Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped (for brownie base)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 oz white chocolate, chopped (for frosting)
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting. Grease lightly.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 8 oz white chocolate and 1/2 cup butter, stirring gently until smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup sugar, 2 eggs, and 2 tsp vanilla extract until creamy and pale (about 2 minutes).
  4. Slowly add the melted chocolate-butter mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup flour, 2 tbsp cornstarch, and 1/4 tsp salt. Gradually fold into the wet ingredients with a spatula until thick and glossy.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 28-32 minutes, until edges are golden and center is just set. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then lift out and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool completely (about 45 minutes).
  9. For the frosting: In a small saucepan, melt 4 oz white chocolate with 3 tbsp heavy cream over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  10. Transfer to a bowl. Beat in 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp butter, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and a pinch of salt until fluffy and glossy (2-3 minutes with a mixer).
  11. Spread frosting generously over cooled brownies using a spatula.
  12. Chill in fridge for 20 minutes to set frosting (optional).
  13. Slice into squares, wiping knife between cuts for clean edges.

Notes

For gluten-free brownies, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. For dairy-free frosting, use coconut milk and vegan butter. Add fresh berries or nuts for variations. Do not overbake—check for moist crumbs. Frosting sets best when brownies are fully cooled. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
