Irish Ice Cream with English Toffee Bits

This recipe has become a trademark of my husbands. Generally he enjoys ending all of his amazing dinners with a unique ice cream, but this one, well it's truly special. 



And seriously, what's not to love when you combine Guinness and Heath Candy Bars in an ice cream. If you ask husband he'll tell you, as serious as a heart attack, that Guinness is the elixir of life and the cure to everything



The recipe is adapted from an official Guinness book: Guinness: Celebrating 250 RemarkableYears, page  104. It's a cool little book on the history of Guinness with lots of pretty pictures and a few fun recipes in the back like this one.




Step 1: Make the custard and then chill in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Instead of the light cream the recipe calls for we are now using half heavy cream & half 2% milk. This gives the ice cream a more creamy consistency. 



Step 2: Pour into ice cream maker and let it do its magic.
Step 3: Add the chocolate candies.  It calls for chocolate covered honeycomb candies... must be some sort of Irish thing. Instead we add about 8 miniature Heath Bars, crumbled.
Step 4: ENJOY!


The only problem with this fabulous dessert is the name. We need a fun name that includes the combination of Irish & English... but doesn't use the words Guinness or Heath. Any ideas?
