Raspberry White Chocolate Blondie Bars combine buttery blondie layers with sweet raspberry jam, creamy white chocolate, and crunchy sliced almonds for an elegant and indulgent dessert bar perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter
- 3 cups (510 g) white chocolate chips, divided
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (212 g) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (284 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1 ¼ cups (425 g) raspberry jam
- ½ cup (60 g) sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment or foil and lightly grease.
- Melt butter and stir in 2 cups white chocolate chips until coated (do not overmix).
- In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Add sugar and beat 1–2 minutes until pale.
- Stir in butter-chocolate mixture, then add flour, salt, and almond extract. Mix until smooth.
- Spread half the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 15–20 minutes until just set.
- Stir remaining 1 cup white chocolate chips into leftover batter.
- Spread raspberry jam over the warm baked layer.
- Drop remaining batter over jam in spoonfuls without spreading.
- Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top.
- Bake for another 30–35 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.
Notes
- Omit almonds for a nut-free version.
- Swap raspberry jam with strawberry or mixed berry for a fruity twist.
- Add lemon zest to batter for brightness.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for best flavor.
- Bars taste even better after resting overnight.
