White Chocolate Brownies are a rich, decadent twist on the classic brownie, featuring the creamy sweetness of white chocolate. These fudgy, buttery brownies are perfect for white chocolate lovers and make a wonderful dessert or treat for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz white chocolate, chopped (plus extra for topping, optional)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for extra chunks)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Melt the white chocolate and butter:
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped white chocolate and butter together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the wet ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and well combined. Slowly stir in the melted white chocolate mixture.
- Add the dry ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add white chocolate chunks (optional):
- Fold in the additional white chocolate chips or chunks if you prefer extra white chocolate bits in your brownies.
- Bake the brownies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment overhang and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
These White Chocolate Brownies are fudgy, sweet, and rich, offering a delightful twist on the traditional brownie. Perfect for any white chocolate fan!
