Dry and Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Nuts and Chocolates
- 1/3 cup pistachios, chopped
- 4–5 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, roughly chopped
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Chop the pistachios and Ferrero Rocher chocolates roughly to ensure even distribution. Measure out all other ingredients and have them ready.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together until smooth. Stir consistently to avoid burning and create a velvety chocolate base.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Remove the melted mixture from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar until well combined. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract for enhanced aroma.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to ensure no lumps. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Add Nuts and Chocolates: Carefully fold in the chopped pistachios and Ferrero Rocher chocolates, reserving a handful for topping the batter once transferred to the baking pan.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the surface, and sprinkle the reserved nuts and chocolates evenly on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still looks slightly gooey.
- Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares to ensure clean slices and an ideal chewy consistency.
Notes
- Don’t overmix: Fold ingredients gently to avoid tough brownies and keep them tender.
- Measure flour carefully: Spoon and level flour when measuring to prevent dense texture.
- Use room temperature eggs: Helps the batter blend smoothly and rise evenly.
- Chop chocolates unevenly: Larger chunks create melted pockets while smaller bits add consistent sweetness.
- Let it cool: Rest brownies fully before cutting to develop the perfect chewy texture.
