Stout Float Recipes

Steps:

• To a tall, soda-fountain-style glass (or an imperial pint glass), add the coffee liqueur and one scoop of the ice cream. Slowly add the stout and the second scoop of ice cream. Top with as much freshly whipped cream and grated dark chocolate as you like.

Steps:

Simmer syrup 1 1/2 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 weeks ahead. Cover; chill.
