Jamaican Rum and Raisin Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1 cup Raisins (Soak before adding to the ice cream)
• 0.5 cup White rum (For soaking the raisins)
• 0.5 cup Dark rum (For soaking the raisins)
• 3 cups Heavy whipping cream (Chilled before whipping)
• 0.5 tbsp Ground cinnamon (The source writes “½ tbsp”)
• 1 tsp Ground nutmeg
• 1 tbsp Vanilla extract (The source lists “Vanilla”; vanilla extract is assumed)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the raisins in a bowl or covered container. Add the white rum and dark rum, stir to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight so the raisins absorb the rum.

2. 2

   Drain the soaked raisins, reserving a small amount of the soaking liquid if desired for flavor. Pat the raisins lightly dry so excess liquid does not make the ice cream icy.

3. 3

   Pour the chilled heavy whipping cream into a large chilled bowl. Whip with a hand mixer or stand mixer until it reaches firm peaks; stop before the cream becomes grainy or turns into butter.

4. 4

   Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla to the whipped cream. Fold gently until the spices and vanilla are evenly distributed, taking care not to deflate the cream.

5. 5

   Fold the rum-soaked raisins into the cream mixture until evenly dispersed.

6. 6

   Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe loaf pan or airtight container. Cover the surface tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.

7. 7

   Let the ice cream stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping. Serve cold, optionally garnished with a few additional rum-soaked raisins or a light dusting of cinnamon.

Notes

The supplied description ends after the vanilla measurement and does not state a sweetener, condensed milk, egg base, or preparation method. The steps above are a cautious reconstruction of a likely no-churn method and should not be treated as fully source-confirmed. Because the listed cream has no sweetener, the finished ice cream may not be sweet enough; a complete tested version would ordinarily specify sugar or sweetened condensed milk. Alcohol will remain in the dessert because there is no cooking step.
