Mix gently but thoroughly, then refrigerate while you whip the cream and egg whites. Whip the cream and chill. Whisk the egg whites stiffly. Fold the whipped cream into the rum and raising mixture, then fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour gently into the lined pudding bowl. Cover and - Freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight.
