Nothing compares to savouring a scoop of ice cream with raisins and rum. For a delightful twist, the thick, velvety vanilla ice cream base is infused with rum-spiked raisins.
It’s similar to being able to eat and drink cocktails!There are two methods to incorporate rum in this variation of rum raisin ice cream.
The ice cream base itself contains a small amount of alcohol; too much would cause the ice cream to set improperly in the freezer due to its lower freezing point.
The remaining black rum is used to plump the raisins, adding even more rum flavour. All that is needed to get the dried fruit to absorb the liquid is a little hob heat and some time to sit.
Ingredients
- A dozen big egg yolks
- two and a third cups sugar
- Two cups of thick cream for whipping
- two glasses of milk
- One tablespoon of real vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of black rum, split
- two cups of dark raisins
Steps to Make It
01: Gather the Ingredients
02: Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar in a large saucepan.
03: Whisk in the milk and heavy cream gradually. After the mixture begins to gradually thicken, reduce the heat to low and keep whisking. Avoid boiling. After taking the custard off the stove, let it cool.
04: Add 1/4 cup of the rum and the vanilla extract and stir. Let cool fully.
05: Transfer the custard base into a tightly sealed receptacle and allow it to rest in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours prior to stirring.
06: In a small saucepan, mix the raisins and the remaining cup of rum before churning. Set on low heat for five minutes.
Take off the heat source and let it cool down fully. (The majority or all of the rum will be absorbed by plump raisins).
07: When the ice cream is ready to be made, churn it as directed by the maker.
08: Add the plumped and cooled rum raisins to the machine and churn for about 15 minutes.
09: The churned ice cream should be spooned into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least two to four hours, or until set.
10: After scooping, serve!
Raw Egg Warning

Tips For Making Rum Raisin Ice Cream
The majority of home-use ice cream machines include bowls that must be placed in the freezer for an entire night prior to churning the ice cream. The walls of these bowls are double-insulated, with coolants positioned between them.
When the time comes to churn the ice cream, you take the bowl out of the freezer, set it up with the dasher, lock it in place, and pour in the prepared ice cream mixture. After that, the motor is turned on, and the churning starts.
Churning and ripening are the two steps involved in freezing handmade ice cream. The cold custard base will become looser and more soft-serve-like once it has been churned.
The ice cream now needs to go through a process called ripening in order to reach a scoopable consistency.
Once the product has ripened, the flavour becomes more concentrated, and it melts more slowly.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe, airtight container and place it in the freezer for a minimum of two to four hours or even overnight. The wait is worthwhile!
