Here's an easy favorite -- Guinness Chocolate Silk Pie. You can use any stout, of course, but Guinness is easily available and so very Irish! I make a chocolate cookie crust, but you can use a graham cracker crust or a vanilla wafer crust.
So many great ways to use Guinness with Chocolate. I think the stout brings out the chocolate.

Top O the Morning to you! This Guinness Chocolate Silk Pie looks so good that I will take a glass of Irish Whiskey with it instead of a cool tall glass of milk.
