Guinness Ice Cream Float
Description
To make a Guinness Ice Cream Float, vanilla ice cream that is softened but not melted is distributed evenly in chilled, wide-mouthed glasses. Guinness stout is then poured slowly over the ice cream to allow the foam to settle before continuing, resulting in a cascading mix of creamy ice cream and effervescent stout.
The float balances the slight sweetness and creaminess of vanilla ice cream with the deep, malty, and slightly bitter taste of Guinness beer. The melding of temperatures and textures creates a distinctive cold beverage that can serve as a dessert or a unique refreshment.
This float is simple to prepare and requires no additional ingredients, making it suitable for impromptu serving. Using slightly softened ice cream ensures a smooth mix without excessive melting.
Ingredients
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream softened slightly but not melted, store-bought or homemade
- One (12-ounce) stout beer Guinness brand, bottle
Instructions
- Divvy the ice cream between 2 tall, ice-cold, wide-mouthed glasses, soda fountain glasses, or beer mugs.
- Divvy some of the Guinness equally between your 2 glasses, pouring it very slowly over the ice cream. Wait a little for the foam to subside, then pour in the rest of the beer. Stir gently. You can take it from here.
