What Are White Chocolate Brownies?
White chocolate brownies are a twist on the classic fudgy baked treat made with high-quality white chocolate instead of cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate. Serve these treats as-is, or top them with homemade vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce to make a tasty white chocolate brownie sundae.
3 Tips for Making White Chocolate Brownies
Follow these tips to make the best white chocolate brownies possible:
- 1. Experiment with additions. Jazz up these fudgy white chocolate brownies by folding chopped nuts (like pecans and walnuts), candies (like crushed candy canes and toffee bits), or coconut flakes into the batter. Top the brownies with chopped macadamia nuts, additional white chocolate chips, a peanut butter swirl, or a dark chocolate drizzle. For an added layer of creaminess, serve the white chocolate brownie slices with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream.
- 2. Bake the brownies mindfully. To avoid overbaking your brownies—which will yield a dry, crumbly product—keep them in the oven until the batter is just set. The ideal texture resembles a dense fudge with a slightly cakey crumb. Even if the center appears undercooked, your brownies are done when the edges pull away from the sides. Stick a toothpick in a spot along the edge of the brownies to check the doneness. If it comes out mostly clean, the brownies are ready.
- 3. Store in an airtight container. This rich dessert will keep well in an airtight container on the countertop for 5 days. For long-term storage, wrap the brownies in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-proof bag in the freezer for up to 2 months.
