Guinness Cheesecake Brownie Parfait

Guinness and cocoa...who knew this was a match made in heaven, or maybe made in Ireland?
The brown sugar takes care of any potential bitterness there might have been from the stout leaving just a rich creamy cocoa mousse.

Ingredients:
8 oz (227 g) cream cheese
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 tbsps cocoa powder
1/2 cup Guinness stout beer
237 ml cold whipping cream

An 8 X 8" pan of brownies  (Ideally made with Guinness or use the equivalent of an 8 X 8" in cutoffs from a previous recipe, say from Valentine's day) See at the end of this post for both a Guinness Brownie recipe and the Fudgy Valentine Brownies that I kept the cutoffs from (frozen since February of course.)

Cool Whip to top
And green sprinkles!

_______________

Before starting make sure to chill the bowl and whisk that you will use.

Cream the cream cheese, brown sugar and cocoa powder together. Once combined drizzle in the Guinness on medium speed then stream in the whipping cream. Turn up the speed and whip until peaks form and hold.

This is seriously tasty, and not beer tasting at all!.

Using pilsner glasses, you know because they're beer glasses, start layering the cheesecake mousse and cake.

Top with cool whip, like the froth on your Guinness, and some green sprinkles.....

"My goodness, My Guinness!"

Happy St Patrick's Day!
