WHITE CHOCOLATE AND LIME BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, cream together butter and sugars. Add lime juice, eggs, and vanilla and beat until creamy.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, lime zest, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and beat until combined.
• Stir in white chocolate chips. Dough will be thick and you may need to stir the chocolate chips in by hand. Spread into the bottom of prepared baking dish.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until just starting to turn golden brown. Do not over bake if you want a gooey bar. If you prefer a more cookie-like texture, bake for the entire time.
• Allow to cool for 15 minutes before cutting into bars.

WHITE CHOCOLATE AND LIME BLONDIES

Steps:

• FOR BLONDIES:
• Preheat oven to 350°F.. Line 9-inch square baking pan with foil, allowing foil to extend over sides. Butter foil. Combine butter and 4 ounces white chocolate in small saucepan. Whisk over low heat until melted. Remove from heat. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat eggs, sugar, peel and vanilla in large bowl until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stir in white chocolate mixture. Fold in dry ingredients. Spread batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle 1 ounce white chocolate atop batter. Bake until golden and top is dry to touch, about 35 minutes.(Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; store at room temperature.)
• FOR BLONDIES:
• Combine cream and white chocolate in small saucepan. Whisk over low heat until chocolate melts. Transfer to medium bowl and chill until cold, about 1 hour. Beat mixture until stiff peaks form. Fold in sliced berries.
• Using foil as aid, lift blondie out of pan and place on work surface. Using 3 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 4 hearts (reserve scraps for snacks). Place 1 heart on each of 2 plates. Spread berry filling over hearts on plates, dividing equally and maintaining heart shape. Top with remaining hearts set at slight angle. Garnish plates with halved strawberries, lime segments and mint. Sift powdered sugar lightly over hearts.

WHITE CHOCOLATE BLONDIES

Steps:

• Grease a 21 x 21cm brownie tin with a little butter, then line the base and sides with baking parchment. Place the butter and 100g white chocolate in a bowl, suspended over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir every few mins, until the butter and chocolate have melted. Remove the bowl from the pan and leave to cool for 15 mins. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl, with 1/4 tsp salt.
• Place the sugar and eggs in a large bowl. Using an electric hand whisk, beat the mixture until it looks thick and foamy - this will take a few mins. The egg mixture is ready when it leaves a trail from the beaters, which sits on the surface for 2 secs.
• Add the vanilla to the melted chocolate and give it a good stir - don't worry if it has separated. Pour into the whisked eggs and sugar. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together, until most of the buttery streaks have been folded in. Sieve the flour mixture into the bowl and fold together again, add the remaining chocolate chunks and stir until well combined.
• Pour the mixture into your tin, smoothing it into the corners. Bake for 30-35 mins for soft centred blondies (if you prefer a cakey texture, leave for another 5 mins). Check if the blondies are cooked by giving the tin a gentle shake, they should be mostly set but a little bit of a wobble in the centre is fine. Cool completely in the tin - the blondies will sink in the middle as they cool, just like brownies. If you try to remove the blondies too soon, they will be too soft to cut, so be patient. Once cool, cut into 16 squares. The blondies will keep for 5 days in a sealed container.

Chill while making filling.
• Beat whipping cream in medium bowl until peaks form. Beat cream cheese, sugar, lime juice, and lime peel in large bowl until smooth. Beat in remaining melted white chocolate. Fold in whipped cream in 2 additions; spread over prepared crust. Chill until filling is slightly firm, at least 2 hours. Using foil as aid, lift cheesecake out of pan. Cut into 9 bars. Garnish with chocolate curls, if desired, and lime slices or twists.
