Guinness And Jameson Baked Beans Food

GUINNESS BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 of the sides. Spray the parchment with cooking spray.
• Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder and kosher salt in a medium bowl until combined.
• Slowly pour the Guinness into a medium saucepan, trying to make as little foam as possible. (Hold the pot at an angle and press the lip of the bottle to the side of the pot and slowly pour. This should help eliminate foam.) Bring the beer to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened and reduced to 1/3 cup, 12 to 13 minutes (you may need to pour the beer into a liquid measuring cup a few times to make sure it is reduced enough). Add the butter and whisk constantly until melted, about 1 minute. Add the bittersweet chocolate and whisk constantly until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the granulated sugar until combined. Whisk in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined. Add the flour mixture and stir slowly until combined, taking care that none of the flour spills out of the pot. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
• Bake until set on top, the brownies have slightly pulled away from the sides and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes. Sprinkle the flaky sea salt on top.
• Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then use the parchment overhang to remove the brownies from the pan to a cutting board and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Use a fine-mesh sieve to sprinkle the confectioners' sugar on top of the brownies and slice into 16 squares.

GUINNESS AND JAMESON BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Dice up the salt pork and saute until brown.
• Remove the pork and put into the crock pot, leaving the grease in the pan.
• Saute the onions and garlic in the pork fat until brown.
• Remove the onions and garlic to the crock pot.
• Brown the sausage and add it to the crock pot.
• Add the rest of the ingredients to the crock pot.
• Cook on low for at least 12 hours, but I prefer 24 hours.

GUINNESS, BAILEYS, AND JAMESON WHISKEY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Combine the Guinness and butter (chopped into one-inch chunks) in a large saucepan and heat to melt butter.
• 2. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa and sugar.
• 3. In a bowl, whisk the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla, then add to the Guinness mixture.
• 4. Sift together the flour and baking soda, and fold into Guinness batter. Pour into muffin tins and bake for 25 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes, remove from muffin tins and cool completely on a rack.
• 5. FOR GANACHE: Place the chocolate in a heat-safe bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until simmering, then pour over the chocolate. Let sit for one minute then whisk until smooth. If the chocolate is not completely melted, place bowl over a double boiler. Add the butter and Baileys and stir until combined. Set aside and cool until thick enough to be piped.
• 6. Meanwhile, cut out a portion from the center of each cupcake.
• 7. Pipe ganache into cupcakes.
• 8. FOR FROSTING: Put the stick of room-temperature butter in a large mixing bowl and beat at medium-to-high speed for a few minutes. Add a few short glugs (4-8 Tbsps) of Baileys and tiny bit of Jameson (to taste) and mix at a low speed. Gradually spoon the confectioner's sugar into the bowl, mixing on low speed. Frost the cupcakes as desired or use a piping bag to decorate.
