Coffee-infused raisins with chocolate chip ice creams

Bombastic though the name is, the recipe is very simple. It's all about using the basic ice cream recipe, then after beating the cream and adding the condensed milk, just add:

1) 1/2 cup of raisins infused in 1/2 up of coffee
2) 1 tbsp of coffee (soaking liquid reserved from raisins)
3) 1 tsp rum (to counter the coffee liquid becoming ice)

After the mixture has frozen for 3 hours, use a fork to break up the big chunks of ice. Repeat again 3 hours late. This is to mix up the raisins which would otherwise have sunk to the bottom of the container.

My chocolate still seized up to become chocolate 'chips'. This time I was careful to use a metal spoon rather than a wooden one, which could have moisture inside, one of the leading reasons of causing chocolate seize up. I was also careful to microwave the chocolate in short bursts to prevent burning. I learnt from surfing that I should not have used chocolate buttons, which has a very low chocolate percentage!
