Decadent Pistachio Ferrero Rocher Brownies featuring a rich chocolate base coated in luscious pistachio cream and crunchy roasted pistachios, combining classic chocolate and nutty flavors into a luxurious dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Base

  • 170g butter
  • 180g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • 200g caster sugar
  • 60g light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 170g plain flour
  • 40g cocoa powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the Pistachio Coating

  • 400g pistachio cream (warmed slightly)
  • 100g roasted pistachios, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the butter and chopped dark chocolate together until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, caster sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and well combined. Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the plain flour, cocoa powder, and salt together, then gently fold into the wet ingredients until just combined, ensuring not to overmix to keep the brownies fudgy.
  3. Bake the Brownies: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray (approximately 20x20cm) with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the tray, leveling the surface with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, indicating fudgy brownies.
  4. Cool the Brownies: Remove the tray from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the tray on a wire rack to firm up before coating.
  5. Apply the Pistachio Coating: Once the brownies are cooled, gently warm the pistachio cream until it is pourable but not hot. Pour the pistachio cream evenly over the top of the brownies, spreading it smoothly using a spatula.
  6. Add the Roasted Pistachios: Immediately sprinkle the chopped roasted pistachios generously over the pistachio cream topping, pressing lightly to ensure they stick.
  7. Set and Serve: Allow the coated brownies to set at room temperature or refrigerate briefly to firm the pistachio layer. Cut into squares and serve, enjoying the delicious combination of rich chocolate and nutty pistachio flavors.

Notes

  • Use good quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa) for a rich and intense chocolate flavor.
  • Ensure the brownies are fully cooled before adding the pistachio coating to prevent melting.
  • You can substitute pistachio cream with store-bought or homemade pistachio paste mixed with a little cream for smoothness.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For an extra texture, add some chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates into the brownie batter before baking.
