Guinness Ice Cream

While staying at a B&B recently, I came across an article in a magazine describing ice cream in Jamaica. Apparently they're most known for their stout flavored ice cream. It was described as not overly sweet, interesting and complex. I decided to give it a shot! It was a custard based recipe, so I cooked away on the stove. When you're done
cooking, you add the vanilla and the Guinness.Then it's into the fridge to chill. After chilling completely, you put the mixture into the ice cream maker to churn.
After a thorough churning, it's into the freezer to firm up. It actually turned out quite well. Great texture and creaminess, and an interesting complex flavor that wasn't TOO sweet.
Here's the ingredients:
6 egg yolks
1/2 t salt
3/4 c sugar
2 c heavy cream
These first ingredients are what are cooked and thickened on the stove over medium heat, stirring constantly.
1 bottle stout
1 t vanilla
Then these last two get added right before the chill!
Enjoy!
