These Baileys Cheesecake Brownies combine two classic desserts — rich, chocolatey brownies and creamy cheesecake — with a boozy twist of Baileys Irish Cream. Swirled together and baked to perfection, they’re fudgy, decadent, and just a little bit fancy. Perfect for holidays, special occasions, or anytime you want to treat yourself.

Ingredients

Scale

For the brownie layer:

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup Baileys Irish Cream

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the cheesecake layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

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

  2. Make the brownie batter: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips until smooth. Remove from heat. Whisk in sugar, eggs, vanilla, and Baileys. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt just until combined. Set aside.

  3. Make the cheesecake layer: In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg, Baileys, and vanilla. Beat until fully combined and creamy.

  4. Assemble: Pour most of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, reserving about ¼ cup. Spread it out evenly. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the top and gently spread. Dollop the reserved brownie batter on top and swirl with a knife or skewer.

  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is just set. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

  6. Cool completely, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing for clean, fudgy squares.

Notes

  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer.

  • Want it extra boozy? Add a little more Baileys to the cheesecake layer — just reduce the sugar slightly.

  • Delicious with a dusting of cocoa powder or a drizzle of melted chocolate on top.
