Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Light brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 150 grams White chocolate chips
- 250 grams Fresh or frozen cherries (pitted and halved)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for cherry compote)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cherries, 50 grams of granulated sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cherries release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to form a slurry. Add the slurry to the cherry mixture and cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 20-30 second increments until fully melted. Let it cool slightly.
Whisk in the light brown sugar and 50 grams of granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spread half of the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it into an even layer.
Spread the cooled cherry compote evenly over the batter, leaving a small border around the edges.
Carefully spoon the remaining blondie batter over the cherry layer, spreading it gently to cover the cherries as much as possible.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Slice into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy!
