Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, extending it slightly over the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with a bit of butter.
- In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate. Melt them together using a double boiler method or by microwaving in short bursts (20-30 seconds), stirring after each burst until smooth and fully melted.
- To the melted butter and chocolate mixture, add the brown sugar and stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and the egg yolk, mixing until shiny and fully incorporated.
- Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour, gently folding it into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies dense and tough.
- Coarsely chop the pistachio nuts and fold them into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Ensure that the butter and chocolate are properly melted and well combined to achieve a smooth mixture.
- Do not overmix the batter once you add the flour; this will help keep the brownies fudgy.
- To enhance the pistachio flavor, you can toast the pistachios lightly before adding them to the batter.
- For easy cutting, let the brownies cool completely before slicing.
Your pistachio brownies are now ready to be enjoyed! Whether warm or at room temperature, these brownies offer a rich chocolaty flavor complemented by the satisfying crunch of pistachios. Perfect for dessert, a snack, or any celebration, these brownies are sure to become a favorite.
