Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 8 oz (226 g) high quality white chocolate bars, chopped (Lindt or Ghirardelli bars)
  • 3/4 cup (168 g) unsalted butter, chopped into small cubes

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 1/4 cups (250 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups (219 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 3/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies later.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Using a double boiler on medium-low heat, melt together the unsalted butter and chopped white chocolate bars. Stir continuously to ensure the chocolate melts evenly without burning. Once melted and smooth, remove from heat.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes pale and smooth. An electric hand mixer on high speed can facilitate this step.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually pour the warm white chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine until smooth and fully integrated.
  5. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet ingredients just until no streaks of flour remain, taking care not to overmix.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a mini offset spatula to spread the batter evenly and smooth the surface for uniform baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 29 to 33 minutes. The edges should be set, and a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  8. Cool and Release: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan placed on a wire rack. Once cooled, carefully loosen the edges with a butter knife and invert the pan to gently release the brownies for slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner edges.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate such as Lindt or Ghirardelli for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to maintain a tender crumb.
  • The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so start checking at 29 minutes.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely to set properly before slicing to avoid crumbling.
