This recipe makes 1 9-inch square pan of brownies, which is 9 or 16 pieces depending on how big you cut them.
Here is your shopping list:
- Dairy – ½ cup (or 1 stick) salted or unsalted butter. If using unsalted butter add ½ teaspoon salt to the brownie batter.
- Eggs – 3 large sized eggs were used in this recipe.
- Baking supplies – ¾ cup all purpose flour, ¼ cup cocoa powder
- Sugar – 1 cup white sugar
- Flavoring – 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Chocolate – 4.5 oz semi-sweet chocolate, ¾ cup white chocolate chips. Use a good quality eating chocolate for the best flavor.
- Fresh fruit – 1 cup fresh raspberries
Substitutions
- You can use your preferred variety of milk or dark chocolate instead of the semi-sweet chocolate.
- Substitute brown sugar, or a mixture of ½ cup white sugar and ½ cup brown sugar instead of the white sugar. Using brown sugar results in chewier brownies.
- Although fresh raspberries will give these brownies the best flavor, frozen raspberries can also be used. Simply place the raspberries still frozen on top of the brownie batter and bake as per the recipe.
How to make white chocolate raspberry brownies
Prep work
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Line a 9-inchsquare baking tin with baking parchment, or spray with non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan.
Melt the chocolate
Microwave method
The first step is to melt the chocolate and butter together.
The fastest way to do this is in the microwave.
To do this, add them to a microwave-proof bowl.
Microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power.
Take the bowl out and stir with a spoon until combined.
Put the bowl back in the microwave for another 30 seconds at 50% power.
Repeat the stir and heat process until the chocolate is completely melted and the butter is combined.
The chocolate can look like it isn’t melted when it actually is, so don’t rely solely on its appearance to tell if it is done.
It also changes from not soft to melted very quickly, so don’t try to speed up the process by microwaving for longer or you could end up with burnt chocolate.
Double boiler method
If you don’t have or prefer not to use a microwave, the butter and chocolate can be melted using the double boiler method.
Place the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Partially fill a small saucepan with water and bring to a simmer on the stovetop.
Place the heatproof bowl on top of the saucepan, ensuring the water doesn’t touch the base of the bowl, and stir until the butter and chocolate have just melted.
Make the brownie batter
1. Add eggs, sugar and vanilla. 2. Mix in flour and cocoa powder. 3. Fold in white chocolate chips
Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture.
Stir until well combined.
Add the flour and cocoa powder and stir until just combined. Don’t mix too much or the gluten in the flour can make the brownies tough.
Gently, stir in the white chocolate chips. Save a few for sprinkling on top.
Bake
Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared baking tin and smooth the surface.
Sprinkle the fresh raspberries and remaining white chocolate chips on top.
Bake the brownies for 30 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the center is still slightly soft. If you insert a toothpick in the middle, it should come out with crumbs on it, but not globs of wet batter.
Increase the baking time slightly for firmer brownies, and decrease the baking time slightly for fudgier brownies.
Allow to cool in the tin before slicing.
These brownies can be served warm or cool. And go really well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Storage
Store these brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Or freeze the sliced brownies in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
