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.
