Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Packed light brown sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Irish cream liqueur
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, allowing a slight overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring consistently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and Irish cream liqueur.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for fudgy brownies.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, use the parchment paper to lift them out of the pan.
For an optional garnish, dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing into squares or rectangles.
Serve and enjoy your rich and indulgent Irish Cream Brownies!
