Deep Chocolate & Pistachio Brownies image

Found in Family Circle. These have such a nice deep flavor of chocolate and the addition of some espresso does not hurt one bit! I could not find mini Hershey Kisses so I used some Nestle Semisweet Chocolate Chips and they worked fine.

Time 40m

Yield 24 brownie bites, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter (melted)
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cardamom (the longer its been in your spice drawer, the more you should use)
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces semisweet chocolate (for ganache icing)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (for ganache icing)
1 tablespoon butter (for ganache icing)
1 cup pistachios (hulled and roughly chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat over to 350°F.
  • Grease two 8x8 glass pans or one larger pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the butter and cocoa powder.
  • Add sugar, mix well.
  • Add eggs and stir until well combined.
  • Add vanilla, cardamom, and salt, stir well. Add in flour (until combined), but do not overmix.
  • Spoon mixture into pan(s) and bake for approximately 25 minutes (depending on pan size), until toothpick inserted into middle comes out clean.
  • Set brownies on rack to dry.
  • Once brownies are out of the oven, to make the ganache icing, using a double boiler, combine the chocolate, cream, and butter. Keep stirring until combined.
  • Remove mixture from heat. Stir occasionally until cool. Spread over brownies. Top with chopped pistachios.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will taste. Use a chocolate that has a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough brownies. Mix only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a greased and floured baking pan. This will help the brownies to come out of the pan easily.
  • Bake the brownies until they are just set. Overbaking will result in dry brownies. A toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These chocolate pistachio brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special celebration. With their rich chocolate flavor and crunchy pistachio topping, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
