🔪 Instructions
Start by making the purée.
Put the raspberries in a saucepan with the water and caster sugar over a medium heat.

Press through a sieve to remove the pips and leave to cool.
Melt the butter and place in a bowl with the sugar.
Whisk in the egg.
Tip in the flour and white chocolate chips and use a metal spoon to fold the mixture together.
Grease and flour a 20cm square tin or line with baking parchment.
Add the blondie mixture and use a knife or spatula to even out the mixture.
Drizzle the purée over the batter and use a skewer or the end of a spoon to gently swirl the mixture in.
Push the raspberries into the mixture at even intervals.

Substitutions
- Raspberries - if fresh raspberries are not available then use canned. Keep in mind that they will lose more of their texture when cooked and the brownies may need a longer cooking time due to the extra moisture.
- Dark brown sugar - use soft light brown sugar but the blondies will not have the same fudgy texture.
📖 Variations
- Chips - Swap the white chocolate chips for milk or dark chocolate or use caramel chips.
- Nuts - try adding chopped pecans, hazelnuts, almonds or walnuts.
- Fruits - try blueberries, blackberries or currants or omit the raspberry swirl. If you are not using the raspberry swirl the blondies will bake at around 18 to 25 minutes. You could also add dried fruit such as chopped apricots or cranberries.
- Vanilla - I've not used vanilla as there is plenty of flavour packed into the white chocolate raspberry blondies already. Add add a teaspoon of vanilla extract with the egg if you prefer.
Storage
- Refrigerator - store in an airtight container for a week.
- Freezer - pack in airtight containers and freeze for up to three months.
FAQs
Brownies are characterised by the the cocoa powder or chocolate in the batter, so they have to have some form of chocolate in the recipe.
Blondies are made with a base of brown sugar and can have chocolate in as an extra ingredients.
This is totally up to you. This mixture is quite wet, so there is a longer cooking time. This gives you a fudgy blondie.
However, if you prefer it really moist in the middle then cook until the blondies still have a wobble in the middle when you remove them from the oven.
They will firm up as they cool but still be soft and gooey in the centre.
Absolutely! Defrost them for the raspberry syrup ,but add whole frozen ones to the brownie or blondie mix. They will defrost and bake and become really gooey when cooked.
