Bake ultra-fudgy brownies spiked with Irish cream liqueur for a rich, grown-up holiday dessert. These treats carry the comforting depth of tradition with a bright, boozy twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup Irish cream liqueur, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the 1/2 cup of Irish cream liqueur and chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Once cool, drizzle with extra Irish cream liqueur before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
  • Chill the brownies before cutting for cleaner squares.
