Crème Brûlée Stout is a great way to drink your dessert
My husband spotted crème brûlée stout by Southern Tier Brewing Company on a beer menu at at new local restaurant. Ordering it was a no brainer. We had to give it a try! The first thing we noticed as it arrived at our table was the smell. It smelled just like crème brûlée - a very unexpected scent when you stick your nose into a beer bottle.
The crème brûlée stout tasted like someone poured a ton of vanilla syrup into their beer. It was really sweet and very crème brûlée - like, but also definitely tasted like beer. Oddly enough, the combination was great! After we tried it, several other people at the table ordered their own. We drank ours with the meal, but you could just as easily have it for dessert on its own or as a beer float with some cinnamon ice cream.
I would definitely try it again. But maybe, I'll just pour some vanilla syrup into a regular stout instead. It would be cheaper.
Cooking With Liqueurs - Marmalade Sauce
The advantage of using Grand Marnier
in cooking is that the miniature bottles are readily available (at least they are in the UK). This
sauce recipe was given to me by a trainee chef I know with the suggestion it is served with créme
brûlée, poached fruit or a steamed pudding. I can't wait to give it a
try...
Marmalade-Liqueur Sauce
- 15g marmalade orange, lime or tangerine
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange-based liqueur
In a saucepan combine the first three ingredients. Bring to the boil over a moderate heat then reduce heat and simmer gently for just a couple of minutes. Remove from heat. If serving hot, stir in the Grand Marnier and serve immediately or allow to cool a little before adding the liqueur and serving.
If you have spalshed out on a full bottle, the Grand Marnier website offers six recipes you could play with. Or you could just drink it over ice...
