Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 | Bittersweet chocolate |
| 1 | Butter |
| 1/2 | Sugar |
| 3/4 | Vanilla extract |
| 2 | Salt |
| 1/4 | Eggs |
| 3 | Flour |
| 1 | Irish cream |
| 1/3 | White chocolate |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (163Β°C).
-
-
Prepare the pan: Line an 8″ x 8″ baking pan with aluminum foil, ensuring at least 2 inches of overhang on all sides. This facilitates easy removal of the brownies and simplifies cleanup.
-
Melt chocolate and butter: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt the bittersweet chocolate and butter together, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
-
Combine ingredients: Whisk in the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt into the chocolate mixture. Then add the eggs one at a time, whisking until the mixture is shiny and smooth.
-
Incorporate flour: Gently whisk in the flour just until blended. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Pour batter: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
-
Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before proceeding.
-
Prepare the topping: In a saucepan, heat the Irish cream until it reaches a boil. Remove from heat and whisk in the white chocolate until completely melted and smooth. Refrigerate the mixture until it thickens enough to spread, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes.
-
Spread topping: Once thickened, spread the icing over the cooled brownies evenly.
-
Refrigerate: Place the brownies in the refrigerator until the icing sets and the brownies are chilled.
-
Serve: Before serving, let the brownies stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes to slightly soften. To cut, lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil overhang, peel off the foil, and cut into squares.
Enjoy your delightful Brownies with Irish Cream Icing! ππ«
