Pistachio Ferrero Rocher Brownies That Melt in Your Mouth Recipe

Introduction

These Pistachio Ferrero Rocher Brownies are rich, nutty, and irresistibly soft. Each bite melts in your mouth, combining dark chocolate with a creamy pistachio swirl and a crunchy pistachio crust. Perfect for a special treat or sharing with friends.

Ingredients

• 8 oz dark chocolate (opt for high quality)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free blend
• 1 cup pistachio cream (preferably homemade)
• 1/2 cup crushed pistachios (for rolling brownies)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Step 2: Melt the dark chocolate and butter together until smooth, using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler.
3. Step 3: Stir in the brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Step 4: Gently fold in the flour until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
5. Step 5: Swirl the pistachio cream into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
6. Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
7. Step 7: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before transferring them to a cutting board.
8. Step 8: Cut the brownies into bite-sized pieces and roll each piece in the crushed pistachios to coat the edges.

Tips & Variations

• For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the brownies before serving.
• If pistachio cream is unavailable, blend pistachios with a little oil and a pinch of salt to make a quick homemade substitute.
• Use gluten-free flour blend to make these brownies suitable for gluten sensitivities.

Storage

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the microwave or at room temperature before serving to enjoy their soft texture.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

Yes, you can use milk chocolate, but it will result in a sweeter and less intense chocolate flavor. Dark chocolate provides a rich, balanced taste that complements the pistachio well.

What is pistachio cream and where can I find it?

Pistachio cream is a smooth spread made from ground pistachios, often sweetened and creamy in texture. You can find it in specialty stores or online, or you can make your own by blending soaked pistachios with a bit of oil, sweetener, and a pinch of salt.
