This recipe is lovingly sponsored by Kerrygold, makers of my favorite ingredients when baking! I did a thing. I made a small batch of brownies, a small pot of pudding laced with Irish cream, and layered it all together. I did a whipped cream and chocolate shaving thing on top, too. I did it all before 8am, and decided I deserved a little Irish cream in my coffee. On a Thursday. (Almost Friday, right?) I have zero regrets about this brownie trifle with Irish Cream. As you guys know, I’ve got a deep love for Kerrygold products. I started blogging in 2010 and that same year, we started working together. The past 7 years have been so wonderfully buttery and cheesy. And then, Kerrygold did a thing. They started making Irish Cream Liqueur with their grass-fed dairy and real chocolate! It was like I didn’t know my life could get any better, and then IT DID.
How to make brownie trifle with Irish Cream pudding:
Start by baking my small-batch brownies in a loaf pan:
After letting the brownies cool completely, chop them into cubes (resist the urge to use a heart-shaped cutter…it’s hard, I know). Make a small batch of vanilla pudding, but leave out the vanilla–Kerrygold Irish Cream Liqueur is going to bring all the flavor we need.
Finally, layer the brownie cubes and pudding in two small dishes. These are actually water glasses, and I love them. Let the brownie trifle sit in the fridge for a few hours (up to overnight). Before serving, whip some cream with powdered sugar. A little dollop of whipped cream (and chocolate shavings) on top of each brownie trifle brings so much to the party.
And the good news is, with the rest of the bottle of Irish Cream Liqueur, you can have a brunch party this weekend!
