Raspberry and White Chocolate Brownies

Raspberry and White Chocolate Brownies

Fresh raspberries, creamy white chocolate and decadent dark chocolate make these Raspberry and White Chocolate Brownies irresistible. Scroll down for the recipe.

Summer baking

We grow our own fruit and veggies and one of our best crops is raspberries. Our raspberry bushes have gone absolutely mad and from early May we’ve been able to enjoy lots of fresh berries. Sadly the raspberry season is now coming to an end but not before I make one more batch of these Raspberry and White Chocolate Brownies!

Raspberry and White Chocolate Brownies are the perfect balance of bittersweet. Get the recipe at Supper in the Suburbs for your next chocolate craving.

Basic brownies

What I love about the basic brownie batter used in this recipe is just how simple it is. Butter, chocolate and sugar all melted together before eggs and flour are added. There are no fancy techniques involved and minimal mess created.

Once you’ve mastered the basic brownie recipe you can adapt it and add any flavours you want. Nuts and cherries are a classic at Christmas, and I’ve even made Pumpkin Spice Blondies before around halloween. For something a bit more summery, I like to add plenty of fresh fruit and some white chocolate buttons to brighten things up!

As well as raspberries picked straight from my back garden, theres an extra surprise rippled throughout the brownie batter – raspberry coulis. This adds even more juicy, raspberry flavour to these delicious brownies.

The coulis also helps to keep a moist and fudgy centre!

Raspberries

If you want to use a storebought raspberry coulis I won’t tell any one. But, it is rather simple to make your own. Simply take 100g fresh raspberries, 25g caster sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice (no more than 1 tsp). Then all you need to do is whizz it up with a hand blender. Simple!

If you’re lucky enough to have fresh fruit to hand then I think it would be a crime not to stir whole berries through this batter. I like to chuck and handful over the top too just before popping the brownies in the oven. That way the brownies swell and crack around them. Their juices leak out into the batter which just tastes amazing. Plus it looks pretty cool too!

White chocolate

White chocolate is a bit of a tricky one to bake with. It has a tendancy to “catch” slightly when exposed to heat for prolonged periods of time. Personally, I don’t mind this. Especially as it can give a slightly nutty flavour.

To counteract this though I make sure I add LOTS of white chocolate buttons to the brownie mix. I save a small handful to sprinkle over the top immediately before they go in the oven and then I sprinkle another small handful over the top once they have finished baking. The buttons melt as the brownies cool which means you get two “shades” of white chocolate buttons on the brownie.

As much as I love bitter dark chocolate in a brownie, white chocolate is my favourite and adds extra sweetness to satisfy my sweet tooth.
