Hi Marcella,

This isn't the exact recipe you're looking for but here are my suggestions to make it close. Use vanilla ice cream, substitute a teaspoon of vanilla or maple flavoring for the rum, substitute 1/2 cup finely chopped or grated peeled fresh apple for the walnuts. But I have to tell you the rum raisin version looks very good! If you experiment with it please share your recipe with us.

Happy Cooking,

Betsy
