3/4 cup unsalted butter (170 grams)

1 cup chopped white chocolate (170 grams)

3 large eggs (room temperature)

Instructions

Lemon Brownies

Pre-heat the oven to 350ºF.

Grease and line a 8x8” square pan with parchment paper.

Start by adding the sugar and the zest to a bowl. Rub the sugar and the zest between your fingers. When you do that, the crystals in the sugar will help the lemon zest release the natural oils, infusing the sugar with the citrus flavor.

Add the chopped white chocolate and the butter to a large mixing bowl. Place in the microwave until the chocolate and butter melt together, for 15 second intervals. Whisk until smooth.

Add the lemon sugar to the butter and white chocolate, whisk until combined.

Add the eggs and whisk.

Next add the lemon juice and mix to combine.

Add the flour and salt. Whisk until a smooth batter is formed.

Pour the batter in the prepared pan.

Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the top of the brownie is set. A toothpick inserted into the brownies should come off with no moist crumbs attached.

Let the brownies cool down for about 20 minutes.

Lemon Glaze

Place the powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice in. Start by adding one tablespoon, and add more as needed.

Simply pour the glaze on top of the brownies, and spread with a spatula.

You can add the lemon zest to the glaze, or sprinkle the zest on top of the glazed brownies.

Let the glaze set before slicing and serving, should take about 10 or 15 minutes.

Storage

Store the brownies in an airtight container. It can stay in the counter overnight. If storing longer than 2 days, store in the fridge and let it come to room temperature before serving.
