Serves: 6
Ingredients
-
1
12-ounce bottle Guinness or other stout
-
1/4
cup cocoa powder
-
2
tablespoons granulated sugar
-
1
pinch kosher salt
-
3
cups whole milk
-
8
ounces chopped dark chocolate
-
4
ounces Irish cream liqueur
-
4
ounces Irish whiskey
Directions
- Cook Guinness over medium-high heat in a saucepan until it’s syrupy and has reduced down to about 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Set the syrup aside.
- In a separate medium saucepan, stir cocoa with sugar and salt. Whisk in the milk and the chocolate, and heat over medium, whisking constantly, until chocolate is fully incorporated.
- Add the Irish cream, the reserved stout syrup, and the whiskey. Stir. When you’re ready to serve, froth the mixture with a hand blender, a milk frother, or a whisk and a strong arm. Serve hot.
