We learn that this flavor has its roots in Italy, from where it spread throughout the world to become one of the favorite "adult" flavors. Its secret lies in its brilliant simplicity: sweet, soft raisins soaked in rum, immersed in a delicate, creamy base, often vanilla-flavored. This combination of the fruity sweetness of the raisins, the deep aroma of rum, and the smoothness of the base creates an incredibly harmonious and luxurious composition.
But every ice cream maker who has tried to create this flavor knows that behind this simplicity lies a huge technical challenge. Alcohol. Rum is the enemy of freezing. Its addition drastically lowers the freezing point of the mix, which means the ice cream can be too soft, almost semi-liquid, at a standard display case temperature. So how do you add enough rum for the flavor to be distinct, while maintaining ideal plasticity and preventing a disaster?
