Description

Rum Raisin Ice Cream is a rich and creamy homemade frozen treat infused with the warm flavors of Caribbean rum and plump, sweet raisins. This custard-based ice cream delivers a smooth texture with a hint of nutmeg and a boozy kick, making it a gourmet dessert perfect for special occasions or indulgent cravings.

Ingredients

For the Rum-Soaked Raisins:

  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup Caribbean rum

For the Ice Cream:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons Caribbean rum
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 batch of rum-soaked raisins (from above)

Instructions

Prepare the Rum-Soaked Raisins:

  1. In a small bowl, combine raisins and rum.
  2. Stir, cover, and let soak for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Make the Ice Cream Base:

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat heavy cream, milk, sugar, and salt over medium heat until warm (do not boil).
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until smooth.
  3. Gradually add a small amount of the warm mixture to the yolks while whisking.
  4. Slowly pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan, whisking constantly.

Cook the Custard:

  1. Stir continuously over medium heat until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 170°F/77°C). Do not boil.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in rum and nutmeg.
  3. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Churn the Ice Cream:

  1. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. When the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, fold in the rum-soaked raisins.

Freeze and Serve:

  1. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours.
  2. Scoop and enjoy!

Notes

  • Soak raisins overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Strain custard before chilling for a smoother texture.
  • Let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
