Irish Cream Brownies – Fudgy, Boozy & Incredibly Easy

Why You’ll Love These Irish Cream Brownies

If you love brownies and Irish cream liqueur (like Baileys), you’re in for a treat! These brownies are ultra-chocolatey, soft in the center, and infused with Baileys Irish Cream in both the batter and the frosting. Ideal for adults who want something sweet with a twist.

Highlights:

  • Rich and chocolatey
  • Infused with Baileys Irish Cream
  • Easy one-bowl recipe
  • Great for St. Patrick’s Day, parties, and gifting
  • Optional Irish cream frosting for extra indulgence

Ingredients

For the brownies:

  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup (60ml) Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the Irish Cream frosting (optional):

  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.

2. Melt Chocolate and Butter

  • In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate until smooth.
  • Let cool slightly.

3. Mix the Batter

  • Stir in sugar, then eggs one at a time.
  • Add Baileys and vanilla.
  • Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix just until combined.

4. Bake

  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let cool completely before frosting.

5. Make the Frosting

  • Beat softened butter until creamy.
  • Add powdered sugar, Baileys, and a pinch of salt. Beat until fluffy.
  • Spread over cooled brownies. Garnish if desired.

Tips for Perfect Brownies

  • Don’t overmix the batter—just stir until everything is incorporated.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for deeper flavor.
  • Chill brownies before slicing for clean edges.
  • Want extra fudgy? Bake for 1–2 minutes less.

Variations

  • Add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter
  • Skip the frosting and drizzle with melted chocolate
  • For a boozier kick, brush cooled brownies with extra Baileys before frosting

Storage & Make Ahead

  • Store: In an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temp or 7 days in the fridge
  • Freeze: Freeze (frosted or unfrosted) for up to 2 months
  • Make ahead: Great for prepping a day before events

FAQs

Can I make these without alcohol?
Yes! Replace Baileys with Irish cream-flavored coffee creamer for a non-alcoholic version.

Can I double this recipe?
Absolutely. Use a 9×13-inch pan and adjust the baking time (30–35 minutes).

Is the frosting necessary?
No, they’re delicious with or without it. But the Irish cream frosting adds extra decadence.
