White Chocolate and Raspberry Blondies!
*This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure for more details!*
Easy, delicious, fruit and chocolatey white chocolate and raspberry blondies that everyone will adore and love!
So a few months ago I posted my version of some delicious white chocolate & pistachio blondies and they were such a hit! So many of you have made them and enjoyed them, and this made me extremely happy! However, this meant I knew I should and kinda had to do another blondie recipe after SO many requests.
Therefore, these babies were born. As a blondie is basically a brownie but without the chocolate theme in the batter, I went with the same recipe as my other blondies and it worked wonders.
White chocolate & raspberry bakes
I am obsessed with all things chocolate as we all know, but white chocolate is such a good pairing chocolate to go with so many different things. I adore all things so having these blondies is just the best of the best. My white chocolate and raspberry loaf is such a popular bake, as well as my white chocolate & raspberry tart.
I always want to post more and more recipes with similar tastes as I know you all love this combination of flavours as much as I do. My white chocolate and raspberry cookies are a super popular bake for bake sales, as well as these beauties so it’s a great bake if you’re stuck for an idea.
Blondies
So I have found my delicious blondie batter that I adore and love and want to make over and over again. This is slightly different to the original recipe I posted a few years ago (original recipe below if you still want to make it) but I am obsessed.
- Butter – this can be actual real butter, a baking spread, or even a margarine, but it starts off melted
- Sugar – I tend to use both white granulated sugar and light brown soft sugar, perfect balance
- Eggs – I always use medium eggs in my bakes these days
- Flour – just regular plain flour, or you’ll have cake, and I also add a little cornflour for a softer texture
- White chocolate – for the chips in the blondie, and for the drizzle
- Raspberries – freeze dried raspberries and fresh raspberries is perfection
The method
When it comes to getting the batter right – it’s a fine line between mixing the mixture enough, but not overdoing it! I tend to melt my butter until it’s liquid (but not split) – and then mixing my sugar’s into the butter for about 2 minutes. I use a 50/50 mix of white granulated sugar, and light brown sugar, but if you want the lighter more classic blondie colour just use all white granulated!
Then, I add in my eggs and vanilla, and beat again until smooth.Then, I add in the flour and the cornflour. You may ask why do you add cornflour? And that’s because it creates an epic texture. However, if you don’t have access to cornflour (or cornstarch as it’s known in other countries) then you can leave it out. I just adore it and use cornflour often in my bakes.
Then, it’s the chocolate, raspberries and freeze dried raspberries mixed through to create a beautiful blondie mixture that you can pour into your tin and bake. I bake for exactly 25 minutes until there is a small wobble in the middle of the tin. I leave them to cool fully in the tin, and then set them in the fridge for 2-3+ hours minimum and then I decorate.
Original Recipe
Every now and again I will update blog posts to new methods and ideas that I prefer, but I will always put the original recipes in the post.. here is this original recipe!
250g unsalted butter, 250g caster sugar, 3 large eggs, 175g plain flour, 1tsp vanilla extract, 250g white chocolate chips, 200g raspberries, 10-15g freeze dried raspberries
Tips and Tricks
- I use this 9″ square cake tin for this recipe
- I use these freeze dried raspberries
- These will last 4-5 days+ at room temp or in the fridge
- These can freeze for 3+ months
- The decoration is optional, but delicious.
- You can use frozen raspberries but they may cause a softer and squishier bake because of the extra liquid
- You can swap the raspberries for other berries

Hi Jane – do you think you could substitute the raspberries for a different berry? I’ve got some strawberries and blackberries i’m trying to use up in something!
Hey! I’m sure that would work well! X
I just tried these for the first time and they came out waaaay better than I could have ever imagined 😍 All of your recipes are so amazing that you actually make me want to bake something every single day!
Could I add swirls of raspberry jam? using a similar technique to the biscoff blondies? As well as the white chocolate and raspberries! Would that alter the bake time? 🙂
Yes you could!!
I tried these today – they taste amazing but my choc chips all seem to have sunk to the bottom and the bottom seems quite wet / gooey.
Anyone know what I’ve done wrong?
Defo trying again they taste so good!!
Hey! This can happen if your mix is a bit thinner than it should be or the chips are too small! You could try my other blondie method (white chocolate caramel blondies) if you prefer – or be really careful when mixing everything together! x
Hi Jane, can you add desiccated coconut to this recipie? If so, how much would you recommend?
Hey! Ohh I haven’t tried it, but it sounds DELICIOUS! I would say about 50g-75g or so?! It’s still quite a lot where it weighs so little but you definitely don’t want to overload it!
I used gluten free flour as my friends are coeliacs and found they didn’t rise well also found them very greasy and the tray bake was quite dark in colour unlike yours. Tasted lovely though
Gluten-free flour can be different from using regular flour as the properties of the two are different – and darkness can come from the oven being too high! It may be worth adding in xantham gum to help bind it, and also turning the oven temp down a bit which would help!
Hi this looks amazing i cannot wait to try! I have tried your triple chocolate brownies and my husband was extremely delighted! With your recipes could it be doubled? I want to make this in a rectangle traybake 32cm x 20cm. Xxx
Hiya! Use 1.2 x the recipe, hope this helps! x
Love white chocolate and raspberry as a combination. I made these today and although they tasted great and didn’t look awfully terrible they were very crumbly on the top, some slices broke apart and it took 1hr or so to bake for the knife to come out clean. Do you know where I went wrong here? Thanks!
That could be down to the oven you used, or even over whipping the eggs/sugar at the beginning (although that is quite hard to do!) x
Can this be made in 20cm round tin?
How should I adjust the time in the oven?
Thank you!!
Personally I wouldn’t recommend that – it’s about 2/3 smaller so it may stay quite raw in the middle! It’s best to reduce the recipe down by a third xx
Hi,
Just wondering do you do step 3 and 4 at the same time?
Really excited to give this a go! 🙂
No – you do step three first, and then you do step four.
Wanna try these! But Is setting in the fridge necessary?
It will improve the bake a lot if you do.
Hi Jane,
I have made these several times and I love them. do you add frozen raspberries to the blondies mix?
You can use fresh or frozen!
Hi Jane,
I can’t get hold of plain flour at the moment, would this recipe work with SR instead?
Thanks so much

I’m afraid with blondies it won’t really work – it will just come out like a cake!
I’ve made these before and they’re amazing,
Just about to bake them again only realised I do not have an caster sugar is it possible to use light brown & granulated or is that not suitable for this recipe? I’m just being impatient
Thank you
I would use light brown sugar for this method!
Amazing, thank you!
I’m going to make them now!
Made these today and they worked really well! Mine seemed to be a bit more cake like than brownie like though, any advice on what I might have done wrong?
They’re just overbaked slightly!
Each time I’ve made these, I don’t think they’re turning out correctly – greasy or choc chips all at the bottom. Really want to get them right.
How long do you whisk for? Doesn’t seem to be going think. Can I over whisk?
It can take several minutes at high speed with an electric mixer to whisk – if it never gets thick, you probably haven’t whisked long enough. If the mixture is too thin, the chocolate chips will sink and caramelise slightly causing the ‘greasy’ look.
Can you substitute cranberries for raspberries?
