshmallow fluff until fully combined. Stir in bubblegum extract.
  4. Divide & Tint
    • Divide the mixture into two or three bowls. Tint each portion with a small amount of food coloring (e.g., pink, blue, or pastel purple).
  5. Create the Cloud Effect
    • Drop spoonfuls of each colored mixture randomly into the prepared pan. Use a butter knife or skewer to swirl gently for a cloud-like marbled look.
  6. Set
    • Top with sprinkles or edible glitter if desired. Refrigerate for 3–4 hours (or until firm).
  7. Cut & Serve
    • Lift fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares or fun shapes. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

📜 History & Fun Fact

Bubblegum flavor was invented in 1928 by Walter Diemer, an accountant at Fleer Chewing Gum Company. He created the first pink bubblegum because that was the only food dye available at the time—hence why bubblegum is still mostly pink today! This fudge recipe takes inspiration from that classic pink bubblegum while giving it a modern, whimsical twist.

🌟 Benefits

  • Fun & nostalgic – brings childhood candy shop vibes.
  • Easy to make – no candy thermometer required.
  • Customizable – change colors, add toppings, or swap bubblegum for cotton candy flavor.
  • Perfect for parties – colorful and eye-catching!

🏗 Formation

The fudge sets because the sugar, condensed milk, and chocolate create a smooth crystalline structure, while marshmallow fluff keeps it airy and “cloud-like.” The food coloring swirls give the illusion of a dreamy sky.
