These adorable Pink Bubble Gum Ice Cream Cone Pigs will bring the kid out in everyone. This fun treat is great for cooling off in the summer!
Were you one of those kids who loved finding bits of bubble gum inside your ice cream?
I have to admit the child in me loves the flavor of bubble gum ice cream but has never enjoyed finding bubble gum balls in every bite of my frozen treat.
Making my own homemade version was the perfect solution to the overload of bubble gum problem I've encountered in most bubble gum ice cream.
My version of this sweet treat is smooth and creamy throughout, with only a few bubble gum decorations adorning the outside of the ice cream scoop.
The decorations were necessary to make this scoop of bright pink goodness look like a pig.
Why a pig you ask? No particular reason, other than I thought it was cute.
Don't you?
Ingredients
Bubble Gum Ice Cream:
heavy whipping cream
sweetened condensed milk
LorAnn bubble gum oil
pink gel food coloring
Decorations:
6 ice cream cones
6 pieces pink bubble gum (I used Double Bubble)
12 candy eyes
6 curved chocolate sprinkles
Supplies
gum paste dog bone tool (or use a lollipop stick)

Instructions
Make pink bubble gum ice cream.
Beat 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, 1 dram of bubble gum oil, and several drops of pink food coloring until they form stiff peaks.
Add one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk and whisk to combine.
Freeze the bubble gum ice cream for at least 3 hours.
Make bubble gum decorations.
Cut one piece of bubble gum into five slices, widthwise. Flatten and shape each slice into pointed ovals. Pinch one end into a sharper point. To give the ears a bit more shape use a gum paste dog bone tool or a lollipop stick to create the indentation in each ear.
Create a total of 12 ears for your 6 ice cream cone pigs.
Cut one piece of bubble gum in half, widthwise. Smooth out each piece as needed Use the dog bone tool to create two indentations for the nose. Create a total of 6 noses. In order to attach those noses to the scoops of bubble gum ice cream, you need to create a bubble gum cone to attach to the back of them. To do so, cut a piece of bubble gum into three slices. Pinch and shape the slice into a cone. Rub your finger on the flat part to make the gum a bit sticky and attach it to the backside of each bubble gum snout.
Select 6 curved chocolate sprinkles to use for the pigs' mouths.
Decorate your ice cream cone pigs.
Before serving, fill six cones with ice cream and add a big scoop on top then return to the freezer for at least 15 minutes or up to 8 hours. If you leave them in the freezer for too long, the cones will become chewy.
Working with one ice cream cone at a time, use a knife to create a small hole on the front side of the ice cream cone. Insert a bubble gum snout. Insert two ears. Press two candy eyes and a chocolate sprinkle smile onto the ice cream to create a total of 6 adorable pigs. Pop back into the freezer and grab another cone to decorate.
You can make and decorate these cones, then place them back in the freezer for up to 8 hours. This is great if you are having a party.
Imagine how cute these would be served at a farm day party, as a treat after a petting zoo trip, or simply for some summer fun.

I love that you used bubble gum for the snout and ears and if I add a little chocolate, my little pig could be rolling around in the mud!
beth
Chocolate mud would make a great addition to these cuties.
Lisa@hooplapalooza
oh my goodness! how i would love to pig out on these piggies! the cutest ever! :>D

I was trying to come up with something clever to say about these pigs, and you nailed it. I thought about when pigs fly, happier than a pig in mud, but totally forgot about pigging out! You rock!
