Irish Cream Espresso Brownies
Try this grown up spin on fudgy brownies for St. Patrick’s Day… Baileys Irish Cream mixed with espresso, chocolate chips. The result? A pan of smooth fudge brownies…. talk about an adult dessert! Besides packing this brownie with chocolate, the subtle notes of the Irish Cream and espresso make this a unique yet delicious brownie. The taste of mocha latte followed by Irish cream… so GOOD! It’s a perfect treat for St. Patrick’s Day or really any day of the year. If serving for St. Patrick’s Day, I recommend topping with green sprinkles to add a pop of festive green color for the holiday. Enjoy St. Patrick’s Day and as always, I love to hear how your brownies turn out!

- 0.5 cup All Purpose Flour

- 1.5 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips (I used Semi Sweet, but if you prefer Dark Chocolate or Milk Chocolate, that will be fine!)
- 1/3 cup Irish Cream (I used Bailey's, but use whatever brand you prefer.)
- Sprinkles, Flaky Sea Salt, and/or Powdered Sugar (Optional Toppings)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x9 pan with oil, line with parchment paper or only spray the pan with oil with you do not have parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, espresso and baking powder. Whisk. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the Irish Cream, eggs and vanilla. Whisk for about 30 seconds.
- Add the dry ingredients to the liquid mixture. Whisk together, but do not over mix. Recommend mixing on low settings for 30 seconds, or until batter is smooth.
- Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the brownie mixture into the 9X9 pan, on top of the parchment paper if you are using it.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes. Reminder – brownies will continue to cook a little bit while cooling. Check the brownies at 30 minutes, to see if they are done. (Take a toothpick and check to see if the middle of the brownie is done.) Let them cool completely. Roughly 1 – 2 hours. Top with sprinkles, powdered sugar, or flaky sea salt. Whatever you prefer!
- Simply Enjoy!
