Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 oz (115g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1 tsp vegetable shortening or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy brownie lifting.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until just combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is glossy and thick.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt to prevent lumps.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix just until no streaks remain, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft when gently shaken.
  7. Remove from oven and let brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
  8. Melt white chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and creamy.
  9. Spoon melted white chocolate into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off. Practice piping on parchment paper first.
  10. Pipe your white chocolate messages or designs onto the cooled brownies. If mistakes occur, gently scrape off with a toothpick and try again. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature or chill briefly in the fridge.
  11. Use the parchment overhang to lift brownies from the pan. Cut into squares with a sharp knife, wiping it clean between cuts for neat edges.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for smooth batter. Sift dry ingredients to avoid lumps. Watch baking time closely to keep brownies fudgy. Melt white chocolate slowly at medium microwave power to avoid burning. Practice piping on parchment paper before writing on brownies. Cool brownies completely before piping to prevent melting. Use parchment paper overhang to lift brownies easily.
