As an accompaniment to dessert, beer is a well-matched partner. Take it one step further, and it doubles as a secret ingredient that adds a voluptuous quality to a large variety of desserts. Gourmands across the country are combining the country’s two most popular menu items — beer and ice cream — to create some of the most innovative desserts on menus today.

Santa Monica’s Abode Restaurant and Lounge serves the “study of chocolate” served with saffron chocolate mousse, hot cocoa, a chocolate “egg” and a cool serving of delicious homemade Guinness-flavored ice cream. Whist at the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica serves a Guinness cake made with Bailey’s Irish Cream ice cream, whiskey sauce and caramelized sugar.

Check out these sweet, alcohol-infused morsels and look out for more sugary combinations at other local dining locations.
