No-Churn Rum Raisin Ice Cream Recipe - Authentic Jamaican Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup dark rum (preferably Jamaican rum)
  • 1 cup raisins (preferably dark raisins)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly grated if possible)
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Raisins

    Soak the raisins in dark rum for at least 1 hour to plump them up.

    For best results, soak overnight.
  2. Whip the Cream

    In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

    Chill the bowl and beaters for easier whipping.
  3. Combine Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, soaked raisins, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

    Ensure the raisins are well-drained before adding.
  4. Fold in the Cream

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until well combined.

    Use a spatula to avoid deflating the whipped cream.
  5. Freeze the Mixture

    Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until solid.

    For a creamier texture, stir the mixture every 2 hours while freezing.
