Ingredients
For the Brownie Layer:
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1 cup dark chocolate chips
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup cocoa powder
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cheesecake Layer:
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/3 cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
2. For the brownie layer: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the dark chocolate chips until smooth.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Then, sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Mix until just combined.
5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
6. For the cheesecake layer: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth.
7. Mix in the egg, Baileys Irish Cream, and vanilla extract until well blended.
8. Dollop the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer. Use a knife to gently swirl the two layers together for a marbled effect.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
10. Remove from the oven and let the dessert cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Notes
– Ensure the dessert cools completely before slicing to allow the layers to set.
– Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with an extra touch of Baileys sauce for an enhanced presentation.
– Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
