Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 5.5 oz semisweet chocolate chopped
  • 0.8 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.28 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 fl oz pasteurized liquid eggs about 2 large eggs
  • 1.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.85 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.5 tsp espresso powder optional, boosts chocolate flavor
  • 0.8 cup shelled unsalted pistachios roughly chopped, for batter
  • 0.2 cup shelled unsalted pistachios roughly chopped, for topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment and lightly grease.
  • Melt butter and chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  • Remove from heat and let cool for 3 minutes.
  • Whisk in granulated and brown sugars until glossy and combined.
  • Stir in liquid eggs and vanilla. Beat 30 seconds to thicken slightly.
  • Sift in flour, cocoa, salt, and espresso. Fold just until no dry spots remain.
  • Fold in most of the chopped pistachios, reserving some for topping.
  • Spread batter in pan. Smooth the top. Sprinkle remaining pistachios over batter.
  • Bake 24–28 minutes, until edges set and a toothpick shows moist crumbs.
  • Cool completely in the pan. Lift out, slice into squares, and serve.

Notes

Variation: Swirl 2 tbsp pistachio butter on top before baking, or finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Storage: Keep airtight at room temperature for 3 days, or freeze up to 2 months.
