Rum isn’t just for drinking, you know? And these rum desserts are the proof.
When it comes to tropical or strong fruity drinks, you’ll almost always find a little rum in the mix
.
But there’s a lot you can do with rum beyond standard rum cake, rum raisin ice cream, and Foster bananas
. Some of the recipes
on this list are things I would never have thought of trying to do if I hadn’t found the recipes first.
However, once I tried some of them, I knew I had to put together a list of rum desserts because they were too good not to share.
Enjoy!
1. Rum
cake If you’re going to make rum cake, you
could also make the best, wettest and butteriest rum cake out there, and this recipe will help you do just that.
The rum cake itself is delicious, but the butter and rum sauce is what really sets it apart from other pastries, And you will do it with four simple ingredients: butter, water, sugar and rum.
Once the cake is ready, you will poke holes in it and fill them with the butter and rum sauce
.
Then, you will pour even more on top. It’s unimaginably incredible.
Arabic numeral. Grilled pineapple
Grilled
pineapple would make any beach bums proud. It’s the most summery dessert you’ve ever tasted.
Plus, it’s not that bad for you either, especially if you give up vanilla ice cream. (Trust me, I’m not advocating that. It’s a delight!)
Just make sure you give the pineapples enough time to marinate, and don’t forget the rum sauce.
As long as you do those two things correctly, you really can’t go wrong.
3. Apple Rum Raisin Bread Pudding
If you are looking for a hearty and comforting dessert that feels like coming home, you should try apple rum raisin bread pudding
.
The rind is warm and thick, the cream is perfectly seasoned, the apples are sweet and sour and those rum-soaked raisins tie it all together
.
This is a dessert that is very hard to beat
.
4. Bananas Foster
You can do this simple 15-minute treatment with just seven ingredients. The bananas are sweet and tender, and the buttery rum sauce is exquisite.
Place a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and enjoy!
5. All
you will need to make this soft and ultra-creamy and velvety rum raisin ice cream are raisins, rum, rum flavoring, heavy cream, condensed milk and
vanilla extract.
The light flavor of vanilla manifests itself strongly, but every time you bite into one of those delicious rum-soaked raisins, you’ll get a burst of rich flavor
.

. Chocolate and coconut rum balls
If you’re looking for something sweet, easy, and tasty that melts in your mouth, these coconut and chocolate rum balls are just what you need
.
You don’t have to cook with them. In fact, you don’t even have to heat anything or melt any chocolate! Sounds too good to be true, right?
It’s not. You can prepare a whole batch of these chocolate and coconut delicacies in just 20 minutes with a minimum amount of work.
7. Mojito Cupcakes
If you prefer your desserts to have an explosion of spicy and slightly sour flavor, then you will go crazy for these mojito cupcakes
.
Don’t worry though; Between rum, sugar, and vanilla, there’s also enough subtle sweetness to satisfy your sugar cravings
.
8. Spiced Banana Rum Cake
This
divine cake is like carrot cake, only made with bananas soaked in rum
.
Between sultanas, walnuts, cream cheese glaze and numerous spices, it will be difficult to find anyone who does not appreciate this dense and humid masterpiece
.
9. Butter
and rum sauce Whether you need it
for a dessert that requires it or just like to spread it on your toast, homemade butter and rum sauce is quick and easy to make
.
You’ll only need butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, dark rum, and sea salt in flakes. You can have it ready in 10 minutes or less.
10. Caramelized rum Bananas and ice cream
This four-ingredient dessert takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, and will pop your taste buds in overdrive
.
It’s a lot like Foster bananas, only butterier, more rum-flavored, and (at least in my opinion) even more delicious
.
11. Pina Colada
I’m a firm believer that sweet and tasty drinks are just as good for dessert as anything you have to chew, and there’s nothing sweeter or much more appetizing than a piña colada
.
This three-ingredient drink is incredibly easy to make, and is perfect to enjoy while sitting by the sea or poolside
.
12. Pear and rum cake with spices
This wonderfully seasoned cake is dense, crumbly and a little dry
.
Luckily, the fantastic, sticky rum icing perfectly balances the dryness of the cake
.
It’s rich and spicy, and smells as good as it seems. Serve it for dessert or as a sweet for breakfast. Either way, you won’t find many people complaining.
13.
You’ll get
all the rich, buttery flavor of butter cookies with these cookies, but they’ll also come with an exceptionally sweet, almost mellow taste thanks to rum
.
They are also beautiful; The enamel almost looks like molten gold
.
14. Tiramisu
Whether you already love tiramisu or have never tried it, you will enjoy this traditional Italian dessert recipe
.
Each finger of vanilla cake is brimming with delicious coffee flavor, and the layer of cashew cream around it is deliciously sweet and nutty.
The rich powder coating of cocoa powder won’t hurt your feelings, either.
15. Stollen
This thick, hearty bread is sweet enough for dessert, but filling enough for a hot, tasty breakfast
. You
won’t believe everything this one loaf
of bread has in it.
There are blueberries, raisins, lemon zest and candied orange, nutmeg, cardamom and other spices, almonds and more
.
Complete everything with powdered sugar for further decay.
I don’t want to imply that this German bread is perfect, but… Wait… Actually, yes. Yes.
It’s perfect, especially if you serve it with a cup of coffee or hot tea
.
16.
Pecan Walnut Rum Bars
I never loved the way these crunchy bars looked, but their taste is a different story
.
You’ll make them with chopped nuts, butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, candied red cherries, pineapple confit, candied citron and rum
.
They will remind you of a fruitcake, but somehow, these are better.
They will only take 20 minutes to prepare, but you will need at least an hour to bake them, so do not wait until the last minute.
17. Rumchata Cupcakes
If you’ve never tried it before, rumchata is an unparalleled combination of rum, cream, cinnamon, and vanilla, and yes, it’s as good as it sounds
.
These cupcakes are light and fluffy, and once you freeze them and cover them with cinnamon, they’re a treat you won’t want to share.
18. Jamaican banana bread
Jamaican banana bread
has the same dense texture and amazing smell as traditional banana bread, but you’ll use a few more ingredients in it.
Some of them include cream cheese, rum, lemon juice,
lime zest and flaked
coconut.
It will also add a topping of brown sugar, butter, lemon juice, rum, roasted nuts, and more flaked coconut
.
Add crunchiness, a little sourness, and an overall tropical flavor you can’t ignore
.
19.
Chocolate chip cookies with rum
These chewy and chocolate cookies are as good as any homemade chocolate chip cookie
.
However, they are less fattening, have fewer calories, and have an excellent burst of extra flavor, thanks to rum and vanilla
.
20. Oatmeal
cookies with raisins
I’m a big fan of homemade oatmeal cookies, but I also think you can make them even better by adding cinnamon and raisins to them
.
If those raisins were soaked in rich, sweet, sugary rum, then that’s even better.
