Marthe of Culinary Delights selected White Chocolate Brownies . When I saw this recipe on the list for June, I was really excited because when I first looked through Dorie's book this one definitely caught my eye. I have made brownies many times and with countless variations, but white chocolate and raspberry was a new one and that in itself was intriguing. I have to say though, I did not love these brownies. I thought the texture of the brownie part was a little too spongy and the meringue topping was not spectacular and didn't really add any flavor. This could be the result of the weather, but I am still not sold on the meringue topping for these brownies.
I did like that they were not over the top sweet and you could really taste the raspberries. I still love the flavor combination so I think that if I try these again, I would eliminate the meringue topping and substitute flour for the ground almonds to improve the texture of the brownies.
If you want the recipe drop on over and visit Marthe and to see what the other baker thought visit our TWD blog roll.

Mouthwatering white chocolate brownies...great pics!!
I can see why these brownies would really get your attention. They look fabulous!! Doesn't it seem like when we really look forward to something it never lives up to it's expectations? It's always a bummer when that happens.
These brownies look fab! Great photography!
Ciao Mimi ! You are right the meringue can be omitted. Your brownies are great !
i find the meringue completely off-putting and inappropriate. down with meringue!
pretty work, mimi. :)
Your brownies look so perfect! I'm glad you liked them, thank you for baking with me!
I have never seen white chocolate brownies before -- what a great idea! I bet they were fantastic with the raspberries.
I thought the meringue was a strange addition to these. Kinda bummed I put it on mine. I tried following along with a recipe exactly this time and it failed--underbaked.
I did like the flavor of it all though. Yours look great, as always.
White chocolate brownie? Look delicious...what a nice treat :-)
I must bookmark this lovely white choc brownies. Very beautiful!
wow what a delicious brownies.perfectly done nice topping..
Your brownies look gorgeous! I felt the same way about this recipe.
I'm not much of a white chocolate fan, but this is such an interesting recipe. The brownies actually look more like cake than the dense brownies I am used to seeing. They sure are pretty though. Let us know what happens when you make them with your changes!
Your presentation is beautiful! Sorry you didn't like these! I made my brownies without the meringue and I loved em!
These brownies have so much eye appeal; I also like the tanginess imparted by the berries.
Bummer, but I'm glad that you're going to work on the recipe. From the sound (& looks) of it, it has potential.

They look great! Sorry they were disappointing!
Even though these were not one of your favourites, they look scrumptious!
Too bad they weren't super, but they sure do look pretty!!
Oh wow ive never made white chocolate brownies before, these look so yummy!
These look beautiful, but too bad you didn't love them. This recipe didn't appeal to me at all (white chocolate and meringue), so I didn't make them, but looking at your pictures makes me reconsider...
Your pictures are beautiful. I'm glad you were able to correct the recipe but am so sorry you had to!
Your brownies make me weak with dessert hunger. I can't wait to try them.
Best,
Bonnie
