Raspberry White Chocolate Blondies are soft, chewy dessert bars filled with sweet white chocolate chips and tart fresh raspberries. It’s the perfect balance of the classic dessert flavor combination in each bite! And how fitting that we are making these on National Blonde Brownie (blondie) Day?!? But, these are so delicious, they can be enjoyed any day of the year! I also have White Chocolate Blondies you will love, especially if you are a fan of white chocolate.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Butter: Blondies are known for their dense texture and buttery flavor. So, get out 2 sticks of unsalted butter to make these dessert bars. If using salted butter, you may want to lessen the amount of salt in the recipe.
Sugar: You will notice that only light brown sugar is used in this recipe (no granulated sugar). Brown sugar gives the bars a caramelized sweetness and adds moisture for a soft and chewy texture. I do not recommend dark brown sugar as that can be too overpowering.
Eggs: You will need three large eggs. You will use 2 whole eggs, but add just the yolk of the third egg.
White Chocolate Chips: If you can’t find white chocolate chips, you could also use a bar of white chocolate, chopped into small pieces.
Raspberries: I prefer fresh raspberries for this recipe. If substituting frozen berries, let them thaw and drain them before folding them into the batter.
When Are Blondies Done Baking?
To check blondies for doneness, first, look at the edges, which should be golden brown and just starting to pull from the edges. The center of the blondies should still look a little soft when removed from the oven. You can also insert a toothpick into the center of the blondies. It should come out with a few crumbs (you don’t want it to be completely clean), but no wet batter. Be careful to not overbake blondies or they will lose their distinctive dense, chewy texture.
Add-Ins & Variations To Raspberry White Chocolate Blondies
There are a variety of ways to customize these raspberry white chocolate blondies. Here are a few variations and add-ins you could try:
- Stir in chopped nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
- Add shredded coconut.
- Mix in dark chocolate chips with white chocolate chips for a flavor contrast.
- Melt more white chocolate chips to drizzle over the tops of the blondies.
How To Store Raspberry White Chocolate Blondies
To store raspberry white chocolate blondies, first, let them cool to room temperature. Then, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You could also freeze the blondies. Let them cool completely before wrapping them in plastic wrap and storing them in a freezer-safe container. The bars will be fine in the freezer for up to 3 months. Be sure to label and date the packaging.
