Indulge in these ultra-fudgy brownies topped with a creamy Baileys Irish Cream buttercream frosting. Perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any occasion that calls for rich chocolate decadence with a boozy twist.
Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Sift together the flour and salt; set aside.
Place the butter and chopped chocolate in a saucepan and melt over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and stir the sugar into the chocolate mixture; let cool for 3 minutes.
Pour the chocolate mixture into your mixer's bowl and beat in the eggs, one at a time.
Mix in the Baileys Irish Cream until well combined.
Stir in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon just until combined.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan on wire rack completely before frosting.
Buttercream Frosting
Place all frosting ingredients (softened butter, powdered sugar, and Baileys) in a large bowl and blend with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Spread the frosting evenly on top of the cooled brownies.
Slice into squares and serve. For clean cuts, chill for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality chocolate and real Baileys Irish Cream. Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. These are perfect for gifting!
