HOW TO MAKE WHITE CHOCOLATE BLONDIES:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
HOW CAN I MAKE THESE MORE FUDGY?
If you like denser, more fudgy brownies/blondies (blonde brownies) with a chewy texture, you can reduce the cooking time by a few minutes. This will result in fudgy centers.
If you like them a little more cake-like, increase the cooking time by a few minutes.
As noted, bake time will vary so keep that in mind.
DO I HAVE TO USE FRESH RASPBERRIES?
No, you can use frozen raspberries. I prefer fresh, so I highly suggest using them if you can get them, its the best way IMO.
But, in a pinch, frozen will do. Also, no need to thaw before using!
CAN I MIX THE RASPBERRIES IN THE BATTER?
You sure can do this if you don’t want to simply scatter them on the top.
However, raspberries are very delicate and they will break up if you mix them in the batter, so you will have more of a streaky look than seeing the individual berries throughout.
CAN I BAKE THIS IN A 9X9 OR 9X13 BAKING DISH?
Yes, you can bake this white chocolate chip blondie recipe as-is in a 9×9 inch baking pan. But they will need a little less baking time and they will come out thinner.
If you want to double the recipe, it will fit in a 9 x 13-inch pan perfectly. Again, watch the cooking time as it will vary.
Look for a golden brown color with crackly tops, and when a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs, it’s ready.
ANY ADDITIONS?
You can definitely add some items. Here are some ideas:
Mixin ideas:
- Regular chocolate along with the white chocolate would be a fun twist
- Dark chocolate
- Sprinkles
- Nuts, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, pistachios, or almonds I suggest
- Butterscotch chips
- Peanut butter chips
Some topping ideas:
- Cream cheese glaze or frosting
- Powdered sugar glaze
- Dusting of powdered sugar
- Drizzle of melted chocolate, any variety you prefer
- Melted peanut butter drizzled on top
Also using brown butter in place of melted butter would give another dimension of flavor.
ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?
Here are a few suggestions:
- Salted butter was used in these blondies, but unsalted butter can also be used. If using unsalted butter, add 1/2 teaspoon salt to the blondie batter.
- The brown sugar can be omitted, and the granulated white sugar can be increased to 1 cup.
- The granulated sugar can be omitted, and the brown sugar can be increased to 1 cup.
- The vanilla extract can be replaced with vanilla bean paste (an even more intense vanilla flavor) or vanilla essence, although the vanilla flavor may not be as pronounced.
- The white chocolate chips could be replaced with chunks of white chocolate or your preferred flavor of chocolate chips. White chocolate bars can also be used.
- Fresh raspberries will always taste best in these blondies, but frozen raspberries can be used where fresh raspberries are not available.
HOW TO STORE:
Store leftover blondies at room temperature in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap for up to 3 days.
Freeze for up to 3 months.
For best results, wrap leftovers in plastic wrap then tin foil, and in a freezer bag or in a freezer-safe container. Place the dish in the fridge overnight or at room temperature to thaw.
DANA’S TIPS AND TRICKS:
- This makes 9 blondies, but you can easily double it to feed more as needed. Bake in a 9×13 baking dish to double the recipe, baking times may vary.
- Some custom options, see my tips above on that.
- Great for a make-ahead dessert.
