Incredibly smooth chocolate whipped cream with a slight but definite Guinness malt taste. It’s just like the frothy head on a pint! This chocolate Guinness whipped cream is the ideal complement to any St. Patrick’s Day party, and it also makes an excellent dessert dip. Try it on top of Baileys Chocolate Pie!
I’m not Irish, but I do reside in the Boston region, where St. Patrick’s Day is the largest celebration of the year.
I once went to the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Southie when I was younger, and I will never attend again. It was entertaining, amusing, chilly, liquor-fueled, loud, and green, and there were a lot of bagpipes.
It’s one of those things you have to do once in your life, like New Year’s Eve in Times Square. So I did it, and I’m not going to do it again.
Instead, I’ll be snuggled up to a warm fire with a cup of Irish coffee topped with my ridiculously delicious chocolate Guinness whipped cream.

Key Ingredients
- sour cream This is the foundation for our whipped cream. Whipping cream may also be used.
- Mascarpone is a kind of cheese. Mascarpone cheese, my favorite ingredient for whipped cream and icing, gives richness and stability without being too sweet.
- Cake mix in dark chocolate Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Cake Mix is my favorite, but any dark chocolate cake mix would do.
- Guinness Remove any froth since you just want the dry stout for the recipe. And then reserve the remainder of the drink for yourself!
- granulated sugar This is optional, and I normally leave it out since I like foods that are less sweet.
How to make chocolate Guinness whipped cream
- Refrigerate or freeze a large mixing basin for at least 15 minutes.
- Mascarpone cheese and heavy cream should be put in a cold bowl and mixed on a low speed with a hand or stand mixer (aff link) until largely incorporated.
- Slowly raise the speed to high and whip until stiff peaks develop; this may take some time, so be patient!
- Remove the froth off the top of the Guinness and whisk until medium peaks appear.
- If you want it sweeter, add 1 tablespoon powdered sugar at a time, beating after each addition.
Heat treating the flour in the cake mix
If you are worried about the presence of germs in raw flour, you may immediately heat treat the cake mix by spreading it out on a baking sheet and toasting it for 5 minutes at 350F. Let it to cool before proceeding with the recipe card instructions.
Stable, but super creamy whipped cream
Doesn’t it resemble the foam head on top of a Guinness pint? I was quite pleased of myself since it was a pure accident that was entirely purposeful.
It’s quite creamy. SO DELICIOUS. Nonetheless, it retains enough stability and consistency to be piped onto cakes, cupcakes, brownies, a spoon, my face what? Don’t pretend you wouldn’t think about it.
Storage
Refrigerate this whipped cream in an airtight jar for up to 3 days; give it a quick rewhip before serving. My has never lasted that long since it is nearly always devoured on the first day!
What to pair with Guinness Whipped Cream
Stack it on top of your favorite cupcake recipe. Chocolate cupcakes or cake are a fantastic option!
Fruit dipped directly in its face, if whipped cream had a face. Several people put this in a large mixing bowl and serve it as a delightful dessert dip at gatherings!
For the prettiest and most delicious dessert, pipe it into shot glasses or beautiful dessert plates and garnish with chopped up Andes mints.
Pretzels. The pretzels are fantastic. You all know how much I like the combo of salty and sweet, and this is it.
So here’s the tl;dr:
- Creamy
- Fluffy
- Light as air chocolate taste.
- Subtly sweet with a distinct Guinness malt flavour
- The ideal way to commemorate St. Patrick’s Day.
May the luck of the Irish be with you!
FAQs
There is 4 cup Guinness in the whole batch, so it will not be tispy. Well, not in the case of this Guinness whipped cream recipe. There are just a few.
Heavy cream must have at least 36% milk fat, whereas whipping cream must have 30%-35% milk fat. You may use either for this recipe, but I prefer heavy cream for the best results.
American cream cheese has a considerably more acidic taste than mascarpone, which has a much more delicate and somewhat sweet flavor. Mascarpone is also softer, creamier, and more thick than cream cheese. Mascarpone spreads brilliantly if you dip a knife into a jar of it, similar how butter spreads.
Mascarpone is usually found in the deli department of my grocery store, with the cheeses, hummus, and meat goods.
If you can’t get Guinness, try another Irish Stout, such as Murphys or OHaras, or an Imperial Stout, such as Samuel Smiths. You may also go to your local brewery and inquire whether they make a Guinness-style stout.
