White Chocolate Brownies
This is my friends, a fresh and exciting way to enjoy the yumminess of brownies with a fun twist in taste. The buttery taste of white chocolate brownies makes them a delightful treat.
The process of making white chocolate brownies is similar to the method used in making traditional chocolate brownies, except that, in this case, the white chocolate ingredient is introduced. These desserts are sweet but not too sweet or cloying.
The aroma that fills the room while these brownies bake is captivating and unforgettable. The texture is SO good, with lovely crackly tops
This recipe is prepared using just a bowl, a mixer and a baking pan and therefore, there will be minimal cleaning afterwards. I am sure this will be your next favorite dessert.
Ingredients
Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
White chocolate: It is the primary ingredient that gives the brownies their chocolatey flavor. I recommend using a good quality white chocolate for better taste and texture.
Eggs: I used 2 large eggs at room temperature.
Butter: I used unsalted butter at room temperature. You will need to cream the butter and sugar well to give your brownie a light texture.
Caster sugar: It gives the brownies a visually appealing crinkle top.
Flour: I used all purpose flour. I highly recommend measuring your flour correctly for the best texture.
Vanilla extract: It adds a depth of flavor.
How to Make White Chocolate Brownies - Step By Step
One: Preheat the oven to 180c / 350f and line a 20x20 cm square pan with parchment paper or grease it with butter or cooking spray.
Two: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt half of the chocolate and set aside, and then chop the other half into small chunks.
Tip: Avoid overheating the white chocolate to prevent it from becoming hard and clumpy. White chocolate also burns easily, so you need to microwave it for just 10 seconds or melt it in low heat. Remember to stir thoroughly as you melt the chocolate to avoid getting grainy-looking chocolate.
Tip: If you don't have a microwave, you can use a double boiler to melt the white chocolate.
Three: In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy using the electric mixer.
Four: Mix in eggs and vanilla extract, then mix in the melted chocolate until combined.
Five: Now, fold the flour and the chopped white chocolate chunks into the melted white chocolate mixture.
Fold in the flour gently to incorporate the air in the mixture, which results in a better brownie texture.
Six: Use a rubber spatula to spread the mixture into the baking pan, scatter some chopped white chocolate on top (optional) and bake for 20-30 minutes.
Tip: You can insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies to check whether they are ready. Your brownies are done when only the toothpick comes out with a few crumbs without any wet batter.
Seven: Leave to cool in the baking pan for 20 minutes, cut into squares, and put in a wire rack to cool down completely.
Top Tips
- For the best results, use room temperature ingredients.
- You may add a pinch of salt to balance the different flavors in this yummy treat.
Recipe Variations
- You can play around with this recipe by using cinnamon sugar.
- You may use brown sugar or white sugar in making this recipe instead of caster sugar.
- You could also top the brownies with either whipping cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel. This variation creates a decadent dessert.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies can be crumbled into ice cream and topped off with some caramel sauce.
You can also serve it as a dessert after Mediterranean Fish Stew or Chicken Rogan Josh.
Storage
To store: Allow the brownies to cool and store them in an airtight container under room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To Freeze: You can place parchment papers or wax sheets between the brownies to prevent them from sticking to each other, put in a plastic bag and store the brownies in a freezer for up to 6 months.
Recipe FAQs
You may consider using white chocolate chips in your brownies but using a high-quality chocolate flavor will help you get great flavor and texture. Besides, white chocolate chips may not melt evenly and so if you want a perfectly melted swirl of chocolate, use a high-quality white chocolate bar.
Blondies and brownies are similar, but blondies have a lighter and softer taste. The major difference between blondies and white chocolate brownies is in their ingredients. Blondies are made without chocolate while white chocolate brownies have melted white chocolate in them.
