WHITE CHOCOLATE AND PECAN BLONDIES



White Chocolate and Pecan Blondies image

Brown sugar and butter are what make blondies so incredibly addictive. Most times, they are made with chocolate chips and sometimes butterscotch chips, but when I tried them with white chocolate and toasted pecans, a new blondie was born. Give them a go and you'll see what I mean.

Provided by Gemma Stafford

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 9 blondies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup (2 sticks/225 grams) salted butter, melted
2 cups (340 grams) light brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups (284 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 cups (9 ounces/ 255 grams) white chocolate chips
1 cup (142 grams) pecans, toasted and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla.
  • Whisk in the eggs one at a time until well combined.
  • Using a large metal spoon, fold in the flour, salt, chocolate chips, and pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the middle is just set. Don't be tempted to bake them for longer than that, or you won't get gooey centers. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan.
  • Turn the blondies out onto a cutting board and cut into 9 squares. Enjoy warm, or cover and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • For a more intense cranberry flavor, use dried cranberries that have been soaked in orange juice or Grand Marnier for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate. Just trim the edges of the pastry dough so that it fits the plate.
  • To prevent the tart from getting too brown, cover it with foil after 30 minutes of baking.
  • Let the tart cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and firm up.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This white chocolate cranberry pecan tart is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet white chocolate, tart cranberries, and crunchy pecans is sure to please everyone. With its easy-to-follow recipe and stunning presentation, this tart is sure to become a favorite in your home.
