Raspberry White Chocolate Dessert Bars


  • Author: not just recipe
  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 24 bars 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (227 g) butter

3 cups (510 g) white chocolate chips, divided (meaning you’ll use 2 cups first and then use 1 cup later)

4 large eggs

1 cup (212 g) granulated sugar

2 cups (284 g) all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon almond extract (optional – see note)

1 ¼ cups (425 g) raspberry jam

½ cup (60 g) sliced almonds


Instructions

1. Prevent your screen from going dark.

2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9X13-inch pan with aluminum foil or parchment (for easier cleanup) and lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray.

3. Add the butter to a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan and heat until melted. Add 2 cups of the white chocolate chips. Stir once or twice to submerge the chips in the melted butter, but that’s it. Don’t keep stirring!

4. In a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer (or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer), whip the eggs on high speed until foamy. Add the sugar, and continue to mix for 1-2 minutes until the mixture has lightened in color.

5. Stir in the butter and white chocolate chip mixture, flour, salt, and almond extract. Mix until well-combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

6. Spread about half (or slightly more than half) of the batter in the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes until just set throughout.

7. While the base layer bakes, stir the remaining 1 cup white chocolate chips into the remaining batter.

8. Immediately out of the oven, spoon the raspberry jam over the top. Let sit for a minute or so to melt the jam. Spread the jam into an even layer.

9. Dollop the remaining batter in spoonfuls over the jam. Don’t spread. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.

10. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the batter on top is set (a toothpick should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs). Cool completely before serving.
