Hot Buttered Rum

2 mugs of Hot Buttered Rum with cinnamon sticks on a plate
  • Serves:  24
  • Prep Time:  10 min
  • Cook Time:  5 min

Ingredients

  • 2 cups butter (4 sticks)
  • 2 cups dark brown sugar
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon, ground
  • 1 tsp nutmeg, ground
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp coconut flavoring, optional
  • 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened (preferably Tillamook Vanilla Bean)
  • dark rum for serving (1 oz per drink)

Method

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. When the butter is melted, add the dark brown sugar, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and coconut flavor, if using. Stir until just combined.
  2. Remove the pot from heat, and whisk in the vanilla ice cream. If the Ice cream is not soft enough, place it back over the heat and heat just until every thing is melted together and smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then pour the hot buttered rum batter into a freezer-safe container, seal, and freeze.

To make 1 serving of Hot Buttered Rum cocktail: Scoop 1/4 cup of frozen hot buttered rum batter into a mug. Add one ounce of rum, and top it all off with ½ cup of boiling water. Stir until well mixed, and finish with a dusting of nutmeg if desired.
