Rum and Raisin Ice Cream Recipe
This deliciously boozy rum ice cream recipe works a treat. With limited good-quality versions of this ice cream in supermarket freezers, it’s a must-try dessert.
Rum is especially good at making a creamy, delicious ice cream base. Add some raisins and you have a winning dessert every time.

One of the first ice creams I made was black beer ice cream. If you enjoy beer you need to try this recipe. Otherwise, this red wine sorbet is sure to please.
Rum and Raisin Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 cup raisins
- 100 ml dark rum
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1 cup full cream milk
- 1/4 cup golden syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place raisins and rum in a pan and bring to the boil then allow to cool.
- Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a small bowl until pale in colour, set aside.
- Add cream and milk to large saucepan and heat on high until simmering. Remove from heat and slowly add 1 cup of heated milk to the egg yolks, all the while whisking the yolks.
- Slowly pour yolk mixture, golden syrup, and vanilla into a saucepan of milk and continue heating on medium heat until ice cream base thickens. You'll know the base is ready when it coats the back of a spoon.
- Stir in raisins and rum until combined.
- Allow ice cream base to cool in the fridge overnight or for at least 3 hours.
- Add base to ice cream maker and churn. Once complete, add to a container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours until hardened.
Excellant recipe, I added the rum and raisins at the last 15minutes of churning. Tastes great when freshly made and develops even better after a couple days.
Thanks for sharing Mark.
I should have saved the rains until last, my machine couldn’t cope.
I was disappointed as it seemed less than ice cream more like cold custard texture.
Perhaps me.
