STOUT FLOAT

How many of my favorite flavors can be packed into a glass? Plenty. Stout, coffee, chocolate, and vanilla make for a grown-up, earthy (but still fun) take on a float. I prefer a deeply chocolatey stout for this, but it's just grand with any deep, dark porter you love-although I'd steer clear of oyster stouts for this. The vanilla seeds in the whipped cream may seem like a minor detail, but they're not: they help to bring all the flavors together, and the small, brown flecks complement the rich color of the stout.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 oz. coffee liqueur (preferably Fair Café)
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
6 oz. stout (I like Young's Double Chocolate)
Unsweetened whipped cream flavored with vanilla seeds
Dark chocolate for grating

Steps:

  • To a tall, soda-fountain-style glass (or an imperial pint glass), add the coffee liqueur and one scoop of the ice cream. Slowly add the stout and the second scoop of ice cream. Top with as much freshly whipped cream and grated dark chocolate as you like.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality stout. The flavor of the stout will be the foundation of your float, so it's important to choose one that you enjoy. Look for a stout that is rich, creamy, and has a good balance of bitterness and sweetness.
  • Use a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Vanilla ice cream is the classic choice for a stout float, but you can also experiment with other flavors, such as chocolate, coffee, or caramel. Be sure to use a high-quality ice cream that is made with real cream and eggs.
  • Top with whipped cream and a cherry. Whipped cream and a cherry are the perfect finishing touches for a stout float. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess, and they make the float look extra special.
  • Serve immediately. Stout floats are best enjoyed immediately, before the ice cream melts and the stout becomes flat. So, make sure to have everything ready to go before you start assembling your floats.

Conclusion:

A stout float is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So, next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give a stout float a try. You won't be disappointed!
