Description
Delicious lemon brownies with white chocolate, perfect for a sweet treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 6 ounces white chocolate (chopped, divided)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons lemon zest (about 2–3 medium lemons)
- ¼ teaspoon table salt
- 3 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (about ½ medium lemon)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), or 160°C for a fan oven. Line a 9×9-inch (approx 22×22 cm) baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 2 ounces (55 g) of the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
- Whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon zest, and salt until smooth.
- Add the eggs and lemon juice, then whisk until fully combined.
- Stir in the flour until no dry streaks remain.
- Fold in the remaining chopped white chocolate until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top into an even layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before adding the glaze.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. The mixture should be thick but pourable.
- Spread the glaze evenly over the surface of the cooled lemon brownies.
- Optionally, sprinkle additional lemon zest over the glaze.
- Slice into 16 squares and serve.
Notes
- For an extra zing, use fresh lemon juice and zest.
