Blondies are some of my favorite things to bake. Don’t get me wrong — I love all things chocolate, but sometimes I prefer a dessert with rich buttery vanilla flavors. Blondies definitely deliver in that regard. And this recipe for easy raspberry white chocolate blondies has the added bonus of fresh, tart raspberries to balance out the sweetness of the white chocolate and the chewy, buttery richness of the blondie base.
Recently it’s been hard to get my hands on fresh or frozen fruit — with grocery stores running out of a lot of things and so many of us trying to limit our time out shopping, it’s definitely a challenge. If you do have some fresh or frozen fruit on hand, this blondie is a great way to lift everyone’s spirits and make it really feel like springtime.
Why they’re so good
Guys — these blondies are so rich and decadent. They’re definitely not for the faint of heart! You might notice in the Youtube video below — we’re adding white chocolate three separate times in the process of making these blondies. White chocolate is a major favorite of mine, and together with the raspberries, plus a little lemon zest just to brighten them up, these are truly amazing! You’d never guess they were so easy to make. Get your hands on some raspberries and make these! You won’t regret it.
Ingredients
If you’re looking for an easy dessert bar recipe, look no further! Like most brownie recipes, these raspberry white chocolate blondies can be whipped up with just a bowl and a whisk! Here’s what you’ll need:
- melted salted butter
- eggs
- granulated sugar
- brown sugar
- lemon zest
- pure vanilla extract
- all-purpose flour
- salt
- white chocolate, divided into three amounts
- raspberries
- heavy cream
Equipment
The main tool you’ll need for these blondies is a 9×9 baking pan! Other than that, there are no special tools — although I would definitely recommend some parchment paper to make it easier to remove the blondies from the pan and slice them into squares.
Step by Step
This is such an easy recipe! Just grab your ingredients and your tools and you’re just a few minutes away from popping these blondies in the oven!
- First, grease your 9×9 baking pan and line with parchment paper.
- Melt your butter in the microwave and mix it with some of the white chocolate.
- Then beat together your eggs, sugars, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
- Add in the butter and chocolate mixture, and then the flour and salt.
- Fold in your raspberries and some more of the white chocolate, chopped into chunks.
- Bake!
- For the topping, melt the rest of your white chocolate with a bit of heavy cream and drizzle over your cooled blondies!
