Easy Christmas Dessert

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pints good quality vanilla ice cream 
• 1/2 cup dark rum
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup crumbled Amaretti cookies

Directions

Let the ice cream soften at room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients.

Mince the raisins and soak them in the rum for at least 1 hour.

Whip the cream with a whisk in a metal bowl until it holds a definite shape. Fold the rum-raisin mixture and the Amaretti cookies into the whipped cream.

Gradually stir the whipped cream mixture into the ice cream. Spoon this into 6 pretty glasses or dessert dishes and place in the freezer until firm. Decorate with additional Amaretti crumbs.
