How to Make Blondie Recipe
Step 1. Prepare the Egg Mixture (H3)
Using a hand mixer, whisk the eggs, sugar, and salt together in a bowl until the mixture lightens in color.
Step 2. Mix Dry Ingredients (H3)
In a separate bowl, combine the ground almonds, white flour, and baking powder. Stir these dry ingredients into the egg mixture until fully incorporated.
Step 3. Melt the Chocolate (H3)
Finely chop the white chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl with the butter. Suspend the bowl over a gently simmering bain-marie (double boiler), ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir until the chocolate and butter melt smoothly. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 4. Combine Chocolate with Blondie Dough (H3)
Once the melted chocolate has cooled, stir it into the blondie dough until fully combined.
Step 5. Prepare the Pan (H3)
Grease the sides of your springform pan with butter and line the bottom with baking paper. Transfer the dough into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 6. Bake (H3)
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the blondies for around 20 minutes. They should still be slightly gooey in the center.
Note: Make sure not to overbake the blondies. The center should remain a little soft and chewy for the perfect texture.
Step 7. Decorate (H3)
Remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Once cooled, decorate with sugar eggs, mini chocolate eggs, and chocolate bunnies. Return the decorated blondies to the oven’s upper half for about 3 more minutes to melt the chocolate decorations slightly.
Step 8. Cool Completely (H3)
Allow the blondies to cool fully before removing them from the pan. Slide them onto a cooling rack and let them cool completely.
Tips and Tricks
- If you want to add a twist, consider mixing in some dried fruit or chopped nuts into the batter for added texture.
- Make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water while melting the chocolate to avoid overheating it. Stir constantly for a smooth melt.
- These blondies make for a perfect Easter dessert, but you can also adapt the decorations for different holidays.
