FAQs

A: No. Regular chewing gum will be too soft and sticky. Use gumballs or candy that stays firm in the freezer.
Q: Can I make this dairy-free?

Q: How long before it is firm enough to scoop?
A: About 3 hours in the freezer will firm it. Overnight is best for a fully set texture.
Q: Can I add mix-ins like chocolate chips?
