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. Make the Brownies: Preheat your oven to 170°C (fan). Line a 20×20 cm pan with baking paper. Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool. In a mixer, beat the eggs with both sugars for 4 minutes until the mixture is light and creamy. Add the vanilla extract, then gently fold in the cooled chocolate-butter mixture. Sift together the plain flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture carefully to maintain airiness. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes. Once done, let the brownies cool completely.
  2. Form the Truffles: Trim off the edges and crust from the cooled brownies. Crumble the soft center into a bowl. Using about 28–30g of the mixture each, roll into balls to make approximately 15–20 truffles. Place the balls on a tray and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. If needed, reshape and chill again to ensure firm truffles for coating, totaling about 1 hour of chilling time.
  3. Coat in Pistachio Cream: Mix the chopped roasted pistachios into the slightly warmed pistachio cream. Using a fork, dip each chilled brownie ball into the pistachio cream mixture, scraping off any excess to ensure an even coating. Place the coated truffles on a tray lined with baking paper. Chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours to set before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the richest flavor.
  • For an extra nutty depth, consider adding hazelnut crumbs to the pistachio coating.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • These truffles are perfect as elegant homemade gifts or party treats.
  • Experiment with other pistachio desserts like cupcakes, cakes, or cream puffs for more inspiration.
