Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 200 g white chocolate Use good-quality white chocolate for the best melt.
- 100 g butter Unsalted butter works best.
- 150 g sugar Provides sweetness without being overly cloying.
- 3 eggs They help with the texture and lift.
- 150 g flour Regular all-purpose flour is recommended.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds flavor depth.
- 1 Pinch of salt Enhances flavor balance.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a baking dish.
- Melt the white chocolate and butter in a bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth (3–5 minutes).
- Whisk together the sugar and eggs until light and airy (1–2 minutes by hand or 30–45 seconds with a mixer).
- Stir in the melted chocolate-butter mixture and the vanilla extract until glossy.
- Fold in flour and salt until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Tap to release air bubbles.
Baking
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center has a slight give.
- Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into bars.
Notes
For clean slices, chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before cutting. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil after 15 minutes.
