Guinness Ice Cream Recipe

Irish Stout Ice Cream

Servings: 8

Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 cups whole milk
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 vanilla bean
• 6 egg yolks, beaten
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Irish stout beer (such as Guinness)

Directions

1. In a saucepan, combine the cream, milk, and sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved, about 5 minutes.
2. Use a sharp knife to split the vanilla bean lengthwise. Scrape the seeds into the cream mixture and place the pod in the saucepan as well. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from heat. Discard the vanilla bean pod.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of the hot cream mixture to temper the yolks.
4. Return the egg yolk mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat. Whisk constantly for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
5. Transfer the cream mixture to a bowl and let it cool. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until chilled.
6. Meanwhile, in another saucepan, simmer the Irish stout beer over low heat until it reduces to about 2/3 cup, which will take around 15 minutes. Chill the stout syrup for at least 2 hours or overnight.
7. Once both the cream mixture and the stout syrup are chilled, whisk them together in a bowl.
8. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturers instructions.
9. Once the ice cream has finished churning, transfer it to an airtight and store in the freezer until ready to serve.

Recipe Tip

If you prefer, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for the vanilla bean.
