Servings: 16 brownies
Ingredients
Brownies
- 200 g unsalted butter
- 200 g dark chocolate (chopped)
- 4 medium eggs
- 275 g caster sugar
- 100 ml Baileys
- 100 g plain flour
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 200 g milk chocolate chips
Baileys Ganache
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 200 ml Baileys
Instructions
Brownies
- Preheat your oven to 180ºc/160ºfan and line a 9″ square baking tray with parchment paper.
- Melt together the unsalted butter and dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of boiling water, or in the microwave for short bursts until melted.
- Leave to the side to cool to room temperature.
- Using an electric whisk/stand mixer, whisk together the eggs & caster sugar for a few minutes until the colour has turned pale, is very mousse like, and is double the original volume of the amount of eggs + sugar!
- When whisked, pour the cooled chocolate mix & all of your Baileys over the egg and caster sugar mix and fold together carefully. It might take some time, but be patient – you don’t want to knock out the air you made up on the previous step!
- Add the cocoa powder and plain flour on top of the chocolate mix and then fold together again – still being careful to not knock out the air!
- Once combined well, fold through the chocolate chips.
- Pour into your prepared tin and smooth over.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until there is an ever so slight wobble in the middle.
- Once baked, leave to cool in the tin completely.
Baileys Ganache
- Add the dark chocolate and baileys into a jug
- Heat on a low heat in the microwave (or in a pan), and stir often until smooth.
- Spread the ganache onto the brownies and then set the brownies in the fridge overnight for best results.
Notes
- I used normal flavoured Baileys in this recipe, but you could easily use any flavour that you want such as the chocolate one! Or any other alternative Irish alcoholic cream!
- These will last in an airtight container for 1 week, but I very much doubt they will last that long.
- You can just slap on the frosting and then cut the squares, but I wanted mine to look neater as they were for a party!
- I used this 9″ square masterclass tin
- Recipe updated June 2022 - original recipe used a chocolate baileys frosting using 135g unsalted butter, 275g icing sugar, 25g cocoa powder and 3tbsp baileys.
