Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

6 egg yolks

2 cups heavy cream

1 1/2 cups strong stout (one 11-12-oz. bottle)

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preparation

Whisk together sugar, salt, and egg yolks in a 4-qt. saucepan until smooth; stir in cream and cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine strainer into a medium bowl, and whisk in stout and vanilla; refrigerate until chilled. Process in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer to a resealable plastic container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
