Servings: 5 4 oz. servings
Ingredients
Pudding Ingredients:
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup Guinness Stout or Irish Dry Stout
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 4 ounces high-quality bittersweet 70 to 72% cacao chocolate, finely chopped
Whipped Cream Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup whipped heavy cream
- Grated chocolate
Instructions
- In large nonreactive mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar.
- Pour 1/2 cup Guinness (without foam) into saucepan. Add 1 1/2 cups cream and whisk to combine.
- Set over medium heat and continue to heat, whisking occasionally, until bubbles just begin to form at edges. Remove from heat, add chocolate, and whisk until smooth.
- Slowly pour hot chocolate mixture into eggs, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
- Return mixture to saucepan and set over moderately low heat.
- Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens and coats back of spoon, about 15 minutes. (Pudding will look separated.)
- Pour into blender and blend on high for 1 minute.
- Divide pudding among glasses, leaving at least 1 inch of space at top of each. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled and set.
- Topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
