Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, ensuring that there is an overhang on two sides. Butter the foil.

  3. Using a food processor, pulse 1/2 cup walnuts until they are almost finely ground. Be careful not to overprocess.

  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the ground nuts, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  5. Using a mixer on medium speed, beat 10 tablespoons of butter and brown sugar until the mixture is fluffy, which should take about 2 minutes.

  6. Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Then, beat in the vanilla.

  7. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until they are just combined.

  8. Fold in the white chocolate and the remaining 1/2 cup of walnuts.

  9. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.

  10. Bake the blondies in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until they turn light brown around the edges and spring back when pressed.

  11. Allow the blondies to cool slightly on a cooling rack.

  12. In the meantime, prepare the topping: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup and butter. Cook until the mixture bubbles and thickens, swirling the pan occasionally. This should take about 6 minutes.

  13. Add the cream
