CHOCOLATE PORTER BEER FLOAT SHOTS


What do you do with some Frozen Pints Craft Beer Ice Cream and a bottle of Hanger 24 Chocolate Porter? You make Chocolate Porter Beer Float Shots!


Frozen Pints sent me several varieties of their Craft Beer Ice Cream, among them was their Brown Ale Chip and their Malted Milk Chocolate Stout and, since beer floats are kind of a thing lately I bought a bottle of Hanger 24 Chocolate Porter and made a duo of Beer Float Shots.


And before you cringe, try them! I'm  not a real beer fan and I loved them both! The Chocolate Chip was my favorite of the two, but I'm really fond of malt balls so that one went down pretty easy too.

Both are really simple, simply delicious and easy to make. The ingredients for each are below and the directions are just below that.

CHOCOLATE CHIP BEER FLOAT
Frozen Pints' BROWN ALE CHIP Ice Cream
Hanger 24 Chocolate Porter
GARNISH: Cacao Nibs

MALTED MILK BEER FLOAT
Frozen Pints' MALTED MILK CHOCOLATE STOUT Ice Cream
Hanger 24 Chocolate Porter
GARNISH: Chocolate Malt Balls, Crushed

TOOLS: Shooter glasses (or a pint glass for full size float), Melon Baller (or an ice cream scoop for full size ones.)

DIRECTIONS for BOTH:
Fill your shooter (or pint glass) HALF full with the Chocolate Porter, pouring down the side of the glass to keep the head minimal.
Allow the head to settle for a minute then scoop 2 balls of ice cream with the melon baller (shooter) or the ice cream scoop (full size).
Sprinkle on the garnish and enjoy!

If you're looking for an unusual dessert these would be a perfect surprise for guests. Serve them up with some chocolate chip cookies or brownies and you have an easy, unusual adult treat.
