Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 200g white chocolate
- 120g butter
- 1 egg
- 2 egg yolks
- 80g castor sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 100g plain flour
- 2/3 cup frozen mixed berries (or blueberries, raspberries, or fresh strawberries)
- 2/3 cup passion fruit pulp
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Line a medium-sized brownie or slice tray with baking paper.
- In a double boiler, melt the white chocolate and butter together, stirring gently but regularly until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, egg yolks, and castor sugar until pale and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then gently fold in the plain flour until just combined.
- Carefully fold in the frozen mixed berries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tray and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the blondies are baking, prepare the passion-mint coulis. In a small saucepan, combine the passion fruit pulp, chopped mint leaves, sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce the heat and let the coulis simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the blondies are baked, allow them to cool in the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the blondies drizzled with the passion-mint coulis.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality white chocolate with visible vanilla bean grains. The blondies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The passion-mint coulis can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Feel free to substitute fresh berries if available.
