Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

60g pistachios
150g white chocolate , chopped
100g unsalted butter , cubed, plus extra for the tin
200g light brown soft sugar
2 large eggs
½-1 tbsp rosewater
85g plain flour
100g white chocolate chips
dried rose petals , to decorate (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and butter and line a 20 x 20cm baking tin. Tip the pistachios into a pan and toast over a medium heat for 3-4 mins until aromatic, tossing occasionally so they don't burn. Set aside.
  • Melt the chopped white chocolate and butter together, either in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave in short bursts. Leave to cool slightly, then beat in the brown sugar with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the rosewater and ¼ tsp salt. Sieve in the flour and gently fold together.
  • Roughly chop the cooled pistachios, then add them to the blondie mix and fold in the white chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into the lined baking tin.
  • Bake for 35-40 mins until set and golden brown, then leave to cool completely before slicing. To serve, scatter with dried rose petals, if you like.
