White Chocolate Strawberry Cheescake Brownies.

I was a little confused as to what to call these divine little morsels. I was told the white chocolate equivalent of a Brownie is a Blondie. Someone else told me this is not the case. The main flavour in a Blondie is butterscotch not chocolate white or brown. In confusion I consulted the great God Google. Sure enough a blondie is made with brown sugar. Using white chocolate instead of brown gives you white brownies. Regardless these turned out to be lovely. A definite keeper. Nice crisp top and a squidgy middle I used my granddaughter's strawberry milkshake to flavour them. This of course drew her like a magnet and I had trouble keeping her away from them.
