MAKES 12 Equipment A 9 by 9-inch square brownie pan, or any tin of roughly equal size. Greased and lined with baking paper. A stand mixer with a whisk attachment/ a large bowl, a whisk, and a strong arm. A medium, heavy bottomed saucepan.
Ingredients Baileys Brownie Base 375g unsalted butter 300g dark chocolate (70 per cent cocoa is best) 6 eggs, beaten 300g caster sugar 300g dark brown soft sugar 120g plain flour (or your favourite gluten-free alternative) 80g cocoa powder 1 tsp sea salt flakes 75ml Baileys Baileys Cheesecake Swirl 100g cream cheese 25g caster sugar 25g plain flour 1 egg yolk 50ml Baileys
Method 1. To make the Baileys brownie base: Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan). 2. Melt the butter in your saucepan over a medium heat, then add the chocolate and stir until melted. Set this mix aside. 3. Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, until they are thoroughly combined, and the mixture is lighter in colour. Pour in your melted butter and chocolate mixture, whisk until well combined. 4. Sift in flour and cocoa powder, then add the salt. Whisk to combine, you should have a smooth and glossy mix. 5. Pour this mix into your tin, smooth out and put aside while you make your cheesecake swirl. 6. To make the Baileys cheesecake swirl: Place all ingredients in a stand mixer with whisk attachment, or a medium bowl with a whisk and a strong arm. Whisk together until you have a smooth mixture. 7. Now bring it all together! Dollop your cheesecake mix onto the brownie base at gleeful intervals, then take a knife or skewer and swirl the cheesecake mix in to the brownie to your delight. 8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the edges of the pan are firm, but you have some wobble in the middle. Allow to cool thoroughly in the tin, if you cut it early it will be a gooey mess! 9. Serve with brandy butter, ice cream, or just eat out of the pan with a fork. It’s 2020, no-one is judging you!
