Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 180 grams powdered sugar
- 113 grams unsalted butter (softened, for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 1 tablespoon milk (if needed, for thinning frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and Irish cream liqueur until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
For the frosting, beat the softened butter in a mixing bowl until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on low speed initially, then increasing to high speed once combined.
Mix in the Irish cream liqueur and vanilla extract until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Optionally, decorate with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your Irish Brownies with Irish Cream Frosting!
