Instructions
Step 1: Make the Brownies
- Preheat oven to 170°C (fan).
- Line a 20×20 cm pan with baking paper.

- Pour into the pan and bake for 30 minutes.
- Let cool completely before proceeding.
Step 2: Form the Truffles
- Trim the edges and crust off the brownies.
- Crumble the soft center into a bowl.
- Roll into 28–30g balls—you should get 15–20.
- Chill the balls on a tray for 30 minutes.
- If needed, reshape and chill again for 1 hour total.
Step 3: Coat in Pistachio Cream
- Mix chopped pistachios into slightly warmed pistachio cream.
- Dip each brownie ball using a fork, scrape off excess cream.
- Place coated truffles on a tray lined with baking paper.
- Chill for 1–2 hours before serving.
Tips for Success
- Use a high-quality dark chocolate for deep flavor.
- For extra nutty richness, add hazelnut crumbs into the coating.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
