Rum and Raisin Ice Cream

This is so simple to make and tastes soo good!

Ingredients

• Handful of raisins (about 100 - 200g)
• 100ml dark rum
• 4 egg yolks
• 60ml (1/4 cup) golden syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 20ml (1 tbs) treacle
• 600ml thick cream

Method

1. Place raisins and rum in a pan and bring to the boil then allow to cool and macerate.
2. Place egg yolks, golden syrup, vanilla extract and treacle in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for five minutes until thick. Add cream and beat for two minutes. Place in a plastic container in the freezer for 45 minutes until beginning to harden. Fold through rum and raisins until well combined, then freeze until firm.

It's not in the original recipe, but a good thing to do is add a splash of rum essence to the actual icecream mixture, so that most of the flavour isn't in just the raisins.
