Creme Brulee Stout Float with Creme Brulee Stout No-Churn Ice Cream

Yeah, I went there. But it’s St. Patrick’s Day AND it’s my birthday, so I’m allowed to be totally over the top. In fact, I think it’s encouraged and even required to be totally over the top on your birthday. And since it also happens to be St. Patrick’s Day, I decided beer everywhere is a must.

Now, I know that y’all have seen me use this Creme Brulee Stout in those brownies, and I want to be clear that the fine folks at Southern Tier Brewing are not sponsoring this post or compensating me for putting their delicious beer in everything lately. I just love this beer. It’s just that good. Seriously.

Now that we’ve got the legal stuff out of the way, let’s get back to all things me, my birthday, and this float. My friends and fellow home brewers have been making stout floats for as long as we’ve been brewing. I highly recommend it.

I had the idea to make Creme Brulee Stout No-Churn Ice Cream after I made these brownies and this Mint Chocolate Chip No-Churn Ice Cream. It was like all this ice cream and beer ideas were flying around in my head and collided to explode into the Creme Brulee Stout No-Churn Ice Cream.

Of course I couldn’t stop there. Because why wouldn’t I toss it into some beer. But not just any beer – the beer that is the object of my obsession lately – Southern Tier Creme Brulee Stout.

And the Creme Brulee Stout Float with Creme Brulee Stout No-Churn Ice Cream was born.

So it seemed appropriate to share it with you on the day I was born.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, y’all! Cheers!

Y’all, please forgive me for coming late to the party again. I’ve been in a funk because we lost the dang Super Bowl. I’m going to take some inspiration from Luke who gave a fine interview after such an unfortunate loss and try to stay positive. Seriously, a 17-2 record is something to be proud of!

Remember a couple of years ago when Denver totally blew the Super Bowl from the first snap that went right over Peyton’s head? It all went south after that, but here they are in 2016 with the Lombardi and the Super Bowl rings.

So, I’m going to have a positive attitude and #KeepPounding because watch out #PanthersNation will be back next year and we’ll be even better!

I thought it would be appropriate to share these brownies with you today because the recipe comes from our own hometown favorite, Amelie’s French Bakery. Amelie’s is famous for these brownies and for good reason!

Now, these brownies are quite delicious when made according to the recipe, but this was a dark day and we really needed to add some beer. I’m serious as a train wreck when I tell you that if you can get your hot little hands on some Southern Tier Creme Brulee Stout and put it in these brownies it will be one of the best decisions you ever made. You could even leave out the caramel -it’s that good.

FULL DISCLOSURE: The caramel is delicious, but a total headache to make. I seriously made this recipe 4 times and consulted with one of the Amelie’s pastry chefs before I got it right with this dang caramel. You need to remove the sugar mixture from the heat prior to adding the cream. Then you need to SLOWLY add the cream or it will blow up and create on unholy mess on your stove. Finally, the key to serving them is to freeze them after you add the caramel sauce until they are solid, then run your knife under hot water, wipe it dry, then you can cut them. And make sure that when you put them in the freezer if you cover them make sure nothing is touching the tops of the caramel or it will totally stick. You will not be happy if this happens. Trust me.

It was a lot, but I’m trying to keep things real ’round these parts.

In my effort to keep things real, be positive, and maintain my sunny disposition, let’s not forget that we have a Valentine’s Day Giveaway event going on here for a $1000 Amazon gift card! I certainly can’t think of one single good reason why you haven’t entered yet, but there is still time so get busy!
