The Ultimate Ultra-Creamy Rum and Raisin Ninja Creami (Malaga)
An ultra-creamy, boozy rum and raisin dessert (also known across Europe as Malaga) in freezing cold ice cream form. Using the Ninja Creami turns this high-protein mix of milk, vanilla whey, dark rum, and plump raisins into a rich, velvety treat. It took a few attempts in our test kitchen to balance the spirit and base, but we got it down to a science so it tastes like a premium pub classic rather than a chalky shaker cup supplement.
Why this The Ultimate Ultra-Creamy Rum and Raisin Ninja Creami (Malaga) recipe works
Creamy Whey Trick: Whey protein naturally binds the liquid. When the Creami blade shaves through the frozen block, it blocks the ice from clustering, giving you a dense, velvety mouthfeel without needing heavy dairy cream.
Plump Fruit Secret: Soaking the raisins in dark rum plumps them up and locks the intense boozy flavour deep inside the fruit, releasing a burst of classic sweetness as you eat

How to make The Ultimate Ultra-Creamy Rum and Raisin Ninja Creami (Malaga)
Place the raisins in a small bowl and pour over a splash of dark rum. Let them soak for about half an hour to plump up.
Pour the milk, vanilla whey, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a small splash of dark rum for the base into a blender. Whisk or shake thoroughly until completely smooth with no lumps.
Pour the blended mix into your pint, making sure you stay below the max fill line.
Slide it onto a flat shelf in your freezer and leave it for a full day. If it freezes at an angle, it can wreck your machine.
Lock your frozen pint into the outer bowl and attach the lid.
Run the lite ice cream program.
If the top looks a bit powdery or crumbly, do not panic. Splash a tablespoon of milk in, pop it back in, and run a re-spin to get that ultra-smooth finish.
If you want a bit of texture, poke a hole down the middle, toss in your rum-soaked raisins (draining any excess liquid first), and run the mix-in cycle. Grab a spoon and eat it straight away.
Variations and combinations of ingredients
Spiced Rum: Swap the dark rum for a heavily spiced rum to add notes of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg.
Nutty Addition: Fold in crushed walnuts alongside the raisins during the mix-in phase for extra crunch.
How to serve
Sweet Fuel: Spot-on macros disguised as a premium dessert.
Late-Night Fix: Highly satiating to kill evening cravings while enjoying a classic pub-style flavour.
The Easy Macro Win
Macro-Friendly Classic: Get proper old-school pub dessert satisfaction with a massive protein hit and negligible fat.
Full Control: You decide exactly how sweet and rich to make it. Ideal when you are on a strict fat loss phase.
Natural Softener: The dark rum behaves like a natural antifreeze, stopping the base from freezing rock solid while delivering authentic flavour.
Creami Mechanics
Level Freezing: You must freeze the pint on a completely flat surface. If it freezes at an angle, the blade will carve into the plastic and cause serious damage.
The Re-Spin Trick: Low-fat and high-protein bases almost always come out looking like chalky snow on the first spin. Splash a spoonful of extra milk in, run a re-spin, and watch it turn into gelato.
Rum Texture Trick: The little splash of dark rum in the base actually lowers the freezing temperature. This naturally stops it from turning into a solid block of ice, making it much softer and easier to scoop.
Raisin Fold: Poke a hole down the middle of the pint after spinning, drop in your rum-soaked raisins, and hit the mix-in button to fold them through evenly.
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
Enjoy this straight out of the pint. Perfect on a weekend evening.
