Milk Chocolate Guinness Ice Cream

I know I haven't posted in a whole year, but I'm back! It's crazy what's happened in a year, but since my last post, I'm going to school for Baking & Pastry Arts and I've become an Executive Pastry Chef for Catering By Design in Denver, CO. Anyway, here's a super delicious, super EASY recipe that involves chocolate and beer, in lieu of being in college for baking school haha!

What You'll Need:
7 oz milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup sugar
pinch salt
4 eggs yolks
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup Guinness Stout
1 tsp. vanilla extract

What to Do:
1. Place the chocolate in a bowl and set aside
2. Scald the milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan
3. Whisk the egg yolks in another separate bowl
4. Pour about 3/4 of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking
**this process is called "tempering" it keeps the eggs from scrambling when you incorporate them
5. Pour the egg mixture back into the pot and continue to whisk until the mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon about 2-3 mins
6. Strain the hot mixture over the chocolate and stir until melted and well mixed
7. When smooth, stir in the cream, Guinness, and vanilla
8. Cool in the fridge, and churn according to your ice cream machines directions.


I got this recipe from a book, called "The Perfect Scoop," I made it at home and it's super good!
