Rum N Raisin Ice Cream Sandwich Food

RUM AND RAISIN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the raisins in a container with the rum, ensuring all the raisins are covered. Let them soak for 8 hours or overnight.
• Combine the cream, vanilla and milk in a saucepan. Bring to the boil then remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks, until the mixture has gone pale in colour and doubled in size.
• Temper hot milk into the sugar yolk mixture, by slowly adding hot milk about 60ml (1/4 cup) at a time, whisking to distribute heat. Once all the milk has been added, transfer mixture back into the saucepan.
• Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until mixture reaches nappé consistency, or 80°C (180°F) on a kitchen thermometer. Let mixture sit at this temperature for 5 minutes to pasteurise the eggs.
• Remove from heat and pour the custard into a large mixing bowl. Place the bowl into icy water and stir until the custard has cooled.
• Pour the custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to your unit's instructions.
• After 30 minutes of mixing, add just the rum soaked raisins, plus 15ml (1 tbsp) of the rum to the ice cream. Continue churning until done.
• Transfer the ice cream to a sealable container and freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight.

EASY RUM RAISIN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the raisins in a small bowl, pour on the rum, cover with plastic wrap, and allow the raisins to steep overnight.
• The next day, remove ice cream from freezer and allow to stand at room temperature until the ice cream is softened but not melting, about 15 minutes. Scoop the ice cream into a large bowl, and stir in the rum-soaked raisins, any extra rum in the bowl, and nutmeg until the ice cream is well mixed. The rum will soften the ice cream and make mixing easier.
• Pack the flavored ice cream back into the carton and refreeze until needed, at least 1/2 hour.

RICH RUM & RAISIN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put the raisins in a bowl, add the rum, and stir together. Let soak for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed.
• Meanwhile, pour the cream into a heavy pan. Split open the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds into the cream, then add the whole vanilla bean. Bring almost to a boil, then remove from the heat and let stand for 30 minutes.
• Put the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl and whisk together until pale and the mixture leaves a trail when the whisk is lifted. Remove the vanilla bean from the cream and then gradually add the cream to the egg mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
• Strain the mixture into the rinsed-out pan or a double boiler and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the wooden spoon. Do not let the mixture boil or it will curdle. Remove the custard from the heat and let cool for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
• If using an ice-cream machine, churn the cold custard in the machine following the manufacturer's instructions. Just before the ice cream freezes, add the soaked raisins.
• Alternatively, freeze the custard in a freezerproof container, uncovered, for 1-2 hours, or until it begins to set around the edges. Turn the custard into a bowl and stir with a fork or beat in a food processor until smooth. Fold in the soaked raisins. Return to the freezer and freezer for 2-3 hours more, or until firm or required. Cover the container with a lid for storing.

• Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and place over low heat.
• Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until the custard thickens slightly (be careful not to let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble).
• Remove from the heat and pour the hot custard through a strainer into a large, clean bowl.
• Let the custard cool slightly, then stir in the raisins, rum, and cream; cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight.
• Stir the chilled custard, then freeze in 1 or 2 batches in your ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.
