Hey there, ice cream lovers! 🍦 Ready to whip up some super cool Rum Raisin Ice Cream?
It’s like your fave classic ice cream, but with a grown-up twist! Let’s get scooping!
What You’ll Need:
- 1/2 cup raisins (the magic ingredient 🧙)
- 1/4 cup dark rum (yep, the real deal)
- 2 cups heavy cream (for that creamy goodness)
- 1 cup whole milk (keeping it rich)
1 cup whole milk (keeping it rich)
3/4 cup sugar (sweet, sweet sugar)
5 large egg yolks (we’re getting fancy now)
Soak those Raisins:1.Pop the raisins in a bowl and pour the rum over them. Let them soak up all that yummy rum for at least an hour. If you’ve got time, leave them overnight. The longer, the better!
Mix the Creamy Base:
2.In a medium saucepan, mix together the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat it up over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it’s hot but not boiling.
Egg Yolks Time:
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly, like super slowly, pour in a little of the hot cream mixture while whisking. This keeps the eggs from scrambling. Once it’s mixed, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream. Keep cooking over low heat,
Vanilla and Chill:
Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and let the mixture cool. Once it’s cool, cover it and stick it in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
Let’s Get Churnin’:
Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When it’s almost done, toss in those rum-soaked raisins, and let them mix in.
Freeze It Up:
Transfer the ice cream to a container, cover it up, and freeze until firm. Try to resist sneaking spoonfuls!
Scoop and Enjoy:
Serve your homemade Rum Raisin Ice Cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy that creamy, boozy goodness!
Pro Tips:
- No Ice Cream Maker? No worries! Just pour the mixture into a shallow dish, freeze, and stir every 30 minutes until it’s creamy.
- Extra Rummy? Add an extra splash of rum to the ice cream before freezing for a stronger flavor.
Now you’ve got the coolest ice cream in town, perfect for a sweet treat anytime! 🍨✨
