RASPBERRIES
Fresh raspberries are one of my favourite fruits to cook with. They taste amazing balanced with the sweet white chocolate in this easy blondies recipe and add a sharpness to the caramelly and gooey blondie.
Be sure to thoroughly wash and dry your fresh raspberries. As raspberries are fragile keep them whole and gently push them into the mixture when it’s in the tray and ready for the oven. ensure a proper flavour distribution in your white chocolate and raspberry traybake.
WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS
For this white chocolate and raspberry blondie recipe, white chocolate is pretty important. You do not need to break the bank using expensive chocolate chips, just use your favourite white chocolate chips and stud the batter.
If you don’t have any chocolate chips, then roughly cut a chocolate bar into large chunks and use that instead!

Top Tips
- As always, season your baking! Your raspberry blondies need a small pinch of salt and a few drops of vanilla essence. This helps to round out the flavour and make the perfect white chocolate raspberry tray bake.
- Don’t forget to thoroughly wash your raspberries, using fresh raspberries is great but you always need to wash your fruit. Rinse it under the tap or allow it to soak in some cool water for a few minutes. Thoroughly dry before placing them in the blondie mixture.
- This is my most important tip. Enjoy these raspberry blondies whilst they’re warm and gooey. Pour over some double cream, ice cream or even melted white chocolate and dig in. I think I need to make another batch…
Raspberry and White Chocolate Blondies Serving Suggestions
DESSERT
Everyone loves a quick dessert, make the white chocolate raspberry blondies ahead of time and then just warm them up in the microwave for 30 seconds prior to serving.
You can then add your favourite topping, be it sprinkles, cream, custard or even more raspberries!
ICE CREAM
Warm blondies fresh from the oven with cold ice cream are a match made in heaven. The two contrasting temperatures bring out the best in one another and will always leave you going back for more.
EDIBLE GIFTS
Package up these beautiful squares as presents for your nearest and dearest. They look lovely stacked together and can be warmed up/ served for 3 or 4 days after baking so long as they are kept in an airtight container. If the blondies are more than 2 days old I would recommend heating them up in 20 second bursts.
DECORATION
When I make these white chocolate raspberry blondies I don’t tend to decorate them as I just want to dig in. However, if you are making these for an event or to give away I would recommend adding a drizzle of melted white chocolate on top and decorating with dried raspberries. The finished white chocolate raspberry blondies will look gorgeous.
I used the freeze dried raspberries from Waitrose but I have also seen them available in health food shops and other supermarkets.

Storing white chocolate raspberry blondies / Making ahead of time options
White chocolate raspberry blondies are best when served straight from the oven. They are warm, gooey and the melted chocolate just oozes out.
If you do choose to serve these later on, they keep for 3 or 4 days after baking so long as the raspberry blondies are kept in an airtight container. If the blondies are more than 2 days old I would recommend heating them up in 20 second bursts in the microwave.
White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies Substitutions and variations
GLUTEN FREE WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY BLONDIES
To make this white chocolate raspberry traybake gluten free all you need to do is swap out the flour for your favourite gluten free flour and keep the quantities the same. Just be sure to check your other ingredients for gluten as allergens can hide in weird and wonderful places.
CHOCOLATE
The best way to make delicious variations with this recipe is to change the chocolate. I’ve used white chocolate in this recipe but milk or dark chocolate works very well too. Dark chocolate and raspberry makes for such a luxurious dessert, warmed with cream and you’ll be baking these again straight way.
If you don’t have chocolate chips you can chop up a chocolate bar and mix in the pieces.
STRAWBERRIES
If you’re looking for a lighter more summery blondies recipe, swap the raspberries for some freshly chopped strawberries, pop them into the batter and make Strawberry Blondies.
FAQS
What is the difference between brownie and blondie?
The main difference between brownies and blondies are the lack of cocoa powder in a blondie. Blondies tend to have a more vanilla and caramel taste whereas chocolate brownies are richer and have a higher chocolate content.
What is the difference between a blondie and a white chocolate brownie?
A blondie doesn’t use an cocoa powder, so if you are making white chocolate brownies with cocoa powder and white chocolate chips then you have a brownie but if you use white chocolate and no cocoa powder then you may have a blondie. Both are delicious and very similar. I think if I had to choose I would choose blondies, but it’s a close call.
How do you know when a blondie is cooked?
The top should be a light golden colour and if you place a skewer into the side it comes out clean. A skewer in the middle will probably have a little batter left on it, but that’s okay. The white chocolate raspberry blondies will continue to finish cooking once you’ve removed them from the oven.
If you like your blondies a little less gooey, then leave them in for a couple minutes longer than I suggest below.
Can you put fresh raspberries into blondies and brownies?
You can put fresh raspberries into blondies and brownies! In fact, I recommend that you do, raspberry blondies are so tasty and easy to make. Just don’t forget to give your fresh raspberries a good wash first.
