This sweet chocolate Guinness sauce is perfect for creamy vanilla or chocolate ice cream. In just 15 minutes, you could be enjoying this delicious sauce!
I wanted to do something a little different with my Guinness, so I decided to try making a chocolate sauce.
It turned out delicious and on top of vanilla ice cream, it was heaven! I used bittersweet chocolate and sweetened it 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’m satisfied with my first-ever ice cream topping and can’t wait to make more…Enjoy!!!

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.

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.
