Ingredients

Bailey Brownie Recipe:

  • 1 box fudge brownie mix*
  • 3 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs

Baileys Ganache:

  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 ounces Baileys Irish cream
  • 2 ounces heavy cream
  • For serving:

Chocolate Drizzle:

  • 2 tablespoons melted dark chocolate melting wafers optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. Place the brownie mix, Irish cream, oil, and eggs into a large bowl, mix per the directions on the back of the box.
  3. Add the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top. Bake for 22-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the side comes out clean. Or bake per the directions on the back of the box. Let cool completely.
  4. While the brownies are cooling, make the ganache. Place the chocolate chips in a medium-sized heat proof bowl, set aside.
  5. Place the Baileys and heavy cream into a small sauce pan, stir occasionally until it just comes to a simmer. Pour this over the chocolate chips and cover the bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  6. Whisk until smooth. Let the ganache sit at room temperature until it is firm. You can also place it in the fridge for about 1 hour.
  7. Place the ganache into a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or the body of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment and whip until it becomes light and fluffy.
  8. Lift the brownies out of the baking dish by the parchment paper and spread the ganache evenly over the brownies.
  9. Cut into servings, then drizzle with optional melted dark chocolate. Serve.

Recipe Notes

*Use your favorite boxed brownie mix or homemade brownie recipe as long as it bakes 9x13 baking dish. Substitute the water in the boxed brownie mix with Baileys; if your mix calls for a different amount of water other than 3 tablespoons. You want to make an even swap of Baileys for the water in the recipe.
