If you’re craving something indulgent, these pistachio brownies with a crunchy chocolate coating are just the treat! You start with a rich, fudgy brownie base, then top it with a creamy pistachio mixture made from real pistachios, white chocolate, and pistachio paste. To finish things off, the bars are dipped in milk chocolate mixed with crunchy cornflakes for that perfect bite. It’s a fun recipe that feels fancy but is surprisingly easy to make. Just take your time to let everything set in the fridge, and you’ll have a dessert that’s sure to impress (and satisfy any sweet tooth!).
Ingrediënten
If you want a shiny and crisp outer layer, temper the milk chocolate. This will also prevent the chocolate from melting quickly at room temperature.
For an extra creamy pistachio filling, lightly warm the pistachio paste before mixing it with the melted white chocolate. This ensures a smoother mixture.
Lightly toast the pistachios before grinding them to enhance their flavor.
It’s important to let both the brownie and pistachio filling cool and set properly. If you have time, it’s best to refrigerate the brownie overnight before coating it with chocolate. This helps the layers stay intact.
For an extra touch, you can decorate the bars with pistachios and rose petals.
Use a warm knife (dipped in hot water and dried) to cut the brownie into neat bars. This will give you clean, sharp edges.
Substitute vanilla sugar with vanilla extract.
