Customizable Creation: Try adding different berries, dark chocolate, nuts, and more. 

Ingredients

• Unsalted Butter: Melted butter is the key to a fudgy, gooey texture. 

• Granulated and Light Brown Sugar: A high ratio of brown sugar gives these blondies a rich caramel flavor, chewy texture, and a crackly top. The granulated sugar amps up the sweetness a little to counter the tart fruit.

• Large Eggs + Yolks: Room temperature eggs help create a smooth batter that rises evenly. Add an extra yolk for even more richness. 

• Vanilla Extract: A splash of pure vanilla enhances the flavors of the white chocolate and raspberries.

• All-Purpose Flour: Regular all-purpose flour provides the perfect sturdy yet tender structure.

• Cornstarch: Ensures a nice tender crumb and helps to soak up the excess liquid from the fruit.

• Baking Powder: Just a touch of baking powder gives these dense blondies a little lift.

• Salt: A pinch balances the sweetness and enhances all the flavors.

• Fresh or Frozen Raspberries: Tart, juicy raspberries add a burst of fruity flavor and a pop of color. Coat them in flour to prevent sinking.

• White Chocolate: Creamy and sweet white chocolate provides a rich flavor and texture. For the best results, use high-quality chips or chopped bars with pure cocoa butter.

How to Make Raspberry and White Chocolate Blondies

Baking these blondies is like a little act of love – from the moment the butter and brown sugar come together, to folding in those fresh raspberries. 

There’s something so satisfying about creating such a beautiful and delicious treat from scratch.

But I promise, it’s a breeze!

1. PREP. Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line the 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2. MIX. Whisk the melted butter and sugars until smooth. Add the eggs, yolks, and vanilla extract and whisk until fully incorporated.

3. COMBINE. Whisk the dry ingredients to evenly distribute everything. Then, mix half into the batter until mostly combined with a few visible flour streaks.

4. FOLD. Toss the raspberries and white chocolate in the remaining flour. Gently mix into the batter until no streaks of flour are visible.

5. BAKE. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are lightly browned.

6. COOL. Let cool completely in the pan. Then, chill for 2 hours, slice, serve, and enjoy!

Tips For the Best Raspberry and White Chocolate Blondies

The keys to fudgy, flavorful raspberry white chocolate blondies are using melted butter, a high ratio of brown sugar, and being careful not to overbake. 

But they’re not the only tips I’ve got for you!

• Use high-quality white chocolate. For the best flavor, use high-quality white chocolate with at least 20% cocoa butter, like Valrhona, Ghirardelli, or Guittard.

• Fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries work best, but you can use frozen if that’s all you have. Don’t thaw them – just toss them right in.

• Brown the butter. Use melted butter for a rich, chewy texture and buttery flavor in your blondies. And for even more yumminess, brown the butter first.

• Don’t skip the extra yolk. An extra egg yolk makes the blondies richer and chewier.

• Measure accurately. Spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with the knife. If you scoop and pack it down, you’ll have too much.

• Careful mixing. Once you add the flour, be careful not to overmix the batter, which can lead to tough blondies. Mix just until combined.

• Baking time. Bake until the edges are lightly browned, and the center is set but still soft and shiny. 

• Chill before cutting. For the cleanest slices, let the blondies cool completely, then refrigerate for a couple of hours before cutting.

• Flavor options. Mix in chopped nuts like macadamia or pistachio, toffee bits, or lemon zest. Drizzle with extra melted white chocolate and top with freeze-dried raspberries for an extra pop of color.

How to Store

If you’re in the mood for something a bit different than your usual fudgy brownies, give these blondies a try. 

They’re a delightful twist, perfect for a summer picnic or just a cozy afternoon at home.

And yes, they store well, too!

To Store: Place cooled blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Warm to room temperature before enjoying.

To Freeze: Wrap individual blondies tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 3 months, then thaw overnight before serving. 

What’s your go-to dessert to bake when you need a little pick-me-up? I think these blondies might be my new favorite!
