Steps:
- For cocoa syrup:
- Whisk sugar, cocoa powder, and pinch of salt in small saucepan. Pour 2/3 cup boiling water into heat-resistant measuring cup. Whisk just enough boiling water from cup into cocoa mixture in saucepan to form smooth paste (about 3 tablespoons), then whisk in remaining water. Bring to simmer over low heat, stirring constantly. Simmer syrup 1 1/2 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 weeks ahead. Cover; chill.
- For floats:
- Using electric mixer, beat cream and vanilla in medium bowl until peaks form. Cover; chill. Pour 1 tablespoon Kahlúa and 1 tablespoon cocoa syrup into each of six 10-ounce glasses. Place 1 scoop of ice cream in each glass. Add stout, pouring gently down side of tilted glass to prevent too much head from forming. Spoon dollop of whipped cream into each glass. Drizzle with cocoa syrup, place spoon and straw in each, and serve immediately.
STOUT FLOATS
On a recent visit to London, Knauer overheard a local in a pub ordering a "Guinness and Black" - which turned out to be the famous Irish stout plus a shot of blackberry brandy. That combination is also the genius behind these floats; the brandy's luscious fruitiness bridges the gap between the sweet ice cream and bitter beer.

Steps:
- Divide ice cream among 6 (16-ounce) glasses, then add 1 tablespoon brandy to each. Slowly pour 8 ounces stout into each glass.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality stout beer. A stout with a rich, chocolatey flavor will pair best with the ice cream.
- Use a good quality vanilla ice cream. A cheap, icy ice cream will not be as creamy or flavorful as a premium ice cream.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and crushed pretzels are all popular choices, but you can also try more unique toppings like bacon bits or caramel sauce.
- Make sure your stout is cold before using it. A warm stout will not float on top of the ice cream as well as a cold stout.
- Serve your stout float immediately after making it. The ice cream will start to melt quickly, so it's best to enjoy your float right away.
Conclusion:
A stout float is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a treat that is both refreshing and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give a stout float a try.
