Chocolate Stout Ice Cream

Directions

1. In a heavy saucepan, heat the cream, stout, milk and honey until bubbly. Set aside.
2. Using an electric mixer on high, beat the egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl until fluffy. Beat in the cocoa powder until thoroughly combined.
3. Gradually stir in the hot stout mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Then pour the contents into the saucepan.
4. Cook and stir over a medium heat until the mixture is slightly thickened and just beginning to bubble around the edges—don’t overcook.
5. Place the semisweet chocolate in large bowl. Pour the hot egg mixture over the chocolate and whisk well until the chocolate is melted. Let the mixture cool, then cover and chill thoroughly (two hours or more).
6. Pour the mixture into a 2-quart ice cream container. Freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions. Makes one quart.
