Equipment
- Ice Cream Maker/Machine
Ingredients
- 12 oz stout beer , reduced to ¾ cup (6 oz)
- 1 ½ cup heavy cream (340 g)
- ¾ cup whole milk (170 g)
- 5 large egg yolks (75 g)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 g)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Pour room temperature stout beer into a small heavy bottom sauce pot. Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Heat until beer has reduced to ¾ cup (6 oz). Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium sauce pot, combine cream, milk, and one tablespoon of sugar. Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Stir as necessary to ensure milk does not burn along the sides or bottom of pot.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and remaining sugar. Once milk mixture has almost come to a boil, lower heat. Temper hot milk into sugar-yolk mixture. Slowly add hot milk into sugar-yolk mixture about ¼ cup at a time, whisking to distribute heat. Once all the milk has been added to yolk mixture, transfer all contents back into the sauce pot.
- Pour in concentrated stout. Stir over medium-low heat until mixture reaches nappe consistency, or 180°F on a kitchen thermometer. Stir frequently to ensure mixture does not burn along the bottom of pot. Let mixture sit at 180°F for 2 minutes to pasteurize eggs. Remove from heat and stir in salt.
- Transfer mixture to an airtight container and let mature in the fridge overnight. Freeze mixture in your ice cream maker according to your unit's instructions.
- Continue to churn until the volume has increased by half and has thickened to a soft serve consistency. Transfer ice cream to a freezer safe container and freeze for at least 30 minutes. Allow ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften before scooping and serving.
- Serve ice cream with chocolate syrup.
Notes
Storage: Ice cream will keep in the freezer in an airtight container for 5 days.
