Ingredients
  

For the Baileys Brownie
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (168g)
  • 1 cup sugar (207g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour (98g)
  • 6 tbsp natural unsweetened cocoa (43g)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
For the Baileys Fudge
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (120ml)
  • 1 3/4 cups semi sweet chocolate chips (11 oz | 312g)
  • 5 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream (75ml)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Topping
  • 6 oz chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp shortening

Equipment

  • 9x9 inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Saucepan
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C). Grease a 9x9 baking pan or line it with parchment paper or aluminum foil. This will help you remove the brownies easily.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and Baileys Irish Cream.
  3. Add the eggs and mix until well combined.
  4. In another medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. While the brownies bake, prepare the fudge. Combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, Baileys Irish Cream, and vanilla extract in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water).
  9. Stir the mixture constantly until everything is melted and smooth. Then, carefully spread the fudge evenly over the baked brownies.
  10. For the topping, combine the chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate and shortening are melted and smooth.
  11. Spread the melted chocolate topping into an even layer over the fudge.
  12. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set for 4-5 hours.
  13. Once set, cut the brownies into bars. Store the brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed within 3-4 days, but can last up to 5-6 days.
