Flavor #56 - Chocolate Angel's Wings

I have had many requests for this particular flavor. Guinness is known the world over for its unique drinking experience. Why not make it into an ice cream?  There are somethings to consider while preparing. First, the carbonation can make mixing with the other ingredients a challenge, as it was when I made the Root Beer ice cream. Second, too much Guinness in the mix will keep the mix from freezing well. Third, adding some additional flavor is key as the Guinness flavor will be light, yet bitter. It will be important to try not to overtake the flavor of the Guinness or what's the point of doing this to begin with?

1 1/2 Cups of Heavy Cream
1 1/2 Cups of Milk
1/3 Cup of Guinness
3/4 Cups of Sugar
1 1/2 Teaspoons of Ground Cappuccino
1 Pinch of Salt
1/4 Teaspoon of Vanilla
1/2 Cup of Chocolate Chips

Mix it all together, except the chocolate, and put it in the machine. You should find that the mix will be lighter and fluffier as it comes out of the machine because of the carbonation of the Guinness. The flavor will be light, as expected, and will compliment the coffee and the chocolate that is mixed in during the transfer to the container. Feel free to add more Guinness when serving, as I have in the picture above, much like a traditional float. Additional chocolate syrup can be added too.

Sláinte!
