- 1 bottle Irish stout, (11.2 oz or so)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup whipping cream, warmed until hot
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream, (2 cups)
- ½ cup milk
In a medium saucepan, add the stout and place on medium heat, and simmer until reduced to about ½ cup.
Stir in the sugar, stirring, cook until mixture reads 135° C (275° F) on a thermometer. Remove from heat.
Whisk in the hot whipping cream about ⅓ cup at a time. Let mixture cool to room temperature. Transfer sauce to an airtight container and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour to thicken and cool completely.
When ready to make milkshakes, add the ice cream, milk, and ¼ cup of sauce to a blender, process 30-40 seconds or until smooth.
Pour into serving glasses, drizzle with additional sauce, enjoy.
