Introducing…The Guinness Brownie Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup dark cocoa powder (such as Hershey’s® Special Dark)

1/4 teaspoon salt 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (such as Ghirardelli®), chopped

3/4 cup white chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli®)

6 tablespoons butter at room temperature, cut into cubes

1 cup white sugar 4 eggs, room temperature

1 1/4 cups Irish stout beer (such as Guinness® Extra Stout), room temperature and foam skimmed off

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (such as Nestle® Toll House®)

1 tablespoon sifted confectioners’ sugar, or as needed

Directions

1) Place oven rack in the center position. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2) Whisk flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a bowl.

3) Melt bittersweet chocolate, white chocolate chips, and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Remove from heat.

4) Beat white sugar and eggs together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Slowly add melted chocolate mixture and beat until just combined. Add flour mixture, 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time, until just combined. Whisk in beer until batter is thin; fold in pecans.

5) Pour batter into the prepared baking dish; sprinkle semisweet chocolate chips over batter.

6) Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out with moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature; dust top with confectioners’ sugar.
