  • 1/4 cup Baileys liqueur

Preparation
  1. In a small saucepan, simmer Guinness until reduced to 1/3 cup. Pour into a medium bowl and let cool about 10 minutes.

  3. Add oil and one egg to the brownie mix and mix until well combined.
  4. Reserve about 1/2 cup of brownie mix, and spread the remainder into prepared pan.
  5. In a small bowl and using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffy.
  6. Beat in one egg and sugar until well combined, then beat in Baileys until just combined.
  7. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly atop brownie mix.
  8. With reserved brownie mix, add spoonfuls onto the cream cheese mixture, then use a table knife to swirl in a pattern.
  9. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until brownies are still slightly wiggly but not watery.
  10. Allow to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes, then lift parchment paper to remove and cool completely.
  11. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares, wiping knife between each cut for clean slices.
