Directions

  1. Mix digestive crumbs and butter together in a bowl. Pour into an 8-inch cake pan and press into an even layer over the bottom using the back of a spoon. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.

  2. Combine stout beer and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and the consistency of caramel, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. Beat heavy cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

  4. Whisk mascarpone cheese and honey together in a bowl. Fold in whipped cream and lemon juice.

  5. Combine water and gelatin sheets in a microwave-safe bowl. Let gelatin soften, about 5 minutes. Drain. Heat in the microwave until melted, about 10 seconds.

  6. Pour cooled beer mixture over the mascarpone mixture, add gelatin. Beat well until smooth. Spread over the digestive biscuit crust. Chill until set, at least 1 hour.

Recipe Note

Guinness® celebrated 250 years (1759 - 2009) in Ireland today. The place where I work has made a special Guinness menu for the day. I am a pastry chef, so I decided to make a Guinness® cheesecake.
