Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (or your favorite homemade version)
- Ingredients required by the mix (usually eggs, oil, water)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Optional: extra chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Bake and let them cool completely.
- Beat softened butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar gradually, then mix in Baileys, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the Baileys buttercream evenly over cooled brownies. Chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to set the layer.
- Heat heavy cream until just simmering, pour over chocolate chips, and stir until smooth. Pour ganache over the buttercream layer and spread evenly.

Notes
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
- Let the brownies cool completely before adding the buttercream to prevent melting.
