Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).

Prepare a water bath by placing a baking dish in a larger pan and filling it with water halfway up the sides.

Beat cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.

Add Guinness stout to the cream cheese and mix until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until frothy.

Combine the egg mixture with the cream cheese mixture, mixing until smooth.

In a saucepan, heat heavy cream and milk until just simmering, then slowly add to the mixture while stirring.

Sift in cornstarch and mix until well incorporated.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Bake in the water bath for 45-50 minutes, or until set but slightly jiggly in the center.

Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.

Invert onto a serving plate and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
