Rum Raisin Ice Cream - with egg yolks (custard based). Lots of rum, doesn't melt quickly!

Get ready for a seriously adult treat! Our Rum Raisin Ice Cream is not for the faint-hearted. We lots of dark rum along with gelatine to ensure that this ice cream takes in as much rum as possible. While gelatine may not be commonly used in ice cream, it is the secret ingredient that allows this dessert to churn to its fullest potential without being compromised by the high rum content. The raisins soak overnight in rum, becoming little pockets of flavour that burst with every bite.
