Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Cocoa syrup:
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder (spooned into cup to measure, then leveled)
2/3 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Floats:
1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons Kahlúa or other coffee-flavored liqueur
Chocolate ice cream
3 12-ounce bottles or 2 pints (about) chilled stout
Special equipment
6 iced-teaspoons
6 straws

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.

I'm not a big fan of stout, but I really enjoyed these floats. The coconut mousse and chocolate chips helped to balance out the flavor of the stout, and the overall effect was very refreshing.

The stout floats were a nice treat, but I found the stout syrup to be a bit too overpowering. I think it would have been better if the syrup was a bit less sweet or if there was less of it.

These stout floats were a bit too heavy for my taste. The coconut mousse was a bit too rich and the stout syrup was a bit too sweet. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the flavors were a bit more balanced.
