Delicious No-Churn Rum Raisin Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup dark rum (preferably Jamaican rum)
  • 1 cup raisins (preferably dark raisins)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Soak the Raisins

    In a bowl, combine raisins and dark rum. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes.

    Soaking enhances the flavor of the raisins.
  2. Prepare the Cream Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

    Do not overwhip; soft peaks give a creamy texture.
  3. Combine Ingredients

    Fold in sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon into the whipped cream.

    Fold gently to maintain the fluffiness of the cream.
  4. Add Raisins

    Incorporate the soaked raisins along with any remaining rum into the mixture.

    Make sure the raisins are evenly distributed.
  5. Freeze the Mixture

    Pour the mixture into a container and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until firm.

    Cover the container to prevent ice crystals from forming.

💡 Tips & Tricks

For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of condensed milk. Ensure the rum is of good quality for the best taste. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
