How to Make Bubblegum Cloud Slices

Step 1: Mix the Base

• In a big bowl, add the marshmallow fluff and bubblegum syrup.
• Use an electric mixer and blend them well. Keep mixing until the mixture feels light and fluffy. Make sure everything is combined smoothly, with no lumps.

Step 2: Add Sugar and Flavoring

• Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing as you go, until the dough becomes thick and bendable.
• Then, mix in the vanilla extract along with a drop of pink food coloring. This step gives the dough its distinctive bubblegum color.

Step 3: Shape the Mixture

• Take a baking dish and line it with parchment paper. Then, sprinkle a small amount of cornstarch over the parchment paper.
• Next, pour the mixture into the dish. Make sure to spread it so it covers the entire surface of the dish. After that, use a tool like a spatula to even out the top, making it nice and smooth.

Step 4: Chill and Slice

• Place the dish in the refrigerator and leave it there for at least 1 hour so that it gets firm.
• After it has firmed up, take it out of the dish, and cut it into small, bite-sized cloud slices that are easy to eat.

Step 5: Store and Enjoy

• To keep the slices soft, put them in a container with a good seal.
• You can enjoy the slices as a snack on their own, or make desserts more exciting by using them as a topping!
