With St. Patrick’s around the corner and March Madness up ahead, it’s time to create desserts with beer! A few years ago I shared this boozy whiskey ice cream float. It featured scoops of homemade whiskey ice cream mixed with chocolate syrup, bourbon, and chilled stout beer. Whiskey ice cream is old news. Let’s try something even better! Beer Ice Cream Fans of stout beer rejoice! This stout ice cream is made with concentrated stout beer. By reducing the beer, the flavor becomes more intense. The flavor of the concentrated beer is able to shine through the milk, cream, and eggs. What brand of beer to use for ice cream? Any brand of stout beer will work. There are a ton of options to choose from. Stick with a classic like Guinness or venture with something new. From cocoa-infused imperial stouts to gingerbread stout or bourbon barrel aged stout, there is a stout for every taste and season. Compressor Ice Cream Maker Over the years, I have use a variety of different ice cream makers. This compressor ice cream maker is my absolute favorite. Most ice cream machine require you to freezer the canister ahead of time. This one isn’t like the others. There isn’t any prep needed. Simply pour the liquid ice cream mixture into the machine. The compressor ice cream maker will automatically chill the canister. Within 30 minutes, you’ll have churned ice cream! The churned ice cream can be eaten straight from the canister. However, it will have the consistency of soft serve ice cream. For better texture, spread the churned ice cream into a freezer safe container and freeze for a few hours until thickened. By itself, the ice cream is not very sweet. It is best enjoyed with a drizzle of hot chocolate fudge sauce. Use your favorite store bought chocolate sauce or try this quick homemade chocolate syrup recipe. For the ultimate stout experience, make a boozy ice cream float! Mix a few scoops of stout ice cream and vanilla ice cream together and top with chilled stout of choice. Cheers!
