What Is Guinness Punch?

Guinness Punch is a popular Caribbean drink made with Guinness stout, condensed milk, nutmeg, and vanilla. It’s creamy, sweet, spiced, and slightly bitter and absolutely addictive. Every island has their own twist, but the base remains the same: bold, comforting, and rooted in culture. This recipe reimagines that iconic flavor and transforms it into an ice cream base that gets layered between soft cookies and a swirl of cheesecake.

How to Make Guinness Punch Cheesecake Ice Cream Sandwiches

Step 1: Whip the Ice Cream Base

Whip heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks

Step 3: Add the Cheesecake Swirl

Fold softened cream cheese using a spatula into the heavy cream and add spices. Using your mixer, add condensed milk and guinness. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4: Freeze

Pour into a loaf pan, cover, and freeze for 6–8 hours or overnight.

Step 5: Assemble the Sandwiches

Once firm, dip your knife into hot water, assemble the top layer of cookies, then scoop and sandwich between two cookies. Freeze again until set or enjoy immediately for a softer bite.

Storage Tips

Wrap each sandwich individually in parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks. But let’s be real, they won’t last that long!

Ingredients

Equipment needed: Either a stand mixer or hand mixer

1 pint of Heavy Whipping Cream
1 block of softened cream cheese
1 tbsp Vanilla Essence
1 tsp Rose Water
1 tbsp Almond Essence
1 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 cup of unsweetened Coconut Milk
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
11 oz of Guinness Extra Stout (1/2 a bottle)
4 packages of Shirley Biscuits (any flavor you like)

Directions:

Grab a medium sized mixing bowl and add a pint of heavy whipping cream. Mix on high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take approximately 5 minutes.
Next, using a spatula, fold in the softened cream cheese
Add rose water, vanilla essence, and almond essence
Add coconut milk, and using your mixer, mix until well combined
Add condensed milk and continue to mix for 30 seconds
Add Guinness and mix for another 30 seconds
Lay parchment paper first with enough sticking out so all you have to do is lift the ice cream out of the container. Pour into a freezer safe container and freeze overnight
Once ice cream mixture has frozen, assemble the top layer by placing biscuits approximately half an inch from each other. (See photo below)
Next, use a knife to cut the sandwiches into squares, and add the bottom cookie layer.
