Irish Stout Chocolate Ice Cream
Ingredients
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 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®)
Instructions
1
Combine the cream, milk, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has fully incorporated into the mixture, taking around 5 minutes to achieve this.
2
Carefully split the vanilla bean lengthwise with a sharp knife, then scrape out the seeds and add them to the cream mixture. Place the vanilla bean pod into the mixture, then bring it to a boil.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Gradually pour in 1 cup of hot cream mixture, making sure to mix well.
4
Now, whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the cream mixture. Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens slightly, taking around 2 to 3 minutes. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon; however, it's essential not to let it boil.
5
Transfer the cream mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled, allowing it to cool for at least 2 hours or overnight.
6
In a separate saucepan, simmer the Irish stout beer over low heat until it has reduced to 2/3 cup, taking around 15 minutes. Chill the stout beer syrup in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
7
Whisk together the chilled cream mixture and beer syrup until well combined. Pour this mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
8
Once the machine has finished its cycle, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and store it in the freezer.
