Chocolate Guinness Sauce

Posted By nutmegnanny on March 15, 2010

One Year Ago: Homemade Chocolate Pudding

I wanted to do something a little different with my Guinness so I decided to try and make a chocolate sauce. It turned out delicious and on top of vanilla ice cream it was heaven….yum! I used bittersweet chocolate and sweetened it a bit with golden syrup and brown sugar. The Guinness flavor was mild but mixed with the chocolate it paired nicely. I have a feeling if I used Guinness extra stout it would have picked up more of the beer flavor. Either way I would say I’m satisfied with my first ever ice cream topping and can’t wait to make more…Enjoy!!!

Chocolate Guinness Sauce:

5oz. Bittersweet chocolate

1 T. golden syrup

1 T. brown sugar

1/3 C. heavy cream

2/3 C. Guinness Beer

Put all ingredients into a pan and cook over medium heat until combined and melted. Cook for a few more minutes to let sauce thicken up. Take off heat and serve warm over ice cream. Store in air tight container in the fridge.

Brilliant! I just saw a recipe for chocolate guiness cupcakes–I guess I need to try the combo in some form. Never would have thought to pair the two.

Oooo… very appropriate for St. Patty’s Day . Guinness and chocolate are made for each other. Great idea!

Sweet!! I had just gotten some Guinness over the weekend. I’m bookmarking this. So perfect drizzles over a couple scoops of ice cream.

Even though I’m not a fan of beer, I’d be willing to give this sauce a try! Especially when it’s served up over some ice cream Yum!

Last night, I attempted a different kind of syrup for ice cream made with Guinness, and it didn’t work quite. So, I just made this one, and it’s delicious! Thanks for this.

By any chance does the sauce freeze when it comes in contact with the ice cream?

  Nope. It cooled down but didn’t freeze up.
