Ingredients
For the Bailey’s Brownies:
200gButter
200gDark ChocolateBroken into Squares
125mlIrish Cream
250gCaster Sugar
4Medium Eggs
150gPlain Flour
60gCocoa
For the Ganache:
60gWhite Chocolate
30gBailey’s Thick Cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees (fan-assisted) and line a deep baking tray.
Melt the butter and dark chocolate together using a Bain Marie and leave to one side.
Whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy – This can take 5 minutes with an electric whisk.
Stir the Irish Cream into the melted chocolate and butter.
Pour this into the eggs and sugar and gently stir until the colour is even.
Sift in the flour and cocoa and stir until smooth.
Pour into the baking tray and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the brownies are coming away from the sides and the centre no longer wobbles.
Leave in the tin to cool completely before removing and slicing into squares.
Optional – If you want to decorate, melt the white chocolate and Bailey’s cream together using a Bain Marie. Drizzle over still warm brownies with a spoon or using a piping bag.
Notes
My tray is 15 inches by 10 inches and about an inch deep.
Store-bought Irish Cream is fine.
Mix the flour in gently, and only until smooth. It’s better to undermix slightly than overmix.
Your Bailey’s Brownies are finished when the sides are coming away from the edges of the tin, and the centre is no longer wobbly.
