Guinness Float
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped out
- 1 ounce Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 ounce Irish whiskey
- Dash of chocolate bitters
- 2 ounces Guinness stout
- Make the ice cream: Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until pale.
- Bring the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla pod and seeds to a simmer in a small saucepan.
- Slowly whisk the hot liquid into the egg mixture; strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, then set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice water.
- Add the Irish cream and whiskey and stir until cool.
- Transfer to the refrigerator and chill at least 3 hours.
- Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
- For each float, put a scoop of the ice cream in a glass.
- Add the chocolate bitters and top with the Guinness.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, fold Baileys Irish Cream and whiskey into softened vanilla ice cream and freeze until firm.
