Ingredients:

  • 170g unsalted butter, melted
  • 180g high-quality white chocolate chips
  • 150g light brown sugar, packed
  • 50g granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • 190g all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 10 large fresh strawberries
  • 50g white chocolate, melted (for drizzle)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. Whisk the 170g melted butter with both sugars in a large bowl until the mixture looks glossy and smooth.
  3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla bean paste.
  4. Stir in the 180g white chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed through the sugary base.
  5. Gently fold in the 190g flour and 0.5 tsp salt.
  6. Spread the batter into your prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula until it reaches every corner evenly.
  7. Slice your 10 strawberries vertically, then cut a small V into the top of each slice to create a heart shape.
  8. Press the strawberry slices gently into the top of the batter in a 4x4 grid.
  9. Place in the oven for 25 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set.
  10. Let cool completely, then drizzle with 50g melted white chocolate until the pattern looks whimsically messy.
