Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped out
1 ounce Baileys Irish Cream
1 ounce Irish whiskey
Dash of chocolate bitters
2 ounces Guinness stout

Steps:

  • Make the ice cream: Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until pale. Bring the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla pod and seeds to a simmer in a small saucepan. Slowly whisk the hot liquid into the egg mixture; strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, then set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice water. Add the Irish cream and whiskey and stir until cool. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill at least 3 hours. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
  • For each float, put a scoop of the ice cream in a glass. Add the chocolate bitters and top with the Guinness. If you don't have an ice cream maker, fold Baileys Irish Cream and whiskey into softened vanilla ice cream and freeze until firm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right Irish whiskey. For the best flavor, use a high-quality Irish whiskey that is at least 8 years old. Some popular brands include Jameson, Bushmills, and Powers.
  • Use fresh cream. Fresh cream will give your float a richer, creamier flavor. Avoid using ultra-pasteurized or shelf-stable cream.
  • Garnish with a cherry or orange slice. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your float.
  • Serve immediately. Irish whiskey floats are best enjoyed fresh. Don't let them sit for too long, or the cream will start to curdle.

Conclusion:

Irish whiskey floats are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet and boozy treat, give Irish whiskey floats a try.
