Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter (113g)
4 ounces white chocolate, chopped (114g)
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour (94g)
7 ounces white chocolate, chopped (200g)
⅓ cup heavy whipping cream (80mL)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and lightly butter or grease with non-stick spray.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. When butter is mostly melted, add the white chocolate and stir until both the butter and white chocolate are fully melted and incorporated. Stir continuously as to not burn the white chocolate and remove from the heat as soon as melted.
Add the granulated sugar and kosher salt and stir or whisk until fully incorporated, then add the eggs and vanilla and stir until combined. Add the flour and stir until just fully mixed.
Pour the white chocolate brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-15 minutes, then lightly cover with aluminum foil and continue baking another 5-10 minutes {20-25 total} until the edges have darkened and a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Try not to over bake the brownies, especially if you prefer them on the fudgy side.
Allow to cool in the pan. You can speed this process up by placing them in the refrigerator.
To make the white chocolate ganache {optional}: Chop the white chocolate into small, fine pieces and place in a heat proof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until it's bubbling at the edges and is hot.
Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate and let it sit about two minutes before stirring it into a smooth ganache.
Pour the ganache over the cooled white chocolate brownies and allow it to set completely, about 2 hours. You can place the brownies in the refrigerator to speed up the setting the process. I also find chilled brownies cut into nicer slices.
Cut into desired size and enjoy!
