Delicious and Easy White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies Recipe
Why You’ll Love These Raspberry White Chocolate Blondies
If you are looking for an easy treat to make that stands out and is packed with summer berry flavor you will love these raspberry white chocolate blondies. These are the perfect use for fresh raspberries as berry season starts off with a bang in just a few short weeks. Not only will these make use of fresh fruit on sale but they will stand out when served to a crowd.
Groceries Needed
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt: Even though it may seem like such a small amount, this is all that’s needed to really enhance the chocolate and berry flavors in the squares.
- Butter: You can use margarine, but the butter really helps with the richness of the dessert.
- Eggs: Room temperature is best.
- Sugar
- Vanilla
- White chocolate chips: Use the best quality you can find. It will make a difference in the final product.
- Fresh raspberries (Optional to use frozen)
How to Make this Raspberry Blondie Recipe
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease or line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, toss the raspberries into the flour, just to coat. Remove and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract and beat together until smooth.
- Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips.
- Add the raspberries and gently fold them in. Some will break apart and that’s okay.
- Transfer the batter to the baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the blondies are baked through and golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing.
- Note: If you’re using frozen raspberries, it’s best to use them frozen so they will stay somewhat intact through the prep process. If you thaw them beforehand, they may color the batter.
Handy Hint: Tossing any fruit that is going in a baked good prevents the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the batter.
Putting a Twist on these White Chocolate Blondies
For variety, try melting half of the white chocolate chips and swirling them through the batter after adding it to the baking pan. Then, sprinkle the remaining white chips over the top for a fun and decadent twist.
For some added crunch, try adding chopped nuts to the batter. Walnuts, pecans, or almonds would all be great options.
While raspberries are delicious in this recipe, you could also try using other types of fresh or frozen fruit. Blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries would all be great choices.
For a finishing touch, try adding a glaze to the top of the blondies. A simple powdered sugar glaze, a cream cheese frosting, or a raspberry glaze would all be delicious options.
For a warm, cozy twist, try adding some spices to the batter. Cinnamon or ginger would all be great options.
How Should I Serve Them?
These are great with ice cream or coffee for dessert. You can easily add some whipped cream and fresh fruit for a fun fresh treat that stands out at dinner parties.
Another idea (to make the dessert even richer), try gently heating the blondies in a shallow bowl, pouring heated heavy cream around the blondie, and sprinkling some fresh raspberries over top. Eat with a spoon and enjoy!
Storing Any Leftovers
Refrigerator: You can store these in a sealed container for 3-4 days.
Freezer: Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap (individually makes things easier on thawing). Store the individually wrapped blondies in a freezer bag for further protection for up to 3 months.
Thawing: Pull them out and thaw at room temperature for a few hours or remove them from the freezer and immediately warm them up in the microwave for a warm gooey blondie treat any time you want!
Sure can! Use the same amount called for in the recipe, and use them broken apart, but still frozen.
Traditionally, blondies use sugar and vanilla to gain their flavor. Brownies use sweet chocolate and cocoa powder to get the flavor. Recipes have been adapted over time, but those are the fundamental differences between the two.
Some tell tale signs that the blondies are ready is that they will pull away from the sides of the pan. The tops and edges will be golden brown as well.
