Ingredients

  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream , softened
  • 16 ounces butter softened, unsalted
  • 1 pound powdered sugar
  • 1 pound brown sugar , packed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Set the ice cream out to soften for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until fluffy. Add the softened ice cream and beat until mixed. Transfer to a container with a lid and freeze.
  2. To serve, thaw the butter mixture slightly. Place 3 tablespoons of the mix into a glass mug with 1 ½ ounces of rum (1 large jigger) and fill the rest of the glass with hot boiled water. Stir well and top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg, and a cinnamon stick.

Notes

  • Prepare the buttered rum base in advance and store in the freezer for up to three months to save time on serving day.
  • Omit the rum to create a warm, spiced mocktail alternative.
  • Use freshly boiled water to ensure the drink is served hot and the sugars dissolve fully.
  • Whipped cream topping and a cinnamon stick add both visual appeal and flavor depth upon serving.
