# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Brownie Base

01 - 6 ounces unsalted butter
02 - 6.5 ounces dark chocolate, broken into pieces
03 - 3 large eggs
04 - 1 cup superfine sugar
05 - 1/3 cup light brown sugar
06 - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
07 - 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
09 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Pistachio Truffle Coating

10 - 14 ounces pistachio cream, slightly warmed
11 - 3.5 ounces roasted pistachios, finely chopped
12 - Granulated sugar, for coating

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat your oven to 340°F with the fan on.
02 - Take an 8x8-inch baking pan and cover it with parchment paper, making sure the paper goes up the sides too.
03 - Put butter and chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short 20-second bursts, giving it a good stir after each until everything's melted and smooth. Let it cool down a bit.
04 - In another big bowl, mix eggs with both sugars using an electric mixer. Beat for about 4 minutes until the mix looks fluffy and light-colored.
05 - Stir in the vanilla, then slowly fold the cooled chocolate-butter mix into your egg mixture until they're just combined.
06 - Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together. Gently fold this into your wet mixture until you can't see any dry spots. Don't mix too much.
07 - Pour the batter into your lined pan and smooth it out. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes. It's done when the top feels firm and a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool completely in the pan.
08 - After they've cooled down, cut the brownies into squares and roll each piece into small balls.
09 - Take each brownie ball and dunk it in the warm pistachio cream, making sure it gets a nice thick layer all around.
10 - Roll your cream-covered balls in the chopped pistachios mixed with granulated sugar to get a crunchy outside. Pop them in the fridge to set before you eat them.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Try using fancy dark chocolate and top-notch pistachio cream for the best taste.
02 - You can mix in some crushed hazelnuts with the coating for extra nutty flavor.
03 - Keep your finished treats in a sealed container in the fridge and they'll stay good for 5 days.
