FAQs about Strawberry Lemon Blondies

Q: Can I use frozen strawberries?

A: Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain them properly before use to avoid excess moisture, which could affect the texture of the blondies.

Q: Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?

A: While fresh is always best, you can substitute bottled lemon juice if necessary. Keep in mind that the flavor might not be as vibrant as fresh lemons.

Tips and Tricks For These Sweet Treats

Ensure your butter is at room temperature to blend more smoothly with the sugar.

Do not overmix your batter; doing so could make the blondies tougher.

When making the glaze, add the lemon juice gradually to get the consistency you want. It should be thick yet pourable.

Freezing Methods

If you want to make these blondies ahead of time, they freeze beautifully. Simply wrap individual blondies tightly in cling film, then place them in a ziplock bag or airtight container. They will stay good for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat them, defrost overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving.

Strawberry Lemon Blondies are so versatile that they pair well with a variety of sides. They can be served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. Or, to lighten things up, you can serve them with a side of fresh fruit salad.
