If you’ve been looking to make some brownies with a little bit of booze in them, you might consider baking these Baileys Irish Cream Brownies. Irish cream is a flavor that lends itself well to adding to sweet treats. And Irish Cream paired with chocolate is a delicious idea. If you’re not into the idea of adding any sort of alcohol to your brownies, then this is probably not the recipe for you. I have plenty of other brownie recipes that you can enjoy besides this one. But this recipe produces some pretty amazing-tasting brownies, so I suggest you give it a shot!
How to make Baileys Irish Cream Brownies:
This is a very simple recipe because it’s pretty much done all in one bowl. You’ll use a microwave-safe bowl to melt the butter and chocolate together. Then you’ll let that cool off slightly, add the rest of the ingredients (including a good amount of Irish Cream Liqueur) and that makes up your brownie batter! The brownies are baked for 40 minutes. They will be a little bit crackly on top. As soon as the brownies come out of the oven, you will brush them with a little more Irish Cream. If you don’t like to use the microwave (or don’t have one), you can melt the butter and chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
Irish Cream Frosting:
Don’t skip the frosting! It’s a really delicious addition to these brownies. The frosting is made up of butter, Irish Cream, whipping cream and powdered sugar, and those ingredients are heated together on the stove.
You’ll just scrape the warm frosting onto the brownies and spread it to the edges. These Irish Cream Brownies are easy to get out of the pan. Just grab the parchment paper, lift out the whole slab of brownies and move them to a cutting board.
Can you substitute any other liqueurs for the Irish Cream?
Yes! Try substituting Kahlua or Amaretto for the Irish Cream. If you have another flavor of liqueur that you enjoy, you can try that too. It should be a liqueur that you think would taste good when combined with chocolate.
So bake some boozy Irish Cream brownies today, and share them with your friends! You do taste the Irish Cream in the brownies, and the alcohol does not disappear when making these brownies… so these should probably be shared with adults-only. Enjoy!
