Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 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
Pistachio Cream
- 1 cup pistachio cream, preferably homemade
Pistachio Crust
- 1/2 cup crushed pistachios for rolling brownies
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking throughout the brownies.
- Prepare Pan: Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help with easy removal.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a mixing bowl, melt together the dark chocolate and unsalted butter until smooth, either using a microwave or a double boiler.
- Add Sugar and Eggs: Stir the brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture, then add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition to fully incorporate.
- Add Flour: Gently fold in the flour (or gluten-free blend) until just combined, taking care not to overmix for a tender texture.
- Swirl in Pistachio Cream: Carefully swirl the pistachio cream into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect while enhancing flavor.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set properly before handling.
- Roll in Pistachios: Once cooled, cut the brownies into bites and roll each piece in the crushed pistachios to form a crunchy, nutty crust.
Notes
- For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the brownies before serving.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute the pistachio cream with store-bought if homemade is unavailable.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for a week.
