Instead of brownies, try blondies for a change, flavored with brown sugar and vanilla instead of cocoa. White chocolate and raspberry filling added for that extra special treat.
I love white chocolate. Yes, I know. It’s not “real” chocolate but it doesn’t matter. I love it!
Here are the ingredients for these Raspberry White Chocolate Blondies. As you can see, the sugar is only brown sugar, no white. Blondies are usually flavored with brown sugar and vanilla.
For this recipe, I used my own vanilla, made with brandy, instead of vodka, for a richer flavor.
I always start off by mixing the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. This ensures that you have the baking powder mixed well and it doesn’t end up in one spot.
This recipe calls for four eggs, beaten. It’s easier to add them to the mixture if you separate them into two portions instead of adding four eggs at once.
You’ll be working with completely melted butter, not softened. When you add the brown sugar to the butter, it mixes quickly.
I like to melt butter in the microwave in a Pyrex glass measuring cup. When melting butter, use 30 second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each time. Depending on the amount of butter, this will take only two to three times total. It only took a minute this time.
Add eggs and mix well, two at a time.
Add the flour mixture and mix well.
Stir in the white chocolate chips by hand.
I think this may have been the most difficult part. There must be a clever way to fold the parchment paper so that it will look nicer. In the end, it didn’t matter once it was cooked but I just felt like I must be doing it wrong.
Spoon or pipe the raspberry filling in lines on top of the batter. Use a knife to cut into it and swirl as desired. Once you cook it, the batter cooks up and around most of the filling so it won’t be sitting on top like this. It’s more to the inside so don’t worry about perfection.
I used a raspberry filling from Henry & Henry because I had it on hand but you could just as easily use something like Comstock Pie Filling. I even thought about using jelly but the Henry & Henry filling is so good and doesn’t have any seeds. There is quite a bit left so I’ll have to find another use for it except eating it by the spoon because it really is that good.
