Triple Chocolate Stout Beer Brownies Recipes

BEER BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
• Sift together the flour and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Add the salt and stir together.
• Meanwhile, add 2 inches of water to a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Place the chopped chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and set it over the saucepan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and set aside.
• Melt the 1 stick butter in a small saucepan or skillet over medium heat and continue to cook until it just turns golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Immediately pour the brown butter into the bowl of chocolate, scraping in the brown bits (to avoid overcooking the butter). Add the beer and stir together.
• Combine the eggs with both sugars in a large bowl. Beat together with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and shiny, about 2 minutes. Continue beating on low speed while adding the flour mixture and wet ingredients in alternating batches. Beat in the vanilla. Do not over mix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake until matte all over and a toothpick inserted in the center looks fudgy, but not wet, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting and serving.

GUINNESS STOUT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick foil.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
• Melt butter, bittersweet chocolate, and white chocolate chips in a double-boiler over very low heat, stirring constantly until melted. Remove from heat.
• 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.
• 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).
• 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.
• Let brownies cool, uncovered, to room temperature. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
• 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.
