Value making: rum raisin ice cream
Lately you may truly get fairly good high quality ice cream on the grocery retailer, although you do pay by means of the nostril for it. However there are particular ice cream flavours that simply don’t translate nicely when produced on a mass scale. Actual fruit flavours, for one (like strawberry and mango).
And actual rum flavour. Partially, I assume, due to laws prohibiting the sale of actual booze-laden meals in common grocery shops.
So should you’ve solely ever had retailer purchased rum raisin ice cream, the flavour on this selfmade one goes to knock your socks off. I particularly love the little chewy pops of rum soaked raisins!
In regards to the no-churn ice cream technique
This ice cream recipe makes use of a miracle no-ice-cream-maker technique that’s been round for many years! It makes use of fluffy whipped cream which replicates the impact of incorporating air into conventional ice cream by churning in an ice cream maker. In the meantime, the condensed milk provides sweetness in addition to stopping the combination from freezing right into a block of ice.
The end result? An ice cream that’s scoop-able and creamy, identical to actual ice cream! Skeptical? Don’t blame you. Learn glowing opinions right here and right here!
What’s the distinction to utilizing an ice cream maker? The melted ice cream is a bit richer (creamier) as a result of no-churn ice cream is made utilizing cream as the bottom whereas conventional ice cream is made with milk and egg. Hardly a “unfavorable”! You’ll be able to see the drips on the ice cream on the high of the submit are thicker than conventional ice cream.
Substances in rum raisin ice cream
Right here’s what it is advisable make this unbelievable rum raisin ice cream:
-
Cream – Simply abnormal whipping cream. I exploit thickened cream (heavy cream) however any whipping cream works fantastic. (Low fats cream just isn’t an possibility right here, recipe received’t work).
The aeration within the whipped cream replicates the impact of churning with an ice cream maker which is named for with conventional ice cream recipes.
-
Condensed milk – Sweetened milk offered in cans which has a syrupy consistency. Discover it within the long-life milk aisle. This provides sweetness into the ice cream and prevents the combination from freezing right into a block of ice, preserving the combination scoop ready like actual ice cream!
-
Rum – Use a golden or darkish (brown) rum, for color and flavour. Not a transparent/white rum like Bacardi. I exploit Appleton Property (pictured above) which is an efficient Jamaican made rum model obtainable right here in Australia. However any rum will work right here, even a cost-effective one (we’re not doing photographs right here, it’s combined with different flavours, so it’s okay!).
-
Raisins – Did the recipe title give it away? 😂 Sultanas make a fantastic substitute. Different dried fruit, like cranberries, cherries, even chopped dates, will work fantastic too in its place.
-
Allspice – For a touch of additional flavour. I attempted it with and with out (I do know, my job, it’s so onerous….) and only a little bit of spicing makes it even higher! However, it’s optionally available.
-
Vanilla – For flavour.
The best way to make rum raisin ice cream
Ahh, the magic of this no-churn ice cream technique!!! Able to see how simple it’s? Or do you already know since you found my no-churn Strawberry ice cream or Mango ice cream??
-
Soak raisins – Soaking raisins in rum is vital not just for nice rum flavour but additionally as a result of the rum stops the raisins from freezing into mini ice cubes.
Give the raisins a tough chop. This helps them take up the rum extra simply. Break them up together with your fingers (they’re typically packed collectively tightly within the luggage) then soak in sizzling rum for half-hour.
The raisins ought to take up many of the rum. If there’s any residual liquid, pour it off. You wish to restrict the whole liquid rum within the ice cream combination to 1/4 cup (60 ml) complete. Any greater than this and the ice cream received’t set sufficient as a result of rum doesn’t freeze as a result of excessive alcohol content material. Sure, I did trial and error to determine the utmost quantity of rum I may get into the ice cream!!
-
Condensed milk & flavours – Beat collectively the condensed milk, vanilla and allspice powder, simply to mix. You don’t really need a beater for this step, I simply do as a result of I’ve bought the beater out anyway. Simply give it a fast wipe earlier than whipping the cream.
-
Stir in raisins – Add the rum soaked raisins and stir to combine by means of.
-
Whip cream till it’s nicely whipped. It would take about 2 1/2 to three minutes with a handheld beater, or 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on excessive with a stand mixer. We aren’t in search of elegant softly whipped cream right here. We wish good aeration! (However not butter, which is what you’ll find yourself with at in regards to the 8 minute mark, so cease earlier than then! 😂)
-
Lighten condensed milk – Add an enormous scoop of whipped cream into the condensed milk combination then fold by means of with a rubber spatula or massive scooping spoon. The aim of this step is to loosen up the condensed milk combination earlier than mixing all of it into the cream to take care of as a lot aeration within the cream as we are able to. Extra aeration = creamier ice cream!
Simply gently combine the cream by means of till it’s principally included. Some lumps is okay.
-
Combine with cream – Pour the condensed milk combination into the cream them fold to mix till it’s cream-lump-free.
Be mild right here, don’t combine vigorously, as we wish to protect as a lot of the aeration within the cream as we are able to. To assist take away cream lumps, “smear” seen cream bits throughout the floor or towards the aspect of the bowl relatively than vigorously stirring.
-
Pour the combination right into a glass or ceramic container that’s not less than 1.5 litres / 1.5 quarts. I exploit a 1.75 litre / 1.75 quart glass loaf pan (28 x 15 x 7.5cm / 11 x 6 x 3″).
Clean the floor, pop a lid on or cowl with cling wrap.
-
Freeze for 12 hours. Then scoop and serve like regular ice cream!
You’ll be able to principally scoop it straight out of the freezer, you don’t want to depart it out even for a minute earlier than scooping. That is the rum at work – alcohol doesn’t freeze strong. So, as famous above, truly my largest “problem” on this recipe was determining how I can max out rum flavour with out the ice cream ending up like a slushy! (The reply is mirrored within the recipe 😂)
Serve in cones or in bowls, as many or as little scoops as you want.
The ice cream will maintain within the freezer for months, identical to “actual” ice cream. It does freeze just a little firmer from day 3 and past, it solely requires a couple of minutes on the counter earlier than scooping.
Lastly, only a word on the booziness of this ice cream! Although the quantity of rum per serving just isn’t that a lot (3/4 cup in complete), let’s maintain this one away from children and pooches. Ordinarily my recipes that use alcohol will cook dinner the alcohol out so it’s negligible within the completed dish. However in rum raisin ice cream, it isn’t. And that’s simply how we grown ups find it irresistible! – Nagi x
