Guinness Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 16 ounces Guinness stout
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 3/4 cups whole milk
• 15 large egg yolks
• 1 cup white sugar

Directions

1. 1

   Combine Guinness, cream and milk in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a large heat-proof bowl. Slowly add the hot Guinness cream, whisking constantly until well-blended.

3. 3

   Strain back into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat about 6 minutes, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Do not let boil.

4. 4

   Set a medium bowl inside a large bowl filled with ice water. Pour the custard into the medium bowl. Stir occasionally until the custard is cold, about 30 minutes. Change the ice as needed.

5. 5

   Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze per manufacturer's instructions. Pack into an airtight container and place into freezer until firm, about 4 hours.

6. 6

   Serve with chocolate-covered pretzels.
