Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
- 6 oz high quality white chocolate bars (e.g., Ghirardelli or Lindt), plus more for garnish
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: Combine the cubed unsalted butter and white chocolate bars in a medium-sized heatproof bowl. Place this bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth. If the mixture separates, keep stirring vigorously until it becomes cohesive.
- Whip Eggs and Sugar: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the eggs together with the granulated sugar for about 3 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color, ensuring a tender brownie texture.
- Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugar, mixing on low speed just until combined to avoid deflating the eggs.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, salt, and vanilla extract into the wet mixture until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
- Prepare Pan and Garnish: Line an 8″x8″ square baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter evenly into the pan. Optionally, garnish the top with coarsely chopped white chocolate pieces for added texture and appearance.
- Bake: Bake the brownies in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 30-35 minutes. The brownies should be set in the middle and show a slight golden brown around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before removing them to ensure they firm up and hold their shape. Optionally, drizzle with melted white chocolate before serving for an extra touch of sweetness and elegance.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate bars for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature to help with proper whipping and incorporation.
- Do not overmix once flour is added to keep brownies tender.
- Allow brownies to cool fully to make cutting easier and prevent crumbling.
- Storage: Keep brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
