Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Baileys Frosting

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream, as needed
  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure the brownies don’t stick and come out easily after baking.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition to incorporate air and create a smooth texture. Stir in the Baileys Irish Cream until fully combined with the batter.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt to remove lumps and aerate the mixture. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix gently just until combined to prevent overworking the batter, which can lead to tough brownies.
  4. Bake Brownies: Pour the prepared batter into your lined baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. After baking, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set properly before frosting.
  5. Prepare Baileys Frosting: Using a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until it reaches a creamy consistency. Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat the mixture to ensure it becomes smooth. Pour in the Baileys Irish Cream and beat until the frosting achieves a creamy smooth texture. If the frosting is too thick, add heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a spreadable consistency.
  6. Finish and Serve: Once the brownies have cooled completely, spread the Baileys frosting evenly over the top. Drizzle with the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips for an elegant finishing touch. Allow the frosting to set before slicing to ensure clean, neat pieces. Serve and enjoy your indulgent Baileys Irish Cream brownies.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients to maintain a tender brownie texture.
  • Cooling the brownies completely before frosting is important to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips drizzle with dark or milk chocolate according to preference.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate up to a week.
