Why We Love these Irish Cream Chocolate Boozy Brownies

Irish Cream Chocolate Boozy Brownies, I’m seriously thinking, these are what you need in your life for several reasons.

First of all, we’ve got booze in those thar brownies !

Do we need other reasons?  Baileys Irish Cream is so deliciously good with coffee, over ice, with drinks and of course, we can’t leave it out of dessert!  It was meant to be. Damn it! We know this!  (Liquor makes me cuss as you can see?)  

This delicious, creamy beverage is a blend of whiskey, cream, and sugar, typically made with a base of Irish whiskey. Ready to pour and enjoy, Irish Cream gives a smooth and luxurious experience to any dessert.

What Are Irish Cream Chocolate Boozy Brownies?

These rich chocolate brownies are stuffed with milk and dark chocolate chunks, and then the top of the brownies are sprinkled with bountiful slivers of more milk and dark chocolate with the addition of Irish cream!

Besides the Baileys Irish cream being in the brownies and frosting, the frosting is buttery, creamy, chocolatey and it has cream cheese in it too, so you know it’s going to be good!  They are more than good, they’re amazing!

If you think you’ll get a buzz off this Irish Cream Brownies Recipe, you won’t.  So sorry for that, we’re really just going for the Baileys Irish Cream flavor in these brown-browns!  

There’s not enough Baileys in this recipe to get you drunk, even if you ate all the brownies in one sitting.  However, you would still taste that lovely Irish cream flavor come through, which is what this brownie recipe is all about, the Irish cream flavor! 

AND…If you want a little more (Baileys Irish Cream is an Irish whiskey and cream-based liqueur, made by Gilbeys of Ireland), you could always add more to the frosting, and I wouldn’t blame you one bit! 

As for the buzz factor, you’ll have to sip some on the side if you want a little buzz! ha!

How to Make Baileys Irish Cream Buttercream Frosting

1. Using a mixer, mix the cream cheese and butter together and mix on medium speed until smooth. Add the powdered sugar a cup at a time and then increase speed to medium-high and beat for one or two minutes, or until creamy and fluffy.
2. Stir in the Irish cream and mix.
3. Frost brownies, add some chocolate slivers or shaved chocolate on top and place in fridge, then remove by sliding knife down the sides of brownies and pull up the parchment paper and place brownies on cutting board.
