My Goodness, My Guinness Ice Cream

I came across a recipe for Guinness Ice Cream in the Food section of Boston.com today. What a great idea! The recipe calls for molasses though and since my kitchen is temporarily out of molasses, I am going to try this really simple recipe by Daniel Bornstein which was originally published at milk.com:

Recipe for Guinness Ice Cream

1 1/2 Cans Guinness Draft Beer
1 Large Egg
1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Milk
2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream

Preparation: Pour Guinness into a pan. (Note, you should drink the leftover 1/2 can while you prepare this recipe.) Boil it down to 1 1/2 cups and then leave it on the stove on low heat.

Mix the egg and sugar in a bowl. Stir in the milk and the warm Guinness concentrate. Mix in cream.

Chill the mixture for about an hour. Process in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Makes approximately one quart of ice cream.
