Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 sticks Unsalted Butter (170g)
  • 10.5 oz Dark Chocolate (300g)
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups Granulated Sugar (250g)
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour (120g)
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tsp Almond Extract
  • 1 cup Pistachios, chopped (130g)
  • 8 oz White Chocolate (227g)
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream (120ml)
  • 3 tbsp Pistachio Paste
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Almond Extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 335°F (170°C) and line a 9-inch square cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and granulated sugar until light, thick, and custard-like.
  3. Melt dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl, microwaving in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture and whisk gently until combined.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract and almond extract.
  6. Fold in all-purpose flour and salt until just combined.
  7. Stir in chopped pistachios evenly.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is shiny and crinkly, and a skewer comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan.
  11. While brownies bake, chop white chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl.
  12. Warm heavy cream until just scalding, then pour over the white chocolate. Let sit for one minute, then stir until smooth.
  13. Mix in pistachio paste and a pinch of salt until incorporated. Add optional almond extract if desired.
  14. Let the ganache cool to room temperature, then spread evenly over the cooled brownies.

Notes

  • Use good quality dark and white chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Do not overbake; the center should remain fudgy.
  • Cool brownies completely before adding the ganache.
  • Chop pistachios coarsely for more texture or finely for a smoother bite.
  • Almond extract enhances pistachio flavor but can be omitted.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
