ingredients

• 453.59 g Guinness stout
• 473.18 ml heavy cream

1. Combine Guinness, cream and milk in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
2. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a large heat-proof bowl. Slowly add the hot Guinness cream, whisking constantly until well-blended.

6. Serve with chocolate-covered pretzels.

I'm sure this tastes good, but that's quite a bit of cholesterol and saturated fat for just one serving of ice cream. Where's the low-fat version?

This had an excellent flavor and was pretty easy to make. A little sweet with a nice mellow Guinness taste. Thanks for posting. I will make it again.
