Guinness and chocolate combine to form something truly amazing in this pudding that is topped with a Guinness syrup whipped cream.

I have really been into the Guinness and chocolate flavour combo lately! Guinness, like coffee, has the ability to bring out chocolates natural flavour and make it even better, if that is possible. Even after the Guinness chocolate cheesecake and the chocolate stout cake I was looking for more and this Guinness chocolate pudding that I found on epicurius was looking pretty good. Not only does this recipe use Guinness in the chocolate pudding but it also reduces some Guinness into a syrup and then mixes it into whipped cream which is then placed on top of the pudding as if it were the bubbly head of a Guinness after freshly poured! How cool is that?

Guinness Chocolate Pudding
As far as pudding recipes goes, this one is pretty standard including eggs, sugar, cream, chocolate and of course the Guinness. This recipe is pretty easy but you are going to want to make sure that you do not boil the cream or turn the eggs into scrambled eggs when you add the hot cream to them. Just mix the cream into the eggs nice and slowly and everything will be fine. For a treat like this it really pays off to use a nice quality dark chocolate and if you save some of the chocolate flakes from when you chop it, you can use them as a garnish on the Guinness whipped cream topping.
Tip: If you do accidentally scramble the eggs and get little bits in your pudding or custard, you can run it through a fine meshed sieve to remove any large bits helping to ensure that it is nice and smooth.
This Guinness chocolate pudding is so amazingly smooth, creamy and decadently, chocolaty good!
Use some of the leftover egg white to make some coconut macaroons.

Prep Time:5 minutes Cook Time:45 minutes Total Time:50 minutes Servings: 4

Guinness and chocolate combine to form something truly amazing in this pudding that is topped with a Guinness syrup whipped cream.

ingredients
  • 1 can Guinness Draught
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 7 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 8 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
directions
  1. Pour the Guinness into a large bowl and wait a few minutes for the foam to subside.
  2. Mix half of the Guinness and 2 1/4 cups of heavy cream in a large sauce pan, heat over medium until bubbles just start to form, remove from heat, mix in the chocolate and let it melt.
  3. Mix the eggs and 1 cup of sugar in a large bowl and slowly mix in the Guinness mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture back into the sauce pan and cook over low heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes.
  5. Give the mixture 1 minute on high in the blender, run it through a fine mesh sieve, divide between glasses leaving 1 inch of space, cover in plastic and let chill in the fridge to set.
  6. Meanwhile, simmer the remaining Guinness and sugar over medium heat until it has reduced to about 1 tablespoon, about 15-20 minutes, and let cool.
  7. Beat the remaining cream until soft peaks are form, mix in the Guinness syrup and place on top of the Guinness pudding in the glasses.

    You are a guinness fiend! This looks like the absolute perfect finish to a St. Patty's day feast. I love the idea of the Guinness Syrup whipped cream as well.

    This looks fabulous. Too funny that there is Guiness in there; perfect for St. Patty's Day tomorrow. Just found out you'll be at the Dole Conference, too and I'm so excited to meet you!
    Have a great weekend.

    Great site. Nice clean layout, pics, etc…you've done well. Thanks for all of the hard work (and the beautiful ad-free-ness of it all). I don't know you, but if you're actually eating all of this, moderation is key to a long life. This is some seriously artery-clogging fare, and who knows what else! Ok, doctors know…Otherwise, keep it up. Bon appetit!

    Kevin, I LOVE your recipes!

    I made this as written….okay, I threw a little thousand island dressing in there too, just because that is part of a traditional Reuben sandwich. It was delicious, and I will be sharing it at work.

    THANK YOU!!!

    Thank you Kevin for this recipe. I made this for my husband for valentine's day. He is a diabetic so I successfully substituted stevia for sugar in this recipe. Still tasted amazing! I made 2 types of whipped cream, one with a little stevia, and one using the Guinness syrup. We preferred the one without the Guinness syrup.

    Can't wait to try this! I had to buy Guinness Draught 4-pk for making the glazed corned beef and was wondering what to do with the rest. Hubby loves chocolate, so this is the perfect St. Pat's Day dessert.

    Made a half-batch for St. Patrick's Day. My husband loves chocolate, so I made fairly big servings. It was so rich and wonderful and smooth and decadent, even the confirmed chocoholic couldn't eat all of it! For those who haven't tried it yet, DO NOT skip the Guinness syrup to go on top. The little bit of bitterness in the syrup offsets the rich pudding perfectly! Good without it, divine with it!!! Thanks for another great recipe!

    Dear Lord, Kevin, I am a Guinness freak as well. Until a year and 1/2 ago, I had never drunk even one whole beer. Beer always gave me a “yucky” face. Then….drumroll…while in Dublin, my husband and I went to the Guinness Storehouse. He whispered in my ear that he would be happy to drink my ‘tasting’ sip and not to worry about feeling obligated to sip mine. Well, that was such a small sip – and I figure that I should at least taste it………and the rest is history! Oh my goodness! That is ambrosia! And yes, your recipes are making me crazy. Don’t stop!

    Can I use half and half or whole milk instead of heavy cream? Does anyone know? I want to make this next week for St. Patty’s Day. Thanks
