Equipment

9x9 inch square baking pan

Ingredients

White Chocolate Chip Brownies

1 ¾ cup white chocolate chips, divided Good quality like Ghirardelli
½ cup butter, cubed
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt

Ganache Topping

⅓ cup heavy cream
1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

White Chocolate Brownies

Preheat oven to 325. Line 9x9 baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, melt 1 ¼ cups white chocolate chips and butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
With a sturdy wooden spoon, stir in both types of sugar, then the eggs and vanilla. Stir well. Add the flour and salt and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Stir in ½ cup white chocolate chips.
Pour mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-24 minutes or until the edges look set. The center will appear underdone. The internal temperature for gooey, fudgy brownies should be 180-190 degrees. Cool brownies in the pan.

White Chocolate Ganache

Microwave the cream in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until warm. Do not boil. Add the white chocolate chips and ensure they are submerged in the cream. Let them sit for 3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Pour ganache over the brownies and spread into an even layer. Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set. Store leftover brownies covered in the refrigerator.

Notes

For thicker brownies, bake in an 8x8 pan and increase the baking time by 5-10 minutes.
Use good-quality white chocolate for smoother melting and better flavor.
Don’t overbake. Pull the brownies when the center still looks slightly underdone for a rich, fudgy texture.
For clean cuts, chill brownies 30–60 minutes. Cut with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts.
