Beer and pretzels have gone together since the days when bar owners gave out free pretzels to make the patrons extra thirsty. Little did those saloon keepers know that they were on to such a huge flavor sensation! With Oktoberfest on the horizon, I decided to play with this combination and make a super tasty dessert featuring Guinness and pretzels. Salted ice cream is becoming more and more popular so I knew I might be on to a winner. And my Guinness Ice Cream in Pretzel Cups were actually a bigger success than I had imagined. I served these one night after dinner with some friends and they were a huge hit. The ice cream by itself is fantastic, but when you serve it like this and take a bite with all of the elements, it is a dessert worthy of any 5 star restaurant.
