Date, Rum & Pecan Icecream

November 27-28, 2011
two batches of cupcakes in addition to and then this icecream. I was looking for an actual chocolate-less dessert equally I browsed through The Perfect Scoop, in addition to I picked this 1 because Michael's rather partial to rum in addition to raisin flavoured sweets. He pitched inwards past times bringing abode a modest bottle of Bundy Rum, a liquor best characterised past times Rich Hall, in addition to trashily appropriate since nosotros ended upward sharing the icecream alongside a bunch of Queenslanders.

Michael didn't convey abode equally much cream equally the recipe required, nonetheless I didn't endeavour whatever substitutes for it, thence this was a pretty intense dessert (the 3-scoop serving pictured higher upward would satisfy 2-3 people!). In item it was real boozy - if that's non your affair I'd advise soaking the dates equally directed (or replacing only about of the rum alongside water, perhaps) in addition to omitting the extra rum that goes into the custard. On this occasion it was my thing; I loved the agency the nighttime rum stretched into the rich caramel of the dates in addition to the yolk-heavy custard.
