Lemon Glazed White Chocolate and Raspberry Blondies

Recipe Overview

  • FLAVOUR: Theses blondies combine the creamy sweetness of white chocolate with the tartness of fresh raspberries and a hint of zesty lemon. The result is a beautifully balanced blondie that’s indulgent yet refreshing and fruity!
  • TEXTURE: The blondie base is chewy on the outside, with a soft and fudgy centre, bursting with juicy raspberries and firm chunks of white chocolate. The lemon glaze seeps into the blondies, making them incredibly moist and gooey.
  • SERVES: You can slice these blondies into 9 generous portions, 12 standard-sized blondies or 16 small blondie bites.

Ingredients To Make Lemon Glazed White Chocolate and Raspberry Blondies

  • Unsalted butter: Melted butter gives the blondies a rich buttery flavour and a soft, moist texture.
  • Light brown sugar: The caramel flavour of light brown sugar is delightful in these blondies and creates a gooey texture.
  • Eggs: This recipe uses two medium eggs at room temperature.
  • Vanilla extract: Gives the blondie base a delicate vanilla flavour.
  • Plain flour: Binds the ingredients together and gives the blondies structure. I tested this recipe using plain and self-raising flour, but preferred plain flour as the blondies were much fudgier!
  • Salt: Half a teaspoon of salt is enough to balance the sweetness of the blondies and enhance the white chocolate flavour.
  • Lemon: Lemon zest is baked into the blondies and lemon juice is used to make the glaze on top. For this recipe, you will need one lemon in total.
  • Raspberries: Fresh or frozen raspberries will work in these blondies. If using frozen raspberries you do not need to defrost them beforehand, just fold them straight into the mixture.
  • White chocolate: I prefer using a bar of chopped white chocolate to create large pockets of chocolate throughout the brownie. However, you can use chocolate chips instead.

How To Make Blondies

This one-bowl blondie mixture comes together in a flash, here’s a quick overview of how to make it:

  1. Melt the butter in the large heatproof bowl in the microwave. You can also do this using a small saucepan, but the microwave saves on the washing up!
  2. Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
  3. Add the flour, salt and lemon zest and fold to make a smooth blondie mixture. Be careful not to overmix at this stage.
  4. Fold in the raspberries and white chocolate chunks until mixed throughout. Then spread the mixture out into a lined 20cm square baking tin.
  5. Bake the blondies at 180°C (fan) for 25 minutes for a gooey texture or 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
  6. Decorate with the lemon glaze and freeze-dried raspberries.

Baking Tips for the Perfect Blondie Texture

What is the perfect blondie texture? The answer depends on whether you prefer a gooey or firm blondie. Both are delicious but very different in texture! The main factor that will affect the texture of these white chocolate raspberry blondies is the baking time, here’s how you can tweak it:

  • For a soft and gooey texture: bake at 180°C (fan) for 25-30 minutes. The blondies should look firm and set around the outside, glossy (but not wet) on top, and jiggle in the middle.
  • For a firm and dense texture: bake at 180°C (fan) for 30-35 minutes. The blondies should look firm and set all over with no jiggle in the middle.

Baking times do vary from oven to oven, so use your judgement and remember blondies will continue to cook through as they cool down from the heat of the baking tin. So if in doubt, take them out! You must also let them cool completely before slicing for the perfect blondie texture.
