Dublin Brownies Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Danadooley / All my dishes 7 months ago Don't have a drop of Irish in me but I imagine when they make brownies in Dublin, this would be the way they'd go (I hope). The idea is from Nigella Lawson's Guinness Chocolate cake which I've yet to try. Not sure how many servings this makes, I often eat half just by myself blush...

Ingredients

1 box Betty Crocker Fudge Brownie mix

3/4 of a cup Guinness (up to a full cup if you like a stronger taste)

3/4 of a cup oil

2 medium eggs

1 cup dark chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla extract

~~~~~~~~ FROSTING INGREDIENTS ~~~~~~~~

200 gm Philly cream cheese

100 gm full fat sour cream

1/3 of a cup lightly packed icing sugar (or to taste)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Set oven at 180 degrees C.

Grease and line a rectangular 8 by 12 inch baking tin.

In a large mixing bowl, combine brownie mix, Guinness, oil, eggs and vanilla. Stir with a whisk till thoroughly combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Scrape batter into tin and bake for 35 minutes. Do not overbake. It should be a little wet in the middle. Cool thoroughly.

Combine frosting ingredients in a large bowl and whisk till smooth and fluffy. Chill 1 hour.

Turn cool brownie onto a platter and cover top with frosting. Chill 1 hour then cut into squares. Serve. These brownies taste even better the next day. They should be kept refrigerated because of the dairy based frosting.

Now this is different.. for sure...
Do they taste like beer?

danadooley 7 months ago said:
LOL no sweetie. They taste surprisingly mellow, sweet and malty with a very slight, barely perceptible bitter, iron-like aftertaste. Even my kids like it and don't seem to mind the Guinness in it at all.

Sounds lovely.

Sounds great...but, I have zero Irish knowledge...what is Guiness? A type of beer or ale?

danadooley 7 months ago said:
Guinness is a dark beer and is also known as stout. It's made from basically the same stuff as beer, except the barley is specially roasted and there are other 'secret' processes that give it the distinctive deep, dark, rich, dry yet creamy flavour and maddening aroma that makes it stand apart from other beers. Lol, listen to me, you'd think I AM Irish!

I love cooking with Guinness - and these brownies will be appearing at my house within 24 hours. I have my crystal ball warmed up (and all the ingredients needed) and all signs point to Dublin Brownies in my tummy....very soon.

You rock, Dana baby - and this is one rockin' recipe! Thank you...thank you....and my crystal ball (and tummy) says...thank you... ;)

Recipe looks great. Never had Guinness until living in England but I love it with black currant cordial. Love your photos also.

aimee 7 months ago said:
Wow. That looks amazing. *drooling* I must make those.

lunasea 7 months ago said:
I made these last night, Dana bunnyboo - and they were wonderful. I brought most of them to work today, so I wouldn't feel compelled to eat them all and now everyone thinks I am the rock star of brownies - and a super swell gal. So, I thank you, my friends and coworkers thank you and my tummy thanks you. I wish I could give you another 5....or two. Great recipe!

Well, I'm Irish as well and this recipe looks like a winner to me!!! I'm going to be so sloshed with these recipes of yours Dana and I think that's what the Doctor ordered ;-) The funny thing is, he did order me to have a couple of good shots because I've had bronchitis and it's giving me a run for my money. Darn thing just won't leave and the Doctor told me to have a couple of stiff ones before I go to bed. Now that's a prescription I've never been given before.
P.S. Thanks for the tip with the chocolate chips!

Whenever my mum eats this, she complains that the chocolate chips are a bother to crunch through, though hubby and my boys love it. I could go either way. So, if you have the same objection as my mum, I'd suggest melting the chocolate chips and and cooling slightly before adding to the other ingredients.
