Ingredients
- 60 ml Dark rum
- 100 g Raisins
- 500 ml Skimmed milk
- 1.5 tbsp Cornstarch
- 80 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 200 g Low-fat Greek yogurt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the raisins in dark rum. Allow them to sit for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to absorb the rum.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine 400 ml of skimmed milk and sugar. Warm over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, stirring occasionally. Don't let it come to a boil.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 100 ml of skimmed milk with cornstarch until smooth.
Step 4
Add the cornstarch mixture to the warm milk and sugar mixture in the saucepan. Continue cooking over medium heat while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then gently whisk in the low-fat Greek yogurt until you reach a smooth consistency.
Step 7
Strain the rum-soaked raisins, reserving the rum. Incorporate the raisins into the milk mixture.
Step 8
Refrigerate the ice cream base for at least 2 hours until completely chilled.
Step 9
Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 10
When the ice cream is nearly finished churning, pour in the reserved rum and continue to churn until the alcohol is fully incorporated.
Step 11
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
