Easy, Delicious, Fruity and Chocolatey… What more could you want?! White Chocolate and Raspberry Blondies that everyone will adore and love!
So a few months ago I posted my version of some delicious White Chocolate & Pistachio Blondies and they were such a hit! So many of you have made them and enjoyed them, and this made me extremely happy! However, this meant I knew I should and kinda had to do another Blondie recipe after SO many requests.
Therefore, these babies were born. As a blondie is basically a brownie but without the chocolate theme in the batter, I went with the same recipe as my White Chocolate & Pistachio Blondies, just switching the Pistachios for the Raspberries, some Freeze Dried Raspberries, and a touch of vanilla.
I made a few of these before posting as I wanted to make sure I had them right. The first time I made them I used about 275g of Fresh Raspberries in the batter, and I found that they were very squidgey after they’d eventually finished baking. I reduced the amount to 200g, and added the Freeze Dried Raspberries so there was enough flavour, and it worked perfectly. I then made them 3 times that week and they baked the same each time, always ended up delicious. These aren’t the most solid of Blondies ever, but thats why I love them, they’re delicious, soft and gooey.
You can obviously just whack some White Chocolate and Raspberries in to any old Brownie recipe such as my Terry’s Chocolate Orange Brownies, just without the Chocolate Orange, and they would be delicious too. However, I like that these aren’t Dark or Milk Chocolate themed? That may sound slightly weird coming from someone that adores ALL kinds of chocolate, but honestly, these are perfect the way they are. You could bake them for much longer than specified to get a dryer and more sturdy Blondie, but I like them softer compared to solid.
I decided to film this delicious treat as a video as I know you guys are loving them, and I want to grow my Youtube channel as much as I possibly can to help keep this blog going. It was definitely fun to film these, and I had a little monkey of a Puppy trying to help by waiting for any dropping crumbs by my feet.
Needless to say, he was disappointed when this didn’t happen. My Trusty Taste Testers and myself however seriously enjoyed these every time I made them, and I trust their opinions. I’m sure if Rolo was allowed to eat such things, he would have approved as well. I hope you guys love this recipe! Enjoy!
White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies!
Ingredients
Blondies
- 250 g Unsalted Butter
- 250 g Caster Sugar
- 3 Large Eggs
- 175 g Plain Flour
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 250 g White Chocolate Chips
- 200 g Raspberries
- 10-15 g Freeze Dried Raspberries (optional)
Decoration
- 75 g White Chocolate
- Freeze Dried Raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan, and grease & line a 9x9inch Square Tin – leave to the side.
- Melt the Butter carefully in the microwave, stir till smooth. Leave to the side for now!
- Using an electric whisk/stand mixer, whisk together the Eggs, Caster Sugar and Vanilla together for a few minutes until the colour has turned pale, is very mousse like, and is double the original volume of the amount of eggs + sugar! You will know its done because when you lift the whisk up out of the mix it should leave a trail for a couple of seconds before disappearing!
- Whilst whisking, beat in the melted butter a little at a time, making sure each spoonful of butter is fully mixed in before adding a bit more!
- Once mixed in, sift in the Plain Flour, and fold the mixture together. Add in the Chocolate Chips, Raspberries and freeze dried Raspberries, and fold again.
- Pour the mixture into the tin, and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes** or till baked through. I checked mine with a skewer and it came out clean when baked! Leave the Blondies to cool in the tin completely.
- Drizzle over the melted chocolate, and sprinkle on the freeze dried raspberries (or some more fresh raspberries if you prefer) – leave the chocolate to set and then cut into your portions. I did 4×4 to get 16 decent sized pieces! Enjoy!
Notes
- **Sometimes Brownies & Blondies and such can take a while to bake, for some random reason… so if at 35-40 minutes yours isn’t baked through fully, cover the top with foil to prevent burning and continue to bake till done!
- I used Callebaut Chocolate in ALL of my bakes other than when specified. I buy mine in 2.5kg bags as it makes it much easier and cheaper for me in the long run as I bake so much! However, any chocolate will work perfectly. Supermarket own, other brands, etc! As long as its tasty, it’ll work!
- I have never tried this with frozen berries, and I’m not sure if it would work or not because of the moisture content. However, I seriously would recommend to NOT add any more raspberries then specified as moisture is released from normal raspberries as well, and the Blondies might not bake very well with any more!

October 21, 2020 at 5:19 pmHi Jane,
I have tried freezing these and they freeze really well! How long after freezing do you recommend they need to be used by?
thanks!
Jane's Patisserie
October 21, 2020 at 7:11 pmThe usual recommendation is 3 months!!
Ellie
October 14, 2020 at 11:32 amHi! First of all these taste incredible thank you so much for sharing all your recipes with us! I don’t feel I’ve quite perfected this recipe yet – the bottom was very soggy (possibly from sunken raspberries? I’m not sure?) and the top had the lovely crack but it was actually too crumbly, I did have to leave them in for 45 mins but covered the top with foil after 40 mins like you said. The knife wasn’t coming out clean but I’m confused that I may have over baked? Welcome to my over thinking brain!! I mean they still tasted amazing, just want to make it perfect!
Jane's Patisserie
October 15, 2020 at 10:15 amIt does sound a little all over the place, which can definitely happen when baking with raspberries!! The soggy bottom will be from the raspberries (it may be better to reduce how many you use next time maybe, just to test it), and then maybe also bake on a lower temperature, but for longer – this should prevent the top crumbling! x

August 7, 2020 at 9:44 amHi, your recipes are amazing!!
I am doing a batch of these blondies and also the caramel and white chocolate. Is there a reason the basic blondie recipe is different, or can i use this basic recipe for both so i dont have to make separately before adding the toppings?
Jane's Patisserie
August 7, 2020 at 3:17 pmThey are just different techniques and recipes – I have several recipes for each type. You can use whichever you prefer!
Ciaran
July 31, 2020 at 8:28 pmHi Jane! I’m sure that you have saw my comments before. I just wanted to say that I love your recipes! You have inspired me so much and I wanted to thank you!
I am making this for my mum, however I only have an 8 inch square tin. I was just wondering if I should take 1/9 of the recipe off to make sure that I have the right amount for the size of tin? Thank you!
Ciaran. 😊
Jane's Patisserie
August 1, 2020 at 10:19 amHey! So volume in tins works slightly differently then just taking off 1/9th – the recipe is about 0.8x the recipe for an 8″ square, so about 4/5 worth – and then it should be fine! xx
Alex McKinley
July 27, 2020 at 9:23 pmHi Jane, made these at the weekend as it’s raspberry season however, my raspberries and choloclate sunk to the bottom. I was reading the comments above and wanted to check that the issue may be not beating the mixture enough? Can you overheat the mixture?
Jane's Patisserie
July 28, 2020 at 3:54 pmFor this sort of sponge mix you can over beat, but it’s quite hard to do so. Typically the mix is quite thick so that is what you are after! – you can coat the raspberries and chocolate chips in flour, and sprinkle some on top and that should help!
Emily Masters
July 24, 2020 at 5:32 pmI’ve made these three times now because they are AMAZING and so yummy. Foolproof recipe, and such a crowd pleaser. So many people asked for the recipe after!

July 7, 2020 at 8:52 amWhy did mine become a sponge cake?
Jane's Patisserie
July 7, 2020 at 4:42 pmYou’ve over baked or the oven temp was too high.
Sahara
July 16, 2020 at 1:50 amI am in love with this recipe, they taste amazing! I ended up using frozen raspberries which made my blondie more of a pinkie as I’ve been calling them. Still really good though and they look really cute pink.
Emma
June 24, 2020 at 10:49 pmHi!
If I wanted to bake these in a 4 inch baking tin, would I just half the recipe and cook for a little longer?
Jane's Patisserie
June 24, 2020 at 10:53 pmHey! Sorry do you mean a 4×4″ square? That’s a lot smaller than this, about 1/5th of the recipe so I’m not sure how well it’ll work!
Harriet
June 20, 2020 at 10:51 amHi Jane – I only have a 20x20cm tin, what measurement adjustments would you recommend for this size? Thank you so much so excited to make these today x
Jane's Patisserie
June 20, 2020 at 12:47 pmHey! I would reduce the recipe to about 0.8x the recipe – http://www.cakebaker1.co.uk/apps-for-bakers/baking-tin-size-conversion-calculator/ – this website can help with ingredients! x
Harriet
June 20, 2020 at 1:26 pmThank you so much Jane! X
Juliet
June 16, 2020 at 2:51 pmHi Jane – do you think you could substitute the raspberries for a different berry? I’ve got some strawberries and blackberries i’m trying to use up in something!
Jane's Patisserie
June 16, 2020 at 9:25 pmHey! I’m sure that would work well! X
Luxanna
June 11, 2020 at 9:26 pmI just tried these for the first time and they came out waaaay better than I could have ever imagined 😍 All of your recipes are so amazing that you actually make me want to bake something every single day!
Amy Alexander
June 2, 2020 at 7:39 pmCould I add swirls of raspberry jam? using a similar technique to the biscoff blondies? As well as the white chocolate and raspberries! Would that alter the bake time? 🙂
Jane's Patisserie
June 3, 2020 at 10:49 amYes you could!!
Kym
May 22, 2020 at 8:18 pmI tried these today – they taste amazing but my choc chips all seem to have sunk to the bottom and the bottom seems quite wet / gooey.
Anyone know what I’ve done wrong?
Defo trying again they taste so good!!
Jane's Patisserie
May 24, 2020 at 1:42 pmHey! This can happen if your mix is a bit thinner than it should be or the chips are too small! You could try my other blondie method (white chocolate caramel blondies) if you prefer – or be really careful when mixing everything together! x
Hollie Rawlins
May 14, 2020 at 5:31 pmHi Jane, can you add desiccated coconut to this recipie? If so, how much would you recommend?
Jane's Patisserie
May 14, 2020 at 5:44 pmHey! Ohh I haven’t tried it, but it sounds DELICIOUS! I would say about 50g-75g or so?! It’s still quite a lot where it weighs so little but you definitely don’t want to overload it!
Helen
May 14, 2020 at 1:27 pmI used gluten free flour as my friends are coeliacs and found they didn’t rise well also found them very greasy and the tray bake was quite dark in colour unlike yours. Tasted lovely though
Jane's Patisserie
May 14, 2020 at 1:57 pmGluten-free flour can be different from using regular flour as the properties of the two are different – and darkness can come from the oven being too high! It may be worth adding in xantham gum to help bind it, and also turning the oven temp down a bit which would help!
Amrit
May 13, 2020 at 9:07 pmLove white chocolate and raspberry as a combination. I made these today and although they tasted great and didn’t look awfully terrible they were very crumbly on the top, some slices broke apart and it took 1hr or so to bake for the knife to come out clean. Do you know where I went wrong here? Thanks!
Jane's Patisserie
May 14, 2020 at 9:06 amThat could be down to the oven you used, or even over whipping the eggs/sugar at the beginning (although that is quite hard to do!) x
Phoebe
May 13, 2020 at 7:11 pmCan this be made in 20cm round tin?
How should I adjust the time in the oven?
Thank you!!
Jane's Patisserie
May 14, 2020 at 9:12 amPersonally I wouldn’t recommend that – it’s about 2/3 smaller so it may stay quite raw in the middle! It’s best to reduce the recipe down by a third xx
Hava
May 10, 2020 at 3:06 pmHi,
Just wondering do you do step 3 and 4 at the same time?
Really excited to give this a go! 🙂
Jane's Patisserie
May 10, 2020 at 3:16 pmNo – you do step three first, and then you do step four.
Naz
May 1, 2020 at 10:02 amHi Jane,
I have made these several times and I love them. do you add frozen raspberries to the blondies mix?
Jane's Patisserie
May 1, 2020 at 12:59 pmYou can use fresh or frozen!
Amy
April 29, 2020 at 8:51 amHi Jane,
I can’t get hold of plain flour at the moment, would this recipe work with SR instead?
Thanks so much
Amy x
Jane's Patisserie
April 29, 2020 at 9:07 amI’m afraid with blondies it won’t really work – it will just come out like a cake!
Paris
April 25, 2020 at 5:59 pmI’ve made these before and they’re amazing,
Just about to bake them again only realised I do not have an caster sugar is it possible to use light brown & granulated or is that not suitable for this recipe? I’m just being impatient
Thank you
Jane's Patisserie
April 25, 2020 at 6:41 pmI would use light brown sugar for this method!
Paris
April 25, 2020 at 7:05 pmAmazing, thank you!
I’m going to make them now!
Gemma
April 2, 2020 at 5:51 pmMade these today and they worked really well! Mine seemed to be a bit more cake like than brownie like though, any advice on what I might have done wrong?
Jane's Patisserie
April 2, 2020 at 6:50 pmThey’re just overbaked slightly!

Emily
January 7, 2020 at 8:25 pmEach time I’ve made these, I don’t think they’re turning out correctly – greasy or choc chips all at the bottom. Really want to get them right.
How long do you whisk for? Doesn’t seem to be going think. Can I over whisk?
Jane's Patisserie
January 8, 2020 at 9:48 amIt can take several minutes at high speed with an electric mixer to whisk – if it never gets thick, you probably haven’t whisked long enough. If the mixture is too thin, the chocolate chips will sink and caramelise slightly causing the ‘greasy’ look.

Alison
June 5, 2019 at 4:09 pmHi, hope you can help as I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong? I’ve attempted these blondies twice and both times there appears to be an awful lot of melted butter coming out of them, and they end up looking quite “greasy” and not brownie/blondie-like like in your pics☹️ I made sure I added the butter gradually like in the method but it’s done the same thing both times. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks 😊 p.s I absolutely adore your recipes and have tried a few of them but would really like to master these blondies!!
Jane's Patisserie
June 5, 2019 at 5:45 pmDo you use an electric whisk? Honestly, I just make sure the beginning stage is VERY thick, and then whisk the butter in slowly, and make sure its fully folded in before adding any more. If this isn’t done properly, it could lead to it being greasy! x
Alison
June 7, 2019 at 4:20 pmThank you x Yes I use an electric stand mixer. I will definitely try them again and make sure I add the butter slowly to the thick mix. Thank you x 😊
Alison
June 7, 2019 at 4:24 pmHi I’m not sure if my reply went through so I’ll do it again. Thank you for your reply x😊 I will definitely try them again and will make sure I add the butter slowly to the thick mix. Thank you😊
Sian
May 22, 2019 at 10:34 pmHi Jane. Just a quick question…how much white chocolate do you melt for the drizzle on the top? I’ve read the recipe several times but can’t see a mention of how much chocolate. Is that chocolate separate to the white chocolate chips?
Thanks 🙂
Jane's Patisserie
May 23, 2019 at 9:02 amI use about 50-75g! x
Felicity Foster
March 26, 2019 at 8:37 amI’m wanting to make mini egg blondies. I have looked at this and your cookie bar recipe…..could I take out the raspberries and add crushed mini eggs?? This recipe looks easier than the cookie bars plus i haven’t got any bicarbonate of soda
Jane's Patisserie
March 26, 2019 at 10:34 amI would say the cookie bars are better for Mini Eggs, as mini eggs are quite heavy and will most likely sink in the blondies – but you can definitely try it!
Felicity Foster
March 28, 2019 at 2:35 pmIt worked 😊 well think it did as iv never actually had a blondie but they tasted good
Ellice Dargan
November 15, 2018 at 6:48 pmWould the recipe still be the same if you didn’t want to add raspberries (except the raspberries of course!) or do you think it would need tweeking and other things added to add more flavour?
Jane's Patisserie
November 15, 2018 at 8:09 pmIt would still work without them, but might need a smidge less cooking time as it won’t have the moisture of the raspberries!

Thanks
Jane's Patisserie
February 19, 2018 at 7:43 pmHiya! I would say if you try and whip it up thicker next time so its really really thick (the original mixture) so that the combined mixture is thick it would be good!

September 8, 2017 at 6:12 pmYou’ve not whisked the mixture enough and its too liquid – also, your oven might not be the correct temperature (rarely ovens are) which would contribute.

I just wondered – once made, how long do they last? Also are they suitable for freezing?
Thanks so much,

April 6, 2017 at 7:31 pmHi how many grams would you say is a pot of freeze dried raspberries
Jane's Patisserie
April 6, 2017 at 10:05 pm7-10g usually (they’re very light so weight wise a little goes a long way)

November 10, 2016 at 8:33 amThese blondies look delicious! I’ve used frozen berries before in a cake, I find the best way to avoid moisture-overload is to defrost them in a bowl the fridge the night before, then spoon them in making sure to leave the excess liquid/juice in the bowl.
Jane's Patisserie
November 10, 2016 at 11:03 amAhh okay thats cool! Thanks!
