How to Make White Chocolate and Raspberry Blondies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Directions:
### Step 1: Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan. This ensures that your blondies won’t stick and can easily be removed when done.
### Step 2: Mixing
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. The combination will create a velvety base that is both sweet and rich. Next, add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined.
### Step 3: Adding Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; this helps maintain the blondies’ tender texture.
### Step 4: Finishing
Fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries gently, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. Pour this vibrant mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the blondies cool before cutting them into squares for serving.
How to Serve White Chocolate and Raspberry Blondies
These blondies make a delightful snack on their own, but you can elevate your serving by pairing them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. A sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of dark chocolate sauce on top adds a touch of elegance. They are perfect for birthdays, holiday gatherings, or a sweet treat at book club!
How to Store White Chocolate and Raspberry Blondies
To keep your blondies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. If you’d like them to last longer, refrigerate them, where they can stay fresh for up to a week. For longer storage, consider freezing them; just wrap each square tightly in plastic cling wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy.
Expert Tips for Perfect White Chocolate and Raspberry Blondies
- Use quality chocolate: Opt for high-quality white chocolate chips to enhance the flavor.
- Fresh Raspberries: Use fresh raspberries for the best taste and texture; if you only have frozen, make sure to thaw and drain them first.
- Don’t overbake: For the best texture, remove the blondies from the oven while they’re still slightly underbaked; they’ll continue to cook as they cool.
- Mix-ins: Feel free to get creative! Nuts or coconut can also be great additions to the batter.
Delicious Variations
- Nutty Crunch: Add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts for a nutty flavor.
- Chocolate Swirl: Swirl some melted dark chocolate into the batter before baking for a rich twist.
- Coconut Bliss: Add 1/2 cup of shredded coconut for a tropical flair.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use frozen raspberries? Yes! Just ensure they are thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture in your blondies.
- Can I substitute brown sugar with white sugar? While brown sugar adds moisture and a richer flavor, you can use white sugar if that’s what you have; however, your blondies may be less chewy.
- Do I have to use white chocolate? No! Feel free to substitute with dark chocolate if you prefer a deeper chocolate flavor.
- How do I know when my blondies are done? They are done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean; a few crumbs attached are okay.
- What if my blondies are too dry? This usually happens from overbaking; make sure to check them at the lower end of the baking time.
