🥘Ingredients

For the Ice Cream Base

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp ground coriander
5 large egg yolks

For the Guinness Mixture

1 cup Guinness stout
1/2 cup granulated sugar

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of Guinness stout with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar over medium heat.
2Stir until sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
3Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
4In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, allspice, cardamom, and coriander until well combined.
5In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and thick.
6Gradually pour the cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
7Add the cooled Guinness mixture to the cream and egg mixture and stir until well combined.
8Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
9This should take about 20-30 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.

11Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

A2: For this recipe, you’ll want to use heavy cream or whole milk – they provide the perfect balance of richness and lightness that complements the stout perfectly.

Q3: Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

A3: Yes! Simply substitute the heavy cream with a non-dairy milk alternative like almond or soy milk – just be aware that the flavor might not be as rich and creamy as the original version.

Q4: How long does this ice cream keep in the freezer?

A4: This ice cream will keep for up to 3 months in an airtight container in your freezer – just be sure to label it clearly so you don’t accidentally eat something you thought was still fresh!

Q5: Can I make this recipe in smaller quantities?
