- ¼ cup Irish porter or stout beer
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- 1
Pour beer into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat until reduced to 3 tablespoons, ~4 minutes. Smell it—it'll get darker and more concentrated.

Pour the chocolate mixture into a clean bowl and cool for 2 minutes.
- 4
Whip cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a separate bowl until soft peaks form, ~2 minutes.

Fold chocolate into whipped cream gently with a spatula until just combined—no streaks.

Divide between serving glasses or bowls. Top with cocoa powder or a tiny pinch of fleur de sel if you have it. Serve cold.
