Method
Preparation
- Place the raisins in a small bowl and pour the Caribbean rum over them. Cover the bowl and let the raisins soak for at least 2 hours (overnight for deeper flavor).
Prepare the Custard
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and kosher salt. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until warm and sugar dissolves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until smooth and pale. Slowly pour about 1 cup of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly.
- Gradually add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Stir constantly over medium-low heat until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove custard from heat and stir in remaining Caribbean rum and ground nutmeg. Let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or until completely chilled.
Churn and Freeze
- Churn the chilled custard in the ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions. In the last 5 minutes of churning, add the rum-soaked raisins.
- Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. Scoop into bowls and enjoy.
Notes
For best results, soak raisins long enough to ensure they’re plump and well-infused with rum. Store the ice cream in an airtight container for up to one month.
