Brownies made with white chocolate are soft and fudgy and sweet. I wondered what the tang of strawberry would be like with them, cooked as a swirl through the white cake.
I made a standard batch of white brownie. I took 75g of strawberry jam and 100g of fresh strawberries, chopped. I put a layer of the plain batter in the cake tin first, to reduce the chance of the strawberries making everything too sticky to handle when eating. I then lightly stirred the strawberry pulp into the rest of the batter and spooned on top.
Ingredients
125g butter
250g white chocolate
4 eggs
350g sugar
2 tsp vanilla
400g flour - I used 150g almond, 250g my usual mixture ((40% urid, 40% tapioca, 20% cornmeal)
75g strawberry jam
100g fresh strawberries
Melt chocolate and butter - 2 mins on medium in the microwave works for me.
Mix sugar, eggs and vanilla. Check chocolate not too hot then stir into egg mixture. Stir in flour. Place in greased/lined tin and bake.
Cooked for 25 mins at 180C and 20mins at 160C, the brownie is crisp on the edge and squishy in the middle. I think a bit more strawberry might be better, but served with some fresh strawberries this is very good.
This looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be trying it soon.

Having been very fortunate to taste one of these, I can confirm that these are seriously delicious!
ReplyDeletemy kids love this brownies as i made this very easy to follow procedure. thanks for sharing this yummy recipe. :)
ReplyDeletei tried this recipe but it was very soggy and didn't work out even though I followed the recipe and ingredients. is there a specific size of tin that you used?
ReplyDeleteHi Angela, in case the comment I just published doesn't reach you I'm rewriting as a reply. I think that the wetness may be due to variations in the strawberries, as I have found my brownies vary in how damp they are. If they come out too wet just cut them in pieces and rebake which gives a crisp outside and a cooked inside. I like them this way even better.
DeleteI use a large baking dish which gives brownies about 3cm thick.
If you still think they are too squishy they are good folded into icecream as a cross between cookie dough and brownie icecream.
Hi Angela, I just use a large baking tin. It is quite squishy, and sometimes I have found it is still very damp after this amount of time. I assumed it was due to strawberries varying, and just put it back in the oven in pieces to cook a bit longer. This gives a nice crusty finish to each piece, which I think improves them over the ones which seem perfect to start with.
