| Yield: | 24 brownies |
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
- 5 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup roasted shelled pistachios, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
- Heat the butter together with the unsweetened chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat, whisking occasionally, until fully melted and smooth. Sprinkle in the cocoa powder while whisking; whisk until smooth. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the sugar and vanilla until just combined. Stir in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the flour until just combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, distributing it evenly.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow the brownies to cool completely, then flip out onto a cutting board. Cut the brownies into bite-size pieces and transfer to a baking rack.
- Put the bittersweet chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat the cream over medium-high heat until the edges begin to bubble, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately pour the cream over the chocolate. Allow to sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Spoon the ganache over the brownie pieces until completely covered. Sprinkle the top with chopped pistachios and allow to sit until the ganache has set, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve with toothpicks.

Reviews
How many eggs do I need? Recipe calls 3 large eggs but in video 5 or 6 eggs were poured in
This is a very simple brownie recipe but the best homemade ones I have made. My kids don’t love homemade brownies because they can tend to be too rich. These are perfect! I was able to make them quickly for a party. They were devoured. This is definitely a keeper.
I made the plain brownies without any glaze or nuts. They were so simple to put together and tasted great. This recipe is definitely a keeper! Maybe my new go-to brownie recipe.
Made for Mother’s Day and came out great!
Had to add more chocolate to make the ganache get thicker.
These are very good. Thank you for sharing
