Instructions

• Crumble the Chocolate Irish Stout Cake into bite-size pieces, into a large bowl. Depending on how many you plan on serving, have ready 6 – 10 pint or half-pint glasses. Place 1/4 cup of the cake crumbles in each glass.

  
• Drizzle some of the Irish Whiskey-Smoked Caramel Sauce over the cake crumbles and then spoon a few scoops of the Irish Cream Mousse on top. Sprinkle a few of the Irish Stout Soaked Currants and a half-teaspoon of any of the leftover Stout.

  
• Repeat with all the glasses, creating 3 layers in each glass. Wrap with plastic wrap if not serving right away. These can be made 24 hours in advance (refrigerated) and get better with time, as all of the flavors fuse together.
