Instructions
Lemon Blondies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line an 8x8 or 9x9 square baking pan with non-stick foil (this way you can lift the blondies right out of the pan and cut them). Set aside.
- Cream butter until light and fluffy, about 1 minute or so. Add in granulated and brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add in eggs, one at a time, beating until well after each addition.
- Add in flour, baking powder and salt; mix until well combined.
- Mix in vanilla extract, lemon zest and lemon juice.
- Spread batter (batter will be thick) evenly in prepared baking pan and bake for 25-26 minutes, or until blondies are lightly golden brown and no longer wet in the center.
- Allow to cool.
Lemon Whipped Cream Frosting
- With a standing mixer or hand mixer, whip heavy whipping cream and instant pudding (vanilla or white chocolate) until soft peaks begin to form.
- Add in lemon zest, lemon juice and powdered sugar. Whip until stiffer peaks form and it has reached the consistency of whipped cream.
- Spread over cooled blondies.
- Serve immediately and store leftovers in the fridge.
- Enjoy!
