Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate
- 200 g (7 oz) granulated sugar
- 150 g (5.3 oz) unsalted butter
- 100 g (3.5 oz) plain flour
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 g (1 oz) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Toppings and Mix-ins:
- 100 g (3.5 oz) roasted pistachios
- 8–10 Ferrero Rocher chocolates
Instructions
- Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Cover an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring full surface coverage for easy removal.
- Melt 150 g unsalted butter and 200 g dark chocolate in a saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until completely smooth and glossy. Allow mixture to cool slightly.
- Whisk 3 large eggs with 200 g granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until the mixture becomes light and slightly frothy.
- Stream the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, stirring continuously. Sift 100 g plain flour, 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder, and ¼ tsp salt together in a separate bowl.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Do not overmix your batter.
- Mix 50 g of the roughly chopped roasted pistachios into the brownie batter. Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Gently press 8-10 Ferrero Rocher chocolates into the surface, spacing them for consistent distribution. Sprinkle remaining 50 g pistachios across the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes at 180°C (350°F). Your brownies are ready when edges are set but center remains slightly soft.
- Test doneness by inserting a toothpick between Ferrero Rocher chocolates. It should emerge with moist crumbs.
- Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into squares.
Notes
- Toast pistachios before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor and release essential oils.
- Melt chocolate and butter slowly over low heat to prevent burning and ensure smooth texture.
- Fold dry ingredients gently into wet mixture to maintain a fudgy brownie consistency.
- Line baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting of brownies.
