Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup key lime juice
- 1 tablespoon key lime zest
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave in 20-second intervals until fully melted. Allow it to cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar to the melted butter until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in the key lime juice and key lime zest until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips to the batter for added sweetness and texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang. Dust the top with powdered sugar before cutting into 9 squares. Serve and enjoy!
