Course: Main
Servings: large tray - at least 12 servings
Prep Time: 20-30 minutes
Cook Time: 20-30 minutes
Ingredients:
- Tushkar Oatmeal Stout - two bottles
- dark chocolate - 230g
- white chocolate - 130g
- butter (unsalted) - 90g
- plain flour - 120g
- cocoa - 80g
- salt - ¼ teaspoon
- caster sugar - 200g
- eggs - 4 large
- chocolate chips - 150g
- vanilla essence - ¾ teaspoon
Instructions:
- Pre-heat oven to 200C/180C fan. Line an oven safe, high sided baking dish roughly 3x9inch with tin foil and grease well.
- First transfer the two bottles of Tushkar to a pan and simmer gently for around 15 minutes or until the beer has reduced by half, aiming for around 300ml of liquid for the brownies. Once reduced leave to cool. While the beer is reducing melt the dark chocolate, white chocolate and butter in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Be careful not to allow the bowl to touch the simmering water. Remove from heat once combined and leave to cool. Combine the dry ingredients, the flour, cocoa and salt. In a large bowl beat together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy then fold in the cooled, melted chocolate. Next fold the dry ingredients through the mix followed by the Tushkar reduction and vanilla. Mix gently but thoroughly, the final batter should have quite a runny consistency.
- Pour this mix gently into the lined baking dish, sprinkle over the chocolate chips and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes. The brownies are ready when the mix has risen slightly and set. Leave to cool if you have the willpower!
