Craving a unique twist on the classic Guinness Stout flavor? Look no further! This delectable ice cream recipe is right up your alley.

She gave it her stamp of approval, and my fridge saw a bottle of Guinness vanish like magic!

This ice cream was a hit at our St. Patty's Day Recipes photo gallery event. Here's the lowdown on how to whip up this yummy dessert.

Servings: Approx 6-10
Prep Time: 1 hour, plus chilling and freezing

Ingredients (8)

7 ounces (205g) milk chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup (250 ml) whole milk
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
Pinch of salt
4 large egg yolks
1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream
3/4 cup (180 ml) Guinness Stout
1 tsp vanilla extract

Let's Get Cooking!

Pop the chocolate pieces in a large bowl and set a mesh strainer over it.
Warm the milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer over the milk chocolate, then stir until the chocolate melts. Once smooth, whisk in the cream, then the Guinness and vanilla. Stir until cool over an ice bath.
Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker.

Pro Tips to Customize Your Ice Cream

Dark Choc Variation: Use dark chocolate instead of milk for a richer flavor.
Whiskey Twist: Add a tsp of Irish whiskey for a grown-up kick.
Nutty Addition: Fold in chopped nuts like hazelnuts or almonds for added crunch.
