Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup Guinness stout beer
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, and 1/4 cup of sugar over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Stir occasionally to avoid scorching.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar until well combined and slightly pale in color.
3. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
6. Stir in the Guinness stout beer and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
7. Cover the custard with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8. Once the custard is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
9. Transfer the churned ice cream into a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours to firm up.
10. Serve the Guinness ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy the creamy goodness with a hint of Guinness flavor!
