Black and Tan Sweet "Beer" Dessert
From "Iron Chef" and author, Cat Cora
January 25, 2008

There's not really any beer in this dessert. A pilsner glass "bowl" and some sweet styled treats make this a great way to top off a meal at a party. From Food Network and Iron Chef America mainstay, Cat Cora, on Good Morning America.

Black and Tan Sweet 'Beer' Dessert

Ingredients

1 cup butterscotch pudding

1/2 cup hot fudge sauce

1 small chocolate cake or cupcake

1 bag chocolate covered peanuts

1 pint heavy whipping cream

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Directions

In a large pilsner glass, put the butterscotch pudding into the bottom 1/2. Then a spoonful of hot fudge goes on top. Place a large piece of the chocolate cake on the next layer and sprinkle a tablespoon of the chopped peanuts on top of the cake. Fill the rest of the glass with hot fudge, making sure to cover the cake and peanuts. Leave a 1/2-inch space from the top of the glass empty.

Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks and spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of cream on top, letting it slide down the glass like the "foam" on a beer. Bottoms up!
