Lime & Ginger Blonde Brownie

This brownie is perfect for summer, it's rich and intense but also cool and refreshing thanks to the lime and ginger.
I love anything tangy, so I add a lime glaze on top!

Brownie ingredients:

4 eggs
140g butter at room temperature
250g of sugar
140g of white chocolate
150g of flour
30ml of 35% cream
100ml lime juice (the juice of about 4 limes)
the zest of 4 limes
10g of grated fresh ginger.

Frosting:

200g icing sugar
the juice of a lime
the zest of a lime

1- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper.

2- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a bain-marie or in the microwave.

3- Beat together the sugar and eggs.

4- Add the chocolate and melted butter to the sugar/egg mixture and mix well.

5- Add the cream, zest, lime juice, and ginger to the mixture.

6- Add the flour, mixing just enough to incorporate it.

7- Pour the mixture into the pan and bake. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top of the brownie begins to brown and is slightly cracked.

Once the brownie has cooled, frost it.

Icing Recipe:

Whisk together the icing sugar and lime juice, then stir in the zest.

Let the icing set, then cut the brownie and enjoy in the sunshine!
