Guinness Stout Brownies

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick foil.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.

3. 3

   Melt butter, bittersweet chocolate, and white chocolate chips in a double-boiler over very low heat, stirring constantly until melted. Remove from heat.

4. 4

   In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add melted chocolate mixture, beating until combined.

5. 5

   Beat reserved flour mixture into melted chocolate mixture. Whisk in Guinness stout beer. The batter will seem a bit thin. Drop semisweet chocolate chips evenly on top of batter (some will sink in).

6. 6

   Pour into prepared baking pan. Bake 30 to 40 minutes on center rack in the oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.

7. 7

   Let brownies cool, uncovered, to room temperature. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

8. 8

   Note: The Guinness should be at room temperature. This recipe uses a little less than a standard 12-ounce bottle of Guinness stout beer. Do not include foam in the measurement. Either spoon off the foam or let it rest until the foam subsides.
