Either enjoyed on the rocks or as a boozy hot chocolate top-up, Baileys never fails to make you feel festive.
That said, why not go the extra mile this holiday season and bake a batch of Bailey Brownies? Check out this delicious recipe from our friends at The Bottle Club.
Ingredients :
For the brownies
220g (1 cup) caster sugar
150g (1 cup) all purpose flour
80g (⅓ cup) Baileys Cream Liqueur
70g (⅓ cup) dark chocolate
60g (¼ cup) butter
50g (½ cup) cocoa powder
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ ts bi-carbonate soda
Pinch of salt
For the chocolate frosting
150g (1 cup) icing sugar
45g Baileys Cream Liqueur
45g melted butter
25g (¼ cup) cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
Sea salt flakes
Method
Preheat your oven to 170 degrees.
In a saucepan, combine your butter and chocolate and heat until melted.
After allowing the mixture to cool slightly, transfer your melted ingredients to a bowl before adding and whisking through the eggs.
Add in your vanilla extract, sugar and Baileys and continue to whisk through.
Sift over the flour, cacao powder and bi-carbonate soda, before adding the salt and folding in the chocolate mixture.
Pour the mixture into your greased and lined baking tray and bake at 170 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Top tip: Allow your brownie mixture to cool for 20 minutes before frosting.
For the frosting, combine and whisk your vanilla extract, melted butter, icing sugar, cocoa powder, salt and Baileys Irish cream together in a bowl.
Spread the frosting over the brownies and sprinkle over your sea salt flakes for that finishing touch.
Cut your brownies into squares and allow your sweet treats to cool completely before tucking in.
