TWD: White Chocolate Brownies

 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.

A couple of construction notes,  I lined the pan with parchment paper and just lifted the brownies out of the pan rather than turning them out and  I used frozen berries with no problems.

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.
