Roasted Strawberry Goat Cheese Blondies

June 14, 2013 by bblondie 18 Comments

Roasted Strawberry Goat Cheese Blondies | ButtercreamBlondie.com

Last week I mentioned that sometimes simple is good and I’m happy to see you agreed.  I can’t believe how many of you hopped on the roasted strawberry recipe and loved them!  Thank you for the emails!  This week it was time to take simple one step further and put all those roasted strawberries to work.  Roasted strawberry goat cheese blondies are basically everything I could ever want in a dessert.  By this point, you know I’m goat cheese happy and we don’t even need to go into my love for blondies.  Add roasted strawberries to the mix, and you’ve got yourself one sweet summer treat!


Way back in the day I made my original strawberry goat cheese blondies using strawberry jam and they were amazing.  I’m often reminded of how good they are thanks to my friend Michelle who makes them for just about every get together she hosts.  By this point, I think she’s made them more than I have!  Anyway, last time she made them I could not stop thinking about how ridiculous they would be with roasted strawberries.  The idea haunted me till I finally gave in, and all I can tell you is they’re even better than the original!

The first thing you’ll need to do is roast some strawberries.  One batch will be enough if you can keep yourself from snacking on them!  Next you make the blondie batter and the goat cheese filling.  Stir all those roasted strawberries into the goat cheese filling and then swirl that into the blondie batter. Drop some more roasted strawberries on top  and send them off into the oven where everyone can get to know each other.  Once they cool and you can finally cut into them, you’ll be looking at something like this!

I told you they were even better than the original!  You first get this wonderful blondie and every few bites you get a pocket of strawberry cheesecake.  The goat cheese balances the sweet so well giving it a little pop and the roasted strawberries just make it that much better.  This is a great dessert for summer parties and since a lot of you will be doing barbecues this weekend for Father’s Day, there’s no time like the present!

I hope you all have a great weekend and I want to wish a Happy Father’s Day to all the great dads out there, especially mine!

    you don’t explain when to add the roasted strawberries! i’m assuming it’s whenever you add the goat cheese filling because you say drop the remaining 1/4 cup strawberries and push down. can you please advise if that is correct…..thank you blondie lover!

    Tried these today and they have taken at least 60 min to cook. I bake all the time, am a professionally trained pastry chef, and I followed your directions to the letter. Not sure why they are still jiggly and unbaked after such a long time. My oven is pretty accurate as everything usually cooks in the normal time range recipes give. The blonde batter is very butter heavy with 3 sticks of butter, and I am wondering if that is not the culprit.

      Hi Melissa, I’m sorry to hear that you had trouble with the blondies. I made them a few times over the summer and can tell you that when I first take them out of the oven, they usually do look a bit under baked in the middle. I then refrigerate them overnight and when I cut into them, they have that chewy blondie/cheesecake texture going on! I appreciate your feedback and will keep an eye on the bake time next time I make them to see if it needs tweaking. Thank you!
