Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Choose high-quality cocoa powder for a deep chocolate flavor; it makes all the difference in the brownie base.
Granulated Sugar: Regular white sugar works best here, balancing sweetness and richness beautifully.
Eggs: Fresh eggs help bind the ingredients together and provide moisture; room temperature eggs mix better!
Butter: Use unsalted butter for more control over the seasoning; melt it for a fudgy brownie texture.
Cream Cheese: Ensure it’s softened to room temperature before mixing; this will create that smooth cheesecake filling.
Baileys Irish Cream: This is the star of the show! Use your favorite brand for maximum flavor impact.
Vanilla Extract: A splash enhances the overall flavor profile—don’t skip it!
Powdered Sugar: This gives your cheesecake filling sweetness without grittiness; sift if needed to avoid lumps.
Chocolate Chips (Optional): Fold some into the brownie batter or sprinkle on top for an extra chocolaty treat.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal later.

Prepare the Brownie Base: In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring until fully mixed.

Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in chocolate chips now. They add extra texture and gooeyness that will make your brownies even more delightful!

Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes. Look for a set edge and slightly soft center—trust me; they will firm up as they cool.

Create Your Cheesecake Filling: While your brownies cool, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and Baileys Irish Cream until creamy. Taste it to ensure it’s sweet enough and has that lovely Irish cream flavor.

Assemble Your Bites: Once brownies are cooled completely, spread the cheesecake mixture over them evenly. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour to let those flavors meld beautifully.

Now that you’ve made these scrumptious Baileys Cheesecake Brownie Bites, slice them into squares or use cookie cutters for fun shapes! Enjoy sharing (or keeping them all to yourself) these delightful treats that are sure to impress anyone lucky enough to snag one!
