Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 3/4 cup erythritol
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup dark rum
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by infusing the raisins: Place the raisins in a small bowl and pour the rum over them. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour until plump.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

While the cream mixture is heating, place the egg yolks in a separate bowl and whisk until they are pale yellow and slightly thickened.

Step 4

Once the cream mixture is hot, slowly pour a half cup of it into the egg yolks while continuously whisking. This will temper the yolks and prevent them from scrambling.

Step 5

Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, stirring constantly.

Step 6

Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any curdled bits.

Step 8

Let the custard cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 9

Once chilled, stir in the rum-infused raisins, including any remaining rum.

Step 10

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 15-20 minutes, until it reaches the consistency of soft serve.

Step 11

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 12

Scoop and serve when ready, savoring the rich taste with the burst of rum-infused raisins.
