Home-made Ice Cream Beer Floats: Heather & Eric
Heather & Eric spoiled us with their home-made coffee ice cream! If that doesn't draw you in, imagine it floating in a pool of Left Hand Milk Stout... an adult version of the classic Root Beer Float!
As Heather stated, "There's nothing bad in this for you! Well, by bad I mean artificial... it's all natural ingredients, the fat kind, but so worth it!!!"
It's always a good night when you can drink your dessert.... Cheers!
Recipe:
Makes 8 servings
3/4 cup whole milk, well chilled
2/3 cup granulated sugar
4-6 teaspoons instant espresso or coffee, to taste
1-1/2 cups heavy cream, well chilled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to combine the milk, granulated sugar, and espresso powder until the sugar and espresso are dissolved, about 1-2 minutes on low speed. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Turn the machine ON; pour mixture into freezer bowl, and let mix until thickened, about 25 to 30 minutes. Put ice cream in freezer for 2 hours to let it "ripen".
Spoon a generous helping of ice cream into a cup and pour beer over it!
