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.

Why You’ll Love These Guinness Punch Ice Cream Sandwiches

• Caribbean flavor in every bite
• No-churn ice cream recipe (no machine needed!)
• Perfect make-ahead dessert for BBQs, parties, or cozy nights in
• A delicious way to use Guinness in dessert

Think rich cheesecake ripple, creamy Guinness Punch ice cream, and soft Shirley Biscuit cookie sandwiches that hold it all together.

Key Ingredients You’ll Need

• Guinness Extra Stout: the backbone of that deep, rich flavor

• Sweetened condensed milk, for creamy, sweetness

• Heavy cream – to whip up that luscious texture
• Spices – nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt
• Cream cheese – to swirl in that tangy cheesecake goodness
• Shirley Biscuits: any flavor you like

Tip: Use cookies that stay soft even when frozen — they’ll be easier to bite into!

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.
