Depending on whom you talk to, making ice cream floats with beer is either a genius idea or a horrible mistake. The key is to choose a beer on the toasty, malty, sweeter side and stay away from beers that are too hoppy, dry, and bitter. Here I offer two recipe versions: coffee ice cream with stout and vanilla ice cream (the safest option) with a Belgian raspberry sour (or any fruity beer). I’d make a small test glass first to ensure it works for your palate.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate stout beer
- 1 scoop coffee ice cream
- 1 pinch unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Belgian-style raspberry sour beer
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
Directions
Step 1
Version 1: Pour stout into a British pint glass and scoop coffee ice cream on top. Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder.
Step 2
Version 2: Pour raspberry beer into a pint glass; top with vanilla ice cream.
Step 3
Add a straw to each float and serve with spoons alongside.
