Ingredients Needed

Ingredients for white chocolate brownies.

Butter: creates a chewy, fudgy texture with a rich flavor.
Semi-sweet chocolate bar: adds a rich flavor. Its higher quality compared to chocolate chips makes it preferred.
Granulated sugar: adds sweetness and creates a chewy texture.
Light brown sugar: adds sweetness and creates fudgy brownies.
Eggs: add moisture and richness.
Vanilla: always use PURE vanilla extract for the best flavor.
All-purpose flour: gives the right amount of tenderness to the brownies (not too dense and not too cakey).
Cocoa powder: adds a deep chocolate flavor.
Cornstarch: produces thicker brownies and improves the shiny crust.
Salt: enhances the sweetness of the brownies.
White chocolate chips: you can also use a chopped white chocolate bar.

How to Make This Recipe

Melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate in the microwave until completely smooth.
Whisk the sugars and eggs together for 2-3 minutes constantly until pale in color.

Note: Whisking the eggs and sugar together until thickened and a pale yellow color is referred to as the “ribbon stage.” The mixture will fall from the whisk like ribbons. This technique creates taller and creamier brownies with a shiny crust.

Add the melted chocolate and vanilla to the sugar and egg and combine.
Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until combined.
Fold in the white chocolate chips.

Substitutions and flavor variations

For even fudgier white chocolate chip brownies, substitute ¼-1/2 cup of the granulated sugar with light brown sugar.
Some ideas for substituting the white chocolate: dark chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, chopped candy bars, toasted chopped nuts, candy-coated chocolates, and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.

How to Store

Keep these brownies with white chocolate stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerated for up to 1 week.

To freeze, wrap with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in a resealable freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw in the refrigerator overnight to enjoy.

Recipe FAQ

Can I bake these brownies in a 9x13 baking pan?

Yes! Double the recipe and check on the brownies after 30-35 minutes for doneness.

Can I substitute the unsweetened cocoa powder with another type of cocoa powder?

Yes, you can use dutch-process cocoa powder. You will have darker brownies with a more intense chocolate flavor.

How do I tell when brownies are done baking?

Your kitchen will begin to smell like chocolate, and the brownies will begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. The true test is inserting a toothpick into the center of the brownies, and if there are a few moist crumbs on the toothpick, they’re ready (a clean toothpick means the brownies are overbaked!).

Baking Success Tips & Takeaways

Line your baking pan with parchment paper, so it hangs off the sides. This makes it very easy to lift the brownies out of the pan to slice.
For a crackle-topped brownie, do not skip the step of whisking the eggs and sugar together for 2-3 minutes. This will incorporate the necessary air into the batter to create the perfect crackle brownies.
Select good quality chocolate for the best results! It’s important to use a semi-sweet baking chocolate bar instead of chocolate chips for the batter. Chocolate chips contain stabilizers and have less cocoa butter.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing so the butter and chocolate can solidify.
