12 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound white chocolate
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup raspberry jam
- ½ cup sliced almonds
Instructions
Prepare the oven and baking pan.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Set aside.
Melt the white chocolate and butter.
- Place the white chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. This process typically requires 2 to 3 minutes in total. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Prepare the batter.
- To the cooled chocolate mixture, add the flour, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until the batter becomes smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps remaining.
Assemble the blondies.
- Pour the prepared batter evenly into the baking pan. Distribute small dollops of raspberry jam across the surface. Using a butter knife, gently swirl the jam into the batter to create a marbled effect. Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly on top.
Bake the blondies.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a knife inserted in the center emerges clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Cool and serve.
- Remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan, which will take about 30 minutes. Once fully cooled, slice into squares and serve.
