It’s Wednesday!  Let’s party!

Happy Wednesday, y’all!  What a better way to start your hump day than with a boozy dessert and a giveaway?!?!

Let’s put beer in everything!  We’ve got cherries reduced in R. J. Rockers Son of a Peach and some Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout whipped into the mascarpone.  I confess – Sara Lee helped out with the chocolate pound cake.

Do I know how to party or what?  Well, me and Sara Lee.  Or is that me and my Bobby McGee?

Anyway, it wouldn’t be a party without some swag, right?

There is no special occasion for this giveaway, except who doesn’t like getting free stuff and I love y’all!  So when a great group of blogger friends invited me to participate in a Williams-Sonoma gift card giveaway, I said a big “heck yeah!”  Enter below and best of luck!

Peach Ale Cherries on Chocolate Pound Cake with Chocolate Stout Whipped Mascapone

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds fresh cherries pitted and stems removed
  • 1 12 ounce bottle peach ale I used R.J. Rockers Son of a Peach
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 8.8 ounce container mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons confectioner sugar
  • 6 tablespoons chocolate stout I used Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout
  • Prepared chocolate pound cake slices I used Sara Lee

Instructions

  1. Combine peach ale, cherries, and corn starch in a Dutch oven over high heat, bring to a boil, reduce to a heavy simmer
  2. Cook until thick and syrupy - I let them go for about 1 hour
  3. Set aside to cool
  4. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine mascarpone, honey, heavy cream, and sugar.
  5. Beat on medium high until combined and smooth - 1-2 minutes
  6. Add chocolate stout and whip until combined, scraping down sides when necessary
  7. Arrange chocolate pound cake on a plate, top with cheese mixture, then cherries

Recipe note:  You do not need 4 pounds of cherries (although they cook down significantly).  I like to cook a big pot of fruit compote and freeze it to use in the winter.  Obviously there was a lot of cherry mixture left over, but the rest was enough for 4 servings.

    Wait…cherries reduced in peach ale!?! That sounds incredible enough just by itself. But then you went and added in chocolate stout mascarpone and chocolate pound cake? Ok, I need this in my life. Like right this very instant. No more waiting. 🙂

    Rachelle, you crack me up. If Julie Andrews had sponsored this, you’d be my new hero. I have the habit of talking up products that don’t know I exist and probably never will. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love them!
    This pound cake booze delight is amazing. Talk about doing it up right!
