The man in your life will LOVE YOU so much if you make this for Valentines. Another great Bon Appetit recipe, it incorporates a lot of his favorite things..Beer, Kahlua and Ice Cream...did I mention BEER! I think I may even like these. Weird that I don't like chocolate except in chocolate ice cream. The cocoa syrup can be made ahead, 2-3 days, and chilled which may help keep it cold and the ice cream from melting.
Ingredients:
For the Cocoa Syrup
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 cup boiling water
1 tsp vanilla
salt
For the Floats
1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
6 tbls Kahlua
Chocolate ice cream
3 (12 oz) chilled stout beer
For the Cocoa Syrup, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder and a pinch of salt in a sauce pan. Pour just enough of the boiling water in to form a smooth paste (3 tbl) and then whisk in the remaining water. Simmer syrup for 1-1/2 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Cool to room temperature then cover and chill at least a few hours.
To make the floats, using an electric mixer, beat cream and vanilla until peaks form. Cover and chill about an hour. Pour 1 tbl of Kahlua and 1 tbl cocoa syrup in the bottom of a tall 10 oz glass. Place a LARGE scoop of ice cream over that. Add beer pouring gently down the side of the glass to prevent foaming - all the way to the TOP. Spoon a dollop of whipped cream on top and drizzle that with a little cocoa syrup. Should make 6 servings...or in my case 2...Serve Immediately!
A PERFECT GROWN UP DESSERT!
ENJOY!
