Raspberry Blondies – AS SEEN ON TV

Hi friends,

We gave these out to a very happy studio audience when we appeared on Adam Hills Live in Gordon Street Tonight. This is my most requested recipe, Raspberry Blondies. The white chocolate gives a vanilla-rich gooeyness to the blondies which makes this so extremely moreish. Hope you can have a go at making them.

 

Raspberry Blondies

Ingredients:

250 grams unsalted butter

375 grams white chocolate buttons

3 free range eggs lightly beaten

250 grams white sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla essence

250 grams plain flour (plus 50 grams extra)

300 grams frozen raspberries

 

Method:

Melt butter and white chocolate in a heavy-based saucepan on a very low heat for around 5-10 minutes.

In a separate large bowl stir eggs, vanilla essence and sugar with a fork until all the sugar lumps have disappeared.

You have to work fast for the next stage to avoid scrambled eggs so have a wooden spoon and the flour ready to go.

Pour the white chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture and stir fast.

Quickly add the flour and stir until you can’t see any flour lumps.

The whole process should take you one minute. (If the mixture looks like runny cream, add more flour so that it looks like a normal cake batter.)

Fold in the frozen raspberries into the batter.

Pour the batter into one large lamington tray or two small ones lined with baking paper.

Bake for 30-40 minutes in 150C oven. (Because of the high sugar content, these can burn, so go low on your oven to avoid disappointment.) The top of the blondies should look glossy and marbled when done but stick a skewer in and if it comes out clean they are ready.

Leave to cool on a wire rack and cut into 24 square pieces.  Store in an airtight container for around 3 days.
