WHITE CHOCOLATE BLONDIES



 WHITE CHOCOLATE BLONDIES
Blondies are a type of brownie dessert without the chocolate.  These blondies are a great treat primarily because of the white chocolate frosting.  It’s often true of brownies as well – the frosting is what makes it special.  If you don’t have cocoa butter, then make one of my other frostings – even a chocolate frosting would be fine, but it needs to taste like a regular, sugary-sweet frosting.  This dessert is a moderate carb dessert, so not something one can go hog wild on.  One or two servings a day and that’s about it for dessert!  My DH liked these.

1/2 cup butter, melted (125 mL)
Liquid sweetener to equal 2/3 cup sugar (150 mL)
1/3 cup granulated sweetner (75 mL)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract (5 mL)
1/2 tsp molasses (2 mL)
11/4 cups Gluten-Free Bake Mix 1 (300 mL)
1/2 tsp baking powder (2 mL)
1/8 tsp baking soda (0.5 mL)
1/8 tsp salt (0.5 mL)
White Chocolate Frosting:
Liquid sweetener (sucralose or stevia) to equal 1/2 cup sugar (125 mL)
1/4 cup whole, OR skim milk powder (50 mL)
3 tbsp whipping cream (45 mL)
3 tbsp powdered sweetener (45 mL)
2 tbsp vanilla whey protein (25 mL)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (25 mL)
1 oz cocoa butter, melted (30 g) (Microwave about 2 minutes – be careful – very hot!)

In food processor, process butter, liquid sweetener, powdered sweetener, eggs, vanilla extract and molasses well.  In medium bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Add to butter mixture and process one minute.  Pour into greased 8-inch square baking pan.  Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven 20 minutes.  Allow to cool and frost with White Chocolate Frosting.  Keep refrigerated.
