Guinness Inspired Desserts
Everyone knows the rich creamy texture of Guinness is perfect for a night out with friends. But did you know it also transforms desserts into something extraordinary? Playing with a dash or more of Guinness can elevate everything from chocolate cake to decadent crepes. The key is knowing just how much to prepare them with. Here you’ll find some creative ways to use Guinness for a sweet treat that are perfect for any occasion.
Guinness Jamaican Black Cake
If you’re looking for a dessert with a real twist, try this Guinness Jamaican Black Cake. This bold mix of flavours was crafted by Corwin Hemming, a New York based chef who designed this sumptuous treat in honour of his Jamaican heritage. Instead of soaking the fruit used in this recipe in red wine, Guinness Original Stout is used to amplify the flavour profile. For anyone who loves surprising guests or loved ones with bold, unexpected flavours, this is a perfect cake to try out! Moist and full of flavour, it’s sure to be the talking point of any occasion.
Raspberry Chocolate Torte
Made with celebrations in mind, this luxurious chocolate torte recipe relies on the winning combination of raspberry and Guinness to give it something truly special. Easy to prepare and ready in just two hours, this rich multilayered cake is perfect for the busy host who still wants to impress once dessert time rolls around. The buttercream topping and filling perfectly balances out the rich Guinness flavour infused in the chocolate cake base. Be sure to top with some fresh raspberries for an Instagram worthy centrepiece.
Caribbean Ice Cream Float
This Caribbean Ice Cream Float makes a splash on a summer’s day by pairing two deliciously bold flavours: coconut and Guinness. This is a great dessert to serve when you don’t want to spend long in the kitchen but equally want to serve up something inventive and flavourful. Simply drizzle Guinness and rum over generous servings of coconut ice cream for an inspired treat. Serve with some chocolate shavings on top and you’re ready to go!
Guinness Apple Oat Crumble with Cinnamon Sea Salt Whipped Cream
Nothing says an Irish dessert like a classic oat crumble. For a traditional and hearty dessert prepare a batch of this Guinness and Cinnamon baked crumble. The Guinness infused apples with cinnamon provide a truly welcome new twist on this staple dish. The result is well worth the cooking and preparation time. Trust us, once you savour the first bite of sea salt whipped cream melting over the medley of oats and apple, it’s sure to be a rotating feature of your dessert repertoire. Even better, you can make a big batch of this dessert and reheat it the next day for a sumptuous mid-week dessert. This is a true all rounder recipe which can be used in bake sales, special occasions, or simply when the mood strikes!
