Happy International Beer Day!

You know I don't celebrate every food related holiday, but when I do - there's typically a beverage included! LoL!
To celebrate International Beer Day, I wanted to take a quick few minutes and share a recipe that I use time & time again to inspired & impress; my Chocolate & Espresso Stout Beeramisú.

In fact, I'm even making this tomorrow night for a LIVE Workshop I'm hosting for a Bachelorette Party!

This recipe, while not tradition for a few reasons, allows for an easy spin on the layered italian-style dessert of Tiramisu!

It features pre-made Lady Finger cookies that are dipped in chocolate & coffee stout and layered between a rich creamy mascarpone filled layers.

For this, I like to use a really heavy double chocolate stout (the one pictured here was from my friends at "The George Brewery & Pub" based out of Newmarket, Ontario) but you can use a either a double chocolate stout and add your own espresso/instant espresso powder OR really any oat or milk stout and then flavour it with both cocoa powder and espresso/instant espresso powder.  (If you need help, please feel free to reach out to me at anytime with questions!)

And, for the cream layer - I've removed the work of having to whip raw eggs into stiff peaks, and replaced it with a lovely semi-sweet whipped cream, mascarpone cheese and just a hint of the zing from a lemon to keep this rich dessert lovely, light and perfect to end any style of meal!
You'll need:
  • 1 can or cup Stout Beer (Double Chocolate Stout is Lovely!)
  • 1/2 tbsp instant espresso powder
  • About 12 LadyFinger Cookies
    ​
  • 1 cup very room temperature, mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup whipping cream, chilled well
  • 3 tbsp icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp good vanilla
  • 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt, finely ground

Optional: Cocoa Powder or Chocolate Shavings to decorate the top!
Directions:
  1. Starting in low and then working to medium speed, beet together cream, vanilla, icing sugar and cornstarch to stiff peaks.
  2. Add room temperature Mascarpone & Salt and beat until combined. Chill for 10-minutes.
  3. Prep your bowls or glasses - I. love serving it in a fancy after-dinner coffee glass - something you can see through to see the beautiful layers is awesome! And, if you want to do a sugared rim for an extra little touch all you have to do is dip just the rim of the glass in a little bit of the stout and then into a small shallow dish of white sugar.
  4. Build your layers. Break up the Lady Fingers to fit into the glass or dish. Then, quickly soak in the small dish of beer until they just start to soften. Place into bottom of glass, and then add in a few tsp of cream.
  5. Repeat for 3 layers ending with the cream on top. Chill for approximately 60-minutes or longer. And finally, sprinkle with a little bit of cocoa powder or shaved chocolate for serving.
And, while I'm doing this recipe LIVE tomorrow - this is a great addition to any Virtual Workshop! So if you run a brewery, or just happen to love a good stout - reach out to me today to see how we can work together to feature the drink that you love in a really new and refreshing way!

Cheers, and Happy International Beer Day, All!
