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.
