Easy Rum Raisin Ice Cream Recipes

EASY RUM RAISIN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the raisins in a small bowl, pour on the rum, cover with plastic wrap, and allow the raisins to steep overnight.
• The next day, remove ice cream from freezer and allow to stand at room temperature until the ice cream is softened but not melting, about 15 minutes. Scoop the ice cream into a large bowl, and stir in the rum-soaked raisins, any extra rum in the bowl, and nutmeg until the ice cream is well mixed. The rum will soften the ice cream and make mixing easier.
• Pack the flavored ice cream back into the carton and refreeze until needed, at least 1/2 hour.

SUSAN'S RUM RAISIN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• 1. Place raisins, rum, water, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small saucepan. Heat almost to boiling, remove from heat, stir well and refrigerate 1-2 hours or overnight.
• 2. In a medium bowl, using a whisk, combine milk, sugar and salt until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours, or overnight. Do this at the same time as the raisins.
• 3. To make ice cream: Turn on the Cuisinart ice cream maker; pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. About 5 minutes before mixing is completed, add the reserved rum raisins and let mix in completely.
• 4. If you have a different type of ice cream freezer, follow manufacturer's directions for freezing and adding fruit. I used mixed Jumbo raisins for my recipe. They are made from white, red, and purple grapes, and are larger than regular raisins.
• 5. Ice cream will be of soft-serve consistency when finished. For firmer ice cream, remove to a freezer container and freeze for 1-2 hours. Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.

RUM AND RAISIN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the raisins in a container with the rum, ensuring all the raisins are covered. Let them soak for 8 hours or overnight.
• Combine the cream, vanilla and milk in a saucepan. Bring to the boil then remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks, until the mixture has gone pale in colour and doubled in size.
• Temper hot milk into the sugar yolk mixture, by slowly adding hot milk about 60ml (1/4 cup) at a time, whisking to distribute heat. Once all the milk has been added, transfer mixture back into the saucepan.
• Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until mixture reaches nappé consistency, or 80°C (180°F) on a kitchen thermometer. Let mixture sit at this temperature for 5 minutes to pasteurise the eggs.
• Remove from heat and pour the custard into a large mixing bowl. Place the bowl into icy water and stir until the custard has cooled.
• Pour the custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to your unit's instructions.
• After 30 minutes of mixing, add just the rum soaked raisins, plus 15ml (1 tbsp) of the rum to the ice cream. Continue churning until done.
• Transfer the ice cream to a sealable container and freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight.

RUM RAISIN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place raisins in a small bowl and cover with rum. Set aside.
• Prepare vanilla pudding mix according to package directions, using eggnog in place of the milk. Stir in the heavy cream. Chill in refrigerator until quite cold.
• Freeze eggnog mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. Stir in drained raisins just before ice cream begins to set. When ice cream is done, pack in a container and place in the freezer for 3 hours before serving.

RUM AND RAISIN ICE CREAM

• Combine raisins, rum and vanilla extract in small bowl; cover and stand overnight.
• Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly; pour into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions.
