EQUIPMENT
Instructions
- BROWNIE: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper leaving excess to hang over two opposite sides for easy removal; set aside.
- In a large microwavable bowl, melt butter and 1 cup of chocolate chips on HIGH for 30 seconds, stir. Repeat for another 30 seconds, stir until fully melted. If larger than pea size pieces remain, you may repeat heat for 10 seconds then stir. Residual heat will melt any butter or chocolate smaller than the size of a pea.
- Whisk in both sugars and cocoa to cool the butter. Beat in Irish cream, vanilla, salt and 3 eggs vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in flour and remaining cup of chocolate chips. Keep folding and scraping sides of the bowl until flour is blended in with the cocoa. Batter will be very thick. Using an angled spatula, spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool to room temperature before adding Irish cream frosting.
- FROSTING: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, cocoa, Irish cream and vanilla until smooth. Add heavy cream and continue to beat cream mixture until stiff peaks form. Spread frosting over the room temperature brownies and sprinkle shaved chocolate. Cut into 16 squares. ENJOY!
