Ingredients You Will Need

For the Blondie Batter:

• 2 eggs
• 200g unsalted butter, melted
• 155g brown sugar
• 55g white sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 340g wheat flour
• 80g white chocolate, chopped
• 140g fresh strawberries, chopped

For the Strawberry Jam:

• 180g fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
• 60g white sugar
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 350g cream cheese, at room temperature
• 60g heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 60g powdered sugar

How to Make Your White Chocolate and Strawberry Blondies

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberry Jam

1. Cook the Jam: In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, white sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely before using.

Step 2: Make the Blondie Batter

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift out the blondies later.
2. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the melted butter with both the brown and white sugars until well combined. This will create a rich and smooth base for your blondies.
3. Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the vanilla extract and salt.
4. Mix in the Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the wheat flour and baking soda until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the blondies light and tender.
5. Fold in the Goodies: Stir in the chopped white chocolate and fresh strawberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
6. Bake the Blondies: Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Add a few more strawberry pieces on top if desired for a burst of color and flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool Completely: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before removing them. This helps them set properly and makes them easier to frost.

Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

1. Blend the Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for the best results.
2. Add the Vanilla and Cream: Mix in the vanilla extract. Then, gradually add the heavy cream, beating on medium speed until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick but spreadable.

Step 4: Assemble the Blondies

1. Frost the Blondies: Once the blondies are completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top using a spatula.
2. Drizzle with Strawberry Jam: Finish by drizzling the cooled strawberry jam over the frosting. You can swirl it with a toothpick for a marbled effect or simply spoon it over for a rustic look.
3. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the blondies into 12 servings, serve, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!

Pro Tips for Perfect Blondies

• Ensure Even Baking: Rotate the pan halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
• Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth, lump-free frosting.
• Customize Your Jam: Swap out strawberries for other berries like raspberries or blueberries to change up the flavor.
