There are those moments, at the close of a particularly long day, when the craving for something sweet becomes undeniable. And let’s be honest, for many of us, that “sometimes” really means almost all the time.
As the vibrant energy of spring gradually gives way to the sun-drenched days of summer, I’ve crafted the perfect mouthwatering solution to satisfy those dairy-free dessert desires: the sensational Boozy Chocolate Peanut Butter Float. Imagine a delicious celebration encapsulated in a single glass, offering both refreshment and a hint of adult indulgence.
If your heart beats for the rich allure of chocolate, the creamy delight of ice cream, and the occasional robust character of a cold beer, then prepare to fall in love with this unique concoction. It’s a symphony of flavors and textures designed to elevate your dessert experience.
Crafting the Ultimate Dairy-Free Boozy Chocolate Peanut Butter Float
The inspiration for this decadent treat stemmed from a desire to do something truly special with a hearty Irish Stout beer, perhaps anticipating future travel adventures. While a straightforward pint of stout is enjoyable, I sought to transform it into something extraordinarily luscious. The answer lay in combining it with the smooth, rich depths of Coconut Bliss non-dairy ice cream. The outcome? A wonderfully innovative and utterly delightful dairy-free ice cream recipe that brings together unexpected elements into a harmonious dessert.
The final creation is a refreshingly cool, deeply chocolatey, and wonderfully boozy delight. It’s the ideal indulgence for ushering in those anticipated warmer days, or simply for adding a splash of sunshine and cheer to any moment, regardless of the weather outside. Picture yourself unwinding with this exquisite float, letting its unique blend of flavors transport you to a state of pure bliss.
At the heart of this dairy-free ice cream float is the robust character of a hearty stout beer. Its inherent richness and subtle roasted notes are beautifully brightened by the incredibly cold and creamy texture of Coconut Bliss dairy-free ice cream, featuring the universally adored combination of chocolate and peanut butter. To elevate this further, I whipped up a quick and easy homemade dairy-free chocolate syrup, perfect for generously drizzling over the top. This simple addition ties all the magnificent flavors together, creating an even more profound taste experience.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of this particular chocolate syrup is its magical transformation. Within moments of cascading over the chilled ice cream, it gracefully hardens, reminiscent of the beloved “magic shell” syrups from our childhood. This unexpected textural contrast – the firm, snappy chocolate coating against the creamy, melting ice cream and effervescent stout – adds an extra layer of fun and delight to every sip and spoonful. It’s a nostalgic touch that makes this adult treat even more special.
So, what’s not to adore about this combination? Cold, dark beer mingling with the lusciousness of chocolate peanut butter dairy-free ice cream, all crowned with a delectable, hardening chocolate syrup. It’s truly a trifecta of bliss.

Each substitute offers a unique variation while retaining the delicious essence of a chocolate peanut butter float.
Boozy Chocolate Peanut Butter Float Recipe
Boozy Chocolate Peanut Butter Float
Ingredients
- 1 pint dark Irish stout beer
- 2-4 scoops Coconut Bliss Chocolate Peanut Butter Dairy-Free Ice Cream
- chocolate syrup drizzle
Chocolate Syrup Drizzle
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup almond milk
Instructions
-
Begin by preparing the delectable chocolate syrup. Place the dairy-free chocolate chips into a heat-proof bowl. Melt the chips in a microwave, heating them in short 30-second increments and stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Once melted, add the almond milk to the chocolate and whisk continuously until the mixture is perfectly smooth and all ingredients are well combined. Set this luscious syrup aside to cool slightly.
-
To assemble your indulgent Boozy Chocolate Peanut Butter Floats, take two serving glasses. Carefully pour half a can of your chosen dark stout beer into each glass. Next, gently scoop the Coconut Bliss Chocolate Peanut Butter Dairy-Free Ice Cream into each glass. I recommend 2 scoops per glass for a balanced flavor, but feel free to adjust the quantity to your personal preference – whether you desire more or less ice cream. Finally, generously drizzle the prepared chocolate syrup over the top of each float. Serve immediately and savor every rich, creamy, and bubbly sip.
