Preparation

Step 1

Put the cream, milk, sugar, salt, mascarpone, and cream cheese into a small saucepan. Over medium high heat, bring to a simmer, whisking constantly to dissolve the sugar and the cheeses. When the mixture has reached a gentle simmer, remove from the heat and whisk in the fontina. Continue whisking to melt the cheese and incorporate it, 1 to 2 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Discard the sieve contents. Pour into a shallow bowl and chill thoroughly.

When the mixture is cold, whisk in the beer. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and process, then transfer into a container and freeze until firm.
