Ingredients

  • 125 g (1 cup) White Chocolate Melted
  • 170 g (¾ cups) Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 75 g ( cups) Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 125 g ( cups) Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) Almond Extract
  • 2 (2) Large Free Range Eggs
  • 90 g (¾ cups) All Purpose Flour (Plain Flour)
  • 40 g ( cups) Almond Flour/Ground Almonds

For the Frosting

  • 113 g (½ cups) Unsalted Butter
  • 350 g (3 cups) Powdered Sugar (Icing Sugar)
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) Almond Extract
  • Powdered Sugar to decorate
  • Slivered Almonds to decorate

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180℃/370℉, Line an 8″ Square Pan with greaseproof paper.
  • In a small bowl, break up the white chocolate and melt in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between to make sure it doesn’t burn. Alternatively do this using a double boiler: Place the chocolate in a heat proof bowl resting on a small saucepan with simmering water. Stir until melted.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and both sugars. Add in the eggs and almond extract and mix again.
  • Whisk in the melted white chocolate until fully incorporated. Add the flour and almond flour and fold to combine. Pour into the lined dish. 
  • Bake 25-30 minutes until the topping looks just golden and the blondie looks firm (isn't wobbly). Let cool.

For the Frosting

  • Add the butter and almond extract to a large mixing bowl. Beat with a whisk on high for a minute to soften/combine everything.
  • Add half the powdered sugar, whisk on high. Then add the remaining half and whisk everything on high until fluffy. Add powdered sugar/milk as required to meet your desired consistency. Spread over the cooled blondies, and optional: scatter over slivered almonds and powdered sugar for that almond croissant look!
