You just cant buy rum raisin ice cream with real rum flavour like homemade!
This recipe uses a tried-and-proven method using whipped cream and condensed milk, no ice cream maker required.
So easy its going to blow your mind!
Condensed milk is used in miracle no-churn ice cream
andJamaican Slaw(adore).
And here today with dessert rum raisin ice cream, the EASY way!!
But there are certain ice cream flavours that just dont translate well when produced on a mass scale.
Real fruit flavours, for one (likestrawberryandmango).
And real rum flavour.
Partially, I assume, because of regulations prohibiting the sale of booze-laden food in regular grocery stores.
I especially love the little chewy pops of rum soaked raisins!
An ice cream thats scoop-able and creamy, just like real ice cream!Skeptical?Dont blame you.
I use thickened cream (heavy cream) but any whipping cream works fine.
Condensed milk is used in miracle no-churn ice cream
(Low fat cream is not an option here, recipe wont work).
Condensed milk Sweetened milk sold in cans which has a syrupy consistency.
Find it in the long-life milk aisle.
Whipped cream is the other secret ingredient!
Rum Use a golden or dark (brown) rum, for colour and flavour.
Not a clear/white rum like Bacardi.
Non alcoholic option Use rum essence instead!
I like to sprinkle my rum raisin ice cream with chopped rum raisin chocolate.
I would soak the raisins in hot water + rum essence (to plump them up).
Then add rum essence into the ice cream mixture to taste.
you could just stir it in at the end add and taste, add and taste!
The ice cream texture will be fine.
Raisins Did the recipe name give it away?
Sultanas make a fine substitute.
If you chop the raisins and heat the rum, the raisins will absorb the rum faster. If you use whole raisins and cold rum, it’s best to leave overnight.
Allspice(oops, missing from the photo!)
For a hint of extra flavour.
But, it is optional.
Ready to see how easy it is?
Or do you already know because you discovered my no-churnStrawberry ice creamorMango ice cream??
Give the raisins a rough chop.
This helps them absorb the rum more easily.
The raisins should absorb most of the rum.
If theres any residual liquid, pour it off.
Condensed milk & flavours Beat together the condensed milk, vanilla and allspice powder, just to combine.
Just give it a quick wipe before whipping the cream.
Stir in raisins Add the rum soaked raisins and stir to mix through.
Whipcream until it is well whipped.
We are not looking for elegant softly whipped cream here.
We want good aeration!
More aeration = creamier ice cream!
Just gently mix the cream through until it is mostly incorporated.
Some lumps is fine.
Mix with cream Pour the condensed milk mixture into the cream them fold to combine until it is cream-lump-free.
Pourthe mixture into a glass or ceramic container that is at least 1.5 litres / 1.5 quarts.
Smooth the surface, pop a lid on or cover with cling wrap.
Prevent screen from sleeping
Freeze for 12 hours.
Then scoop and serve like normal ice cream!
This is the rum at work alcohol doesnt freeze solid.
The ice cream will keep in the freezer for months, just like real ice cream.
Lastly, just a note on the booziness of this ice cream!
Ordinarily my recipes that use alcohol will cook the alcohol out so its negligible in the finished dish.
But in rum raisin ice cream, it is not.
And thats just how we grown ups love it!
Rum raisin ice cream (easy, no ice cream maker!)
Life of Dozer
Definitely no rum and raisin ice cream for Dozer!
No booze, no dried fruit.
But he happily settled for a plain ice cream cone!
