How to Make Irish Coffee Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter or margarine. Stir in 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
- Remove from heat. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat lightly until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup milk and ¼ cup Irish whiskey. Stir in 1 teaspoon instant coffee crystals until dissolved.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) and the wet ingredients (milk mixture) alternately to the chocolate mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (it shouldn't be completely clean).
- Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- **For the Irish Coffee Glaze:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon Irish whiskey, 1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract, and 3-4 tablespoons of freshly brewed strong coffee until smooth and of drizzling consistency. Add more coffee, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once brownies are completely cool, frost with the Irish Coffee Glaze.
- Sprinkle with additional chopped nuts, if desired.
