What exactly IS a Zebra Brownie you ask? It is a chocolate brownie baked together with a white chocolate blondie/brownie, forming a combination of black and white. Hence the zebra.
The chocolate brownie is ultra fudgy, rich and gooey. To go completely overboard on the zebra theme I added white chocolate chips to this half of the mixture.
The white chocolate brownie is equally as fudgy and gooey but is sweet with white chocolate rather than rich. (This half has the regular chocolate chips). The balance between rich and sweet is perfect and the textures of both brownies are essentially the same so the flavours just seamlessly flow together as one.
I served this to many different people and no one could stop at just one. Including me of course…
For this recipe, I adapted my Chewy Brownie recipe and my White Chocolate Blondie recipe. I made a couple of little tweaks to each recipe and baked them in a 9″x9″ baking pan rather than an 8″x8″. The reason behind this is the brownie mixtures were a bit big for the 8×8 so would not cook in the center properly. There’s gooey, and then there’s uncooked gooey.
The most notable change I made to both brownies is I omitted the baking soda in the white chocolate brownie. I found this ensured both types of brownies remained super fudgy and neither ‘grew’ too much in the cooking process as the only leavening agent in these are the eggs. I found using baking soda made the white chocolate brownie grow a lot more than the chocolate brownie and became more cakey with with extended cooking time. The texture just isn’t what you want with these Zebra Brownies so please don’t add any baking soda!
I hope you enjoy these Zebra Brownies and I truly hope you give this recipe a go and remember to rate and report back your results in the comments below. I love reading your comments!
