Description

These Baileys Cheesecake Brownies combine rich, fudgy chocolate brownie layers with a creamy Baileys Irish Cream-infused cheesecake swirl. They’re perfect for special occasions, holidays, or whenever you’re craving a grown-up dessert with a boozy twist!

Ingredients

For the Brownie Layer:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/3 cup Baileys Irish Cream

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Cheesecake Layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth.

  3. Add eggs, vanilla, and Baileys to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

  4. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Don’t overmix.

  5. Pour about 3/4 of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top.

  6. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.

  7. Add egg, Baileys, and vanilla, and mix until creamy.

  8. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie base in the pan and gently spread it evenly.

  9. Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the top and use a knife or toothpick to swirl the two batters together.

  10. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  11. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • For best results, chill the brownies for at least 1 hour after cooling. This helps the cheesecake layer firm up.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

  • You can use any Irish cream liqueur if Baileys isn’t available.
