Lemon mascarpone blondies

My husband loves blondies. Loves them. I find them a little boring, so I was happy to come across the lemon mascarpone blondies recipe at simplyrecipes.com. These have just the right hit of lemon.

  • 1/2 cup of butter, melted
  • 1 cup of tightly packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 8 ounces of mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons of lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour 

 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter and flour an 8X8 pan. Whisk together the melted butter and sugar in a bowl.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk.
  3. Add the lemon juice, zest, and mascarpone cheese and mix thoroughly.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, mix it all together.
  5. Pour into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack. Cut into squares and serve.

Makes 9 blondies
