Time 45m

Yield 24 2 inch squares, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup unsalted butter, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons freshly ground coffee (use decaf if you're concerned about caffeine!)
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup sliced almonds, skin on
1 tablespoon melted butter, warm
2 tablespoons Irish whiskey
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, and line with parchment. (If you don't have parchment, you can use PAM with good results as well).
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • Melt the 2 cups of butter, and pour into a mixing bowl with brown sugar, ground coffee, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Stir in eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Stir in flour mixture until just combined.
  • Pour batter into pan, and sprinkle with almonds.
  • Bake 27 - 30 minutes, depending on how chewy you like your blondies (a shorter baking time results in a chewier blondie). Let cool completely before adding glaze.
  • Make the glaze by whisking together 1 tablespoon of melted butter and whiskey.
  • Gradually whisk in confectioners sugar until glaze is thick but pourable (you may not need all the sugar).
  • Using a spoon or a pastry bag fitted with a plain round tip, drizzle glaze over blondies in a rough crosshatch pattern.
  • Let glaze dry 1 hour.
  • Cut blondies into 2 inch squares.
  • Blondies can be stored at room temperature up to 2 days, or freeze in an airtight container for longer keeping.

Tips:

  • Use freshly brewed coffee for the best flavor. If you don't have time to brew a fresh pot, you can use cold brew coffee or espresso.

  • Use lightly whipped cream. You can make your own whipped cream or use store-bought whipped cream.
  • Garnish your Irish coffee with grated nutmeg or chocolate shavings for an extra touch of flavor.
  • Serve your Irish coffee immediately after making it. This will prevent the coffee from getting cold and the cream from melting.

Conclusion:

Irish coffee is a delicious and versatile drink that can be enjoyed at any time of day. It's perfect for a morning pick-me-up, an after-dinner treat, or a special occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make this classic cocktail at home. So next time you're looking for a unique and flavorful drink, give Irish coffee a try.
