With summer and its sweltering heat just around the corner, you're probably looking for a refreshing way to cool down. Why not try something original and delicious—beer ice cream?
Homemade beer ice cream recipe
Whether you're a fan of lager, ale, amber, stout, or fruit beer—from Paix-Dieu to Cocobänger—there’s a beer ice cream recipe to match your taste. After our popular beer jam recipe for breakfast, we’re now sharing our favourite recipe for beer ice cream to enjoy as a dessert.
For this recipe, we’ll use Cocobänger, a rich Estonian Imperial Stout from Põhjala Brewery, known for its bold chocolate and coconut flavours.
Ingredients:
- 100 g sugar
- 6 egg yolks
- 50 cl beer (such as Cocobänger)
- 25 cl single cream (40% fat)
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, simmer the beer over low heat for 30 minutes to reduce it and allow the alcohol to evaporate while concentrating the flavour.
- Add the cream to the reduced beer and bring the mixture to a boil.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.
- Slowly pour the hot beer and cream mixture into the bowl with the eggs and sugar, stirring constantly.
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and heat gently, stirring continuously, until it thickens into a custard-like texture.
- Let it cool completely, then transfer it to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
For an extra indulgent twist, pour a splash of dark beer over the ice cream before serving. American brewery Founders is a great choice for this, offering an excellent range of dark beers like Breakfast Stout, Porter, CBS, and KBS.
Beer ice cream is a creative and delicious way to beat the heat while enjoying your favourite brew in a whole new form. Give it a try and impress your friends this summer!
