Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 2 cups Almond milk
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Chopped toasted almonds
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the raisins and dark rum. Allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavor.
In a blender, combine almond milk, low-fat Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes.
During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the soaked raisins (including leftover rum) and chopped toasted almonds.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Once set, remove the ice cream from the freezer about 5 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly. Serve and enjoy!
