Ingredients
Irish Cream Biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ¼ cups Irish cream
- 2 tablespoons butter for finishing, unsalted
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar for sprinkling
Boozy Chocolate Ganache
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips 46% cacao
- 3 tablespoons Irish cream
Instructions
Make the Biscuits
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, salt and baking powder together until incorporated.
- Push the dry ingredients up against the sides of the bowl and form a hole for the Irish Cream to be poured into.
- Pour in the Irish Cream in and stir with a rubber spatula, using circular motions to incorporate the Irish Cream into the flour.
- Sprinkle a clean, flat surface with flour.
- Turn the dough out onto the surface and sprinkle lightly with flour. Using your hands, fold the dough in half, then pat into a ½” thick round. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour.
- Using a 2” biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits. (I like to start in the center and work in a clockwise motion, moving toward the outside. Do not twist the cutter.)
- Transfer the cut biscuits to the prepared baking sheet.
- Use the scraps to make another round for more biscuits. Please note these will be less fluffy than the original because they’ve been worked more.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted unsalted butter. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar for a little sweetness.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven. Bake the biscuits for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven. Let the biscuits cool, then enjoy!
Make the Ganache
- In a microwave-safe container, combine the chocolate chips and Irish Cream.
- Heat in 20-30 second increments, removing from the microwave between each and stirring with a spoon.
- Continue heating in increments until chocolate is smooth and glossy.
- Use the ganache as a dipping sauce OR drizzle it over the baked biscuits, and enjoy!
Notes
- While these biscuits are totally safe for kids and non-drinkers because the alcohol bakes out, you can use heavy whipping cream instead. Add ½ teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa, ¼ teaspoon of instant coffee and a splash of vanilla extract to give the cream that Irish Cream flavor.
