Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup Rum
• 1 cup Raisins
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, soak 1 cup of raisins in 1/4 cup of rum for at least 1 hour or overnight to allow the raisins to absorb the rum flavors.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of heavy cream and 1 cup of whole milk. Stir occasionally and heat until the mixture is hot, but not boiling.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 3/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until smooth and pale.

Step 4

Slowly add the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.

Step 5

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. Do not let it boil.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of vanilla protein powder until fully dissolved and integrated.

Step 7

Set the bowl over an ice bath and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Once cooled, strain the rum-soaked raisins and fold them into the custard mixture, reserving the rum.

Step 9

Pour the reserved rum into the custard mixture and mix thoroughly.

Step 10

Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until completely chilled.

Step 11

Once chilled, pour the custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 12

Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2 hours or until firm before serving.
