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
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth.
-
Add eggs, vanilla, and Baileys to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
-
Stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Don’t overmix.
-
Pour about 3/4 of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top.
-
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
-
Add egg, Baileys, and vanilla, and mix until creamy.
-
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie base in the pan and gently spread it evenly.
-
Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the top and use a knife or toothpick to swirl the two batters together.
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
-
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.
