Delicate, dark, rich, and tempting brownies that no one can resist are made with what you would not expect: Guinness® beer. Oh so good. Ingredients:
cooking spray with flour |
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 9x13-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.
