Remove from heat and add rum. To serve, put three rum-soaked raisins in a mug, pour in the cocoa mixture and top with cream that has been freshly whipped with a little rum.

RUM AND RAISIN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 or 10 inch tube pan.
• Boil water add rum and raisins. Melt butter and beat egg. Add to the raisin mixture.
• Sift flour, baking soda, cocoa, and sugar together. Stir into raisin mixture. Add chopped pecans and stir until just combined. If batter is too thick add a little more water. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 to 50 minutes. Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto a serving dish. Serve cake hot with custard or top cooled cake with whipped cream.

HOT CHOCOLATE WITH RUM

• In a medium saucepan, combine the milk with the cream and rum and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Remove the pan from the heat, add the chocolate and let stand until melted.
• Whisk until smooth, pour into warmed mugs and serve.

RUM RAISIN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
• Combine the raisins and rum in a small bowl; set aside to soak.
• Heat the whipping cream in a small pot over medium-low heat until hot, but do not allow to boil. Remove from heat and stir the chocolate chips into the hot cream until completely melted. Set aside to cool.
• Sift the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and cinnamon together into a bowl. Beat the eggs into the flour mixture individually; mix gently. Stir the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture until incorporated. Fold the raisins, any remaining rum, and the pecans into the batter; spread into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes.

ICE CREAM WITH RUM-RAISIN SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar and corn syrup. Set over medium-low heat. Stir until well combined and sugar has melted, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and add butter, rum, and raisins, stirring until butter has completely melted. Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature over the ice cream.

COCONUT, RUM & RAISIN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• For the rum & raisin syrup, tip all the ingredients into a large saucepan and heat gently over a low heat for 5 mins, or until the sugar has dissolved and created a syrup and the raisins have plumped up. Tip into a bowl, cover and set aside.
• In the same saucepan (there's no need to clean it) melt the butter over a medium heat until sizzling, then scatter over the rice and toast in the hot butter until the butter is just starting to brown. Stir in the sugar, then pour over the coconut milk, cream and vanilla. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook gently for 40-45 mins until the rice is tender, adding a splash more cream if it becomes too thick.
• To serve hot, stir a third of the rum & raisin syrup through the pudding and spoon the rest over the top. To serve cold, leave the pudding to cool, then chill in the fridge to firm up so that you can serve it in scoops with the rum & raisin syrup spooned over.
