Directions

Place the raisins in a bowl, cover with the rum and leave to soak until required.

Meanwhile, blend the custard powder with 2 tablespoons of the milk.

Warm the remaining milk in a saucepan. Whisk in the custard mixture until thoroughly mixed and continue to whisk over a moderate heat until the custard thickens.

Remove the pan from the heat and sweeten to taste with the artificial sweetener.

Cover with damp greaseproof paper to prevent a skin forming and set aside to cool.

Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cooled custard. Turn into a 900ml (1½ pint) shallow freezerproof container and freeze, uncovered, for 2 hours.

Scrape the mixture into a blender or food processor and process well.

Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cherries, raisins and rum, and nuts.

Return to the container or a bombe mould, cover and freeze for at least 4 hours until solid.

Remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow to stand for at least 10 minutes before serving.
