White Chocolate Brownies

I will be happy to provide you with a recipe for delicious white chocolate brownies. In Italy, brownies are not traditional, but they are greatly appreciated for their moist and rich consistency. I might suggest adding an Italian touch, perhaps with the use of chopped Piedmont hazelnuts or a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the white chocolate flavor.

Ingredients

  • 150 g of high-quality white chocolate
  • 100 g of unsalted butter
  • 150 g of granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 100 g of flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 100 g of chopped hazelnuts (optional for an Italian touch)
  • 1 teaspoon of espresso powder (optional)

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20 cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a double boiler, melt together the white chocolate and butter. Once the two ingredients are completely melted and combined, remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is frothy and pale. Add the vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the white chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture.
  5. Sift the flour and salt (add the espresso powder if you desire that extra touch) and fold into the previous mixture.
  6. If desired, add the chopped hazelnuts and stir until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
  8. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the brownies are golden and the center is just set but still slightly soft to the touch.
  9. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, then cut them into squares.

White chocolate brownies are a variation of the classic American dessert, which usually involves the use of dark chocolate. The white chocolate version is sweeter and more delicate, and the addition of hazelnuts and coffee makes the flavor more complex and slightly closer to the Italian palate.

Remember that the secret to perfect brownies is not to overcook them; a slightly moist heart is what characterizes this dessert. Enjoy your meal!
