White Chocolate Coconut Blondie
Pictures don’t exactly do these blondies justice. With no frosting or any of the usual studded chocolate chips, or dried fruits, these blondies look plainer than Jane.
But underneath that simple exterior, these blondies sure packed up a HUGE deal in the flavour department.
There might not be any visible embellishment in these brownies, but take a bite into it and be prepared to be pleasantly greeted with a creamy and textured experience in the form of shredded coconut.
I have used freshly grated unsweetened coconut in these to double up on the flavour.
I simply loved how the flavours from the white chocolate and the coconut seemed to meld. The combination worked, and the resultant blondie was something that was altogether fudgy from the white chocolate, and chewy from the coconut.
Of course, we can’t be excluding the white crackly top, which always promises the densest of the moistest brownies.
So if you are looking into something to jazz up your white chocolate fudgy blondies, or give it a somewhat tropical kick, these are definitely worth a try!
White Chocolate-Coconut Brownies
(Taken from Brown Eyed Baker)
Yield: 24 brownies
Prep Time: 25 minutes | Bake Time: 30 minutes
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
11 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup (8 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
1½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar
5 eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup shredded coconut
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the sides and bottom of a 9×13-inch glass or light-colored baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour and salt together.
3. Put the white chocolate and butter in a large bowl and set it over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Turn off the heat, but keep the bowl over the water and add the sugars. Whisk until completely combined, then remove the bowl from the pan. The mixture should be room temperature.
4. Add 3 eggs to the white chocolate mixture and whisk until combined. Add the remaining eggs and whisk until combined. Add the vanilla and stir until combined. Do not overbeat the batter at this stage or your brownies will be cakey.
5. Sprinkle the flour mixture and the coconut over the chocolate mixture. Using a rubber spatula (not a whisk), fold the flour and coconut mixture into the chocolate until just a bit of the flour mixture is visible.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake in the center of the oven for 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs sticking to it. Let the brownies cool completely, then lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.
7. Store at room temperature in an airtight container or wrap with plastic wrap for up to 3 days.
They look perfect! I’m not a huge fan of white chocolate, but I think I could definitely have these 😉

Ditto!
Oh! These look amazing!
These really look delicious. I missed them on the other blog and am delighted to see them here. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
i love white chocolate loads! but bakes with white chocolate seems really tricky for me. i dont think they’re plain…sometimes we just have to skip the mix-ins to truly savour the wonderful flavors of the blondie itself…this looks absolutely delicious to me 😀
the texture seems to sounds great..chewy and fudgy! yummy!
I’m wishing I had these now- they’d be perfect with the cup of tea I’m sipping. 🙂
What a delicious combo for a blondie. You must have been nibbling on these all day.
The texture of these is just great. Love the idea of adding coconut.
i heart brownies!!! never tried these one beforee!!! great post and pics
Nice pictures and colorful plates… that increase all my appetite
Love it
These look like the best of all worlds.
I could eat this with a mango puree drizzled on top with a a pina colada cocktail! Yum!
That sounds like a delicious idea! bye bye winter, welcome tropical beaches!
Thanks. http://calogeromirafoodand.wordpress.com

Looks so yummy, but unluckily I’m not into baking 😦

I am from Buenos Aires, and i am trying all kind of recipes from other countries…i ´ll do the recipe and let u know how it was!!! Mariela
Hi, happy baking ! i look forward to hearing from you!
I love White Chocolate and Coconut together. These are a MUST make!
Try my Cranberry Coconut White Chocolate Cookies!
Gorgeous photos. They look so yummy! I’m going to have to try this one, thank you.
I’ve never made blondies before, but this recipe has just convinced me that I need to make it a priority. They look fantastic. And congrats on the FP!
I will definitely be trying this recipe…thanks for sharing. And your pictures (with the colorful plates, spatula, etc.) make the blondies look even better!
A blog all about dessert? I’m in heaven! Thanks for sharing.
Where did you get your plates and bakeware? So adorable!
And I’m crying foul: It’s 2:52 p.m., time of my post-lunch sweets craving. You’re a meanie for posting this today…and for being Freshly Pressed. 😉
Okay. I know what I’m making for my weekend snack now! I have found such great recipes on WordPress that now I make something from at least one food blog on the weekends. I was going to make some shrimp w/cheesy grits tonight that I found on another blog, and now I have something for dessert! Thanks for sharing this.
Also, I love your images. They have a nice feel to them. The colors in the dishware are great and don’t compete with your coconut blondies. Nice job!
I’m in love!!! I love white chocolate and coconut, though I’ve never had them together! Can’t wait to try them together. Coconut is a popular ingredient in many a Caribbean dessert, and even main dishes – soups, salads, breads – so we always had fresh coconuts in our Dominican household. Dare I add a twist of macadamia?! I’ll let you know how they turn out. Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
Mmmmmm! These look delicious! 🙂
Looks delicious, I’ve never heard of a blondie! Oh how I wish I wasn’t on a diet.. !
This sounds delicious! I definitely have to try it!
Love to try it. Thanks for sharing this~
White chocolate and coconut are my husbands two favorite ingredients. You just became his favorite person. Thanks for the recipe.
Great! Now I’m craving one of those blondies! Ugh
Wow-I really want blondies now. Um and if that picture doesn’t do it justice, I can only imagine how good it tastes!
Your picture looks wonderful as do the tea cups. Can’t wait to make these delights. congrats on being freshly pressed.
Oh man, white chocolate and coconut are some of my favorite ingredients too! I can’t wait to try these.
Yummy 🙂
I might try hacking this into a grain-free version. Always looking for more ways to use coconut!
I half-think you should be a photographer instead of baking. Your photos make me want to gobble up those blondies!
Congratulations on being Freshly Pressed!

Sorry have to ask. Can the coconut be left out or substituted? I never got past the texture of coconut and possibly the taste. Just don’t like it. I could always tell if there was coconut in anything. My mom tried to sneak it past me but always failed.
Congrats on being FP!
Hi!
i am not too sure about leaving out the coconut, there might not be enough flour in there to keep the blondie from falling apart. U might want to try adding 2 more TBS of flour into the recipe just to be on the safe side (but then again this might cause the blondie to more more cakey and less fudgy). Hope this helps!
I love how decorative all your plates are! They almost make the food look more delicious. Actually, I’m pretty sure they do.
Looks nice even though I hate any coconut flavoured desserts.
Wow! I was just looking for this kind of recipe today.
Oh my this recipe includes my two favorite sweets: coconut and white chocolate! I’ve never had them together and will definitely try this one out! They look delicious!
wow they look divine!!! such pretty presentation too~:)
ive looked for this recepe a lot – thanx for great instraction for dummies!
I made these last night, but used Nestle white chocolate chips – just tossed in the whole 12 oz bag thinking the extra ounce of chocolate wouldn’t hurt anything. They turned out a bit gooier than I expected even baking an extra 5 minutes, but they are quite tasty! Thanks for the recipe. Peace, Linda
Those look yummy!
I’m posting blondies soon myself, but these look way better. I love the addition of coconut and white chocolate!
WoW! Yum, blondies are one of my favorite sweets. I think your photos are gorgeous.

“Hello Blondie!” She says, grabbing the tasty morsel in her hands.
The cake can’t talk back, but secretly its own consciousness is saying… “Who you calling Blondie? I’m a Chocolate desert!”
Love the pics!
