Ingredients

12 ounces Guinness stout
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
6 egg yolks
Dark Chocolate-Honey Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

In a large saucepan, simmer the Guinness until reduced by 3/4 in volume, about 8 minutes. Combine the cream, milk, and sugar in a medium, heavy saucepan. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the pan and add the vanilla bean halves. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat.

Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk 1 cup of the hot cream into the egg yolks. Gradually add the egg mixture in a slow, steady stream, to the hot cream. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and reaches 170 degrees F. on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down against the surface to keep a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Remove from refrigerator and add the Guinness reduction, whisking until well blended. Pour into the bowl of an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve.

Dark Chocolate-Honey Sauce:

2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup honey
20 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

In a medium saucepan, scald cream and honey medium heat. Remove from the heat. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Add the hot cream, let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla. Let stand until cool but still pourable. Serve over Guinness ice cream.

Way too fatty! But good ...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The flavor of this ice cream is so good, and my friends are always excited to try it, but the first time I made it as it was... written it was way too fatty for anyone to really enjoy. It literally leaves a thick film of fat on the roof of your mouth! I've found that using 2% milk and only 4 egg yolks eliminates this and still produces a really good ice cream. Also, I like to pour a little vanilla extract into the Guinness before I reduce it and that adds more yummy vanilla flavor ... Now I make it again and again!Read more

Stouty Goodness
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Though being a beer lover, I was a little apprehensive when I looked at this recipe, but I figured what the heck. And it... paid off. So creamy smooth, with the sweetness of the reduced stout. The vanilla bean adds another level to it too! Didn't make the sauce, but I agree, I think it should be 2 oz. not 20!Read more

LOVED IT!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this ice cream several times for dinner parties and absolutely everyone has given rave reviews. Now, I always... double the recipe and have leftovers for myself! I have also substituted Young's Double Chocolate Stout beer and it is also wonderful! (I have never made the chocolate sauce due to the amount of chocolate required.)Read more

Not my favorite..
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

We didn't like how this turned out. It didn't really taste like Guinness..it didn't really taste like anything! And it made... our kitchen smell like a brewery! We didn't make the chocolate sauce though, maybe that was the secret.Read more
