Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups heavy cream

3. Once the mixture has cooled, pour it into the bowl of an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

4. When the ice cream is almost done churning, add the bubblegum pieces and continue churning until they are evenly distributed.
