I love this fudge because it’s simple, quick, and fun to make. With only two ingredients as the base, I can let my creativity take over—adding colors, flavors, or sprinkles as I please. The texture is soft and creamy, and the flavor brings back those childhood bubblegum memories. It’s also a no-bake recipe, which means no oven and minimal fuss.

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
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
Optional: bubblegum flavoring, food coloring, and sprinkles

Directions

I start by lining an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal later.

In a microwave-safe bowl, I combine the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk.

I heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

If I’m adding bubblegum flavoring, I stir in a few drops at this point, tasting as I go to reach the right level of sweetness.

For that playful look, I mix in a drop or two of pink or blue food coloring—sometimes both for a swirl effect.

I pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

I let the fudge set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Once set, I cut it into squares and store it in an airtight container.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 16 small squares of fudge. It takes 5 minutes to prep, 5 minutes to melt and mix, and about 2 hours to chill. It’s the perfect quick treat I can make ahead for any sweet occasion.

Variations

Sometimes I swirl in different colors for a cotton-candy effect or top the fudge with rainbow sprinkles for a party vibe. If I want something tangy, I add a few crushed freeze-dried raspberries. For a twist, I’ve even layered it with a second flavor like vanilla or strawberry fudge for a two-tone look.

Storage/Reheating

I store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. It also freezes well—just wrap tightly and thaw in the fridge before serving. I don’t reheat this fudge, since it’s meant to stay chilled and firm.

FAQs

Can I use candy melts instead of white chocolate?

Yes, I sometimes use candy melts when I want bright colors or more intense flavor options. They melt easily and work well with the condensed milk.

What kind of bubblegum flavoring should I use?

I use concentrated bubblegum extract or oil, typically available in baking or candy supply stores. A few drops go a long way.

Can I make this without flavoring?

Absolutely. Without the bubblegum extract, I get a simple and creamy white chocolate fudge that’s still delicious on its own or as a base for other flavors.

How do I get a swirl effect?

I divide the melted mixture into separate bowls, tint each with different food colors, then spoon them into the pan and swirl gently with a knife before chilling.

Is this fudge shelf-stable?

It’s best stored in the refrigerator to keep its texture, especially in warm weather. I don’t leave it at room temperature for more than a couple of hours.

Conclusion

Bubblegum Cloud Fudge is a fun, no-fuss treat that always adds a touch of magic to my dessert table. Whether I’m making it for a party, holiday gift boxes, or just because, it’s a recipe that sparks joy with every creamy, colorful bite.
