Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Base
  • 1 box Chocolate brownie mix A convenient option for a rich, fudgy base that saves time.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds ingredients together and adds moisture to the brownies.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter For a lush texture.
For the Pistachio Cream
  • 1/2 cup Pistachio cream Adds a distinct nutty flavor and richness.
  • 3/4 cup Powdered sugar Sweetens the cream and provides a smooth consistency.
For the Topping and Coating
  • 1 cup Pistachio nuts Crunchy and colorful, essential for both crust and topping.
  • 8 oz Dark chocolate Recommended for its rich taste.

Equipment

  • 9x9-inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Parchment paper
  • double boiler
  • Spatula

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend together your chocolate brownie mix, eggs, and melted butter until just combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  4. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  5. Once the brownie base has cooled completely, carefully lift it from the pan using the parchment paper.
  6. Cut the brownies into bite-sized squares and use your hands to roll each square into a ball.
  7. Create a small hole in the center of each brownie ball and fill it with a dollop of rich pistachio cream.
  8. Gently reform the brownie balls to ensure the cream is encased inside.
  9. In a double boiler, melt your choice of dark chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  10. Dip each filled brownie ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they're fully coated.
  11. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated brownie truffles on a parchment-lined tray to set.
  12. While the chocolate coating is still wet, roll each truffle in the crushed pistachio nuts.
  13. Once rolled, place the truffles back on the parchment-lined tray for the chocolate to set completely.
  14. Refrigerate the chocolate-coated brownie truffles for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm and set.
