If you’re a fan of traditional brownies but want to try something a little different, these White Chocolate Brownies are the perfect treat. Rich, buttery, and packed with the smooth sweetness of white chocolate, these brownies offer a unique and luxurious dessert experience. They’re perfect for special occasions, sharing with friends, or simply indulging your sweet tooth. Here’s how to make these delightful squares of goodness.

Ingredients

For the White Chocolate Brownies:

• 8 oz (226 g) high-quality white chocolate bars, chopped (Lindt or Ghirardelli recommended)
• ¾ cup (168 g) unsalted butter, chopped into small cubes
• 2 large eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 1¼ cups (250 g) granulated white sugar
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vanilla extract
• 1¾ cups (219 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
• ¾ teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking pan and set it aside. For easier removal, you can also line the pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides.

Step 2: Melt the White Chocolate and Butter

1. In a double boiler over medium-low heat, melt the chopped white chocolate and butter together. Stir continuously to ensure the white chocolate melts evenly without burning.
2. Once the mixture is melted and smooth, remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and smooth. Using an electric hand mixer on high speed can make this process faster and easier.
2. Slowly pour the melted white chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4: Add the Dry Ingredients

1. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet ingredients just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the brownies.

Step 5: Bake the Brownies

1. Pour the white chocolate brownie batter into the prepared pan. Use a mini offset spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the batter evenly in the pan.
2. Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 29-33 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

1. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
2. Once cool, use a butter knife to loosen the edges of the brownies from the pan. Turn the pan over to gently release the brownies. Cut into 16 squares and enjoy!
