Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup (120ml) Baileys Irish Cream
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup (60ml) Baileys Irish Cream
- Shaved chocolate or cocoa powder (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your brownies bake evenly.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (115g) of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir gently until completely melted, about 3-5 minutes.
- Once melted, remove from heat and stir in 1 cup (200g) of granulated sugar until well combined.
- Next, add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the mixture. Whisk until the eggs are fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour in 1/2 cup (120ml) of Baileys Irish Cream and gently mix until incorporated.
- Grease an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the brownie batter into the pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- While the brownies are baking, prepare the ganache. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup (120ml) of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and add 1 cup (170g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup (60ml) of Baileys Irish Cream. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth.
- Once the brownies are out of the oven, let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before pouring the ganache over the top.
- Allow the brownies to set for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting. Cut into squares and garnish with shaved chocolate or cocoa powder, if desired.
