Desserts Made with Beer

Recipes combining our two favorite things.

We've got a bit of a sweet tooth. A meal doesn't end until we see the dessert menu. We love adding our first love (beer) to our second love (dessert) and in doing so, came up with a bunch of fun recipes.

Chocolate lovers should try out our Chocolate Maple Porter Icebox Cake or this Peanut Butter Stout Cake. If you're looking for something a bit less decadent, go for these refreshing Shandy Ice Pops or this yummy Hard Cider Pudding.

Some Top Picks:

Stout Sticky Buns

These sticky buns are a beer-flavored twist on Erica's grandfather's pecan rolls made. While there was certainly no beer in his version, we think Papa would approve. Try out the recipe using our Cinnamon Swirl Stout.

Ice Box Cake

For this recipe, we blend some Chocolate Maple Porter into some homemade whipped cream and layer it over classic chocolate wafer cookies. While in the fridge, the richness of the porter soaks into the chocolatey cookies for a super fluffy, beer-filled, cookies and cream chilled dessert dream.

Shandy Ice Pops

When concocting our own shandy, we could think of no better way to combine the tartness of lemon, the essence of beer (in our case, the already citrus-packed Grapefruit Honey Ale), and the spirit of summer than in the form of a special adults-only ice pop. Plus it leaves one hand free for a pint.
