Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Base:

1½ cups (340g) unsalted butter
12 oz (360g) dark chocolate, chopped
6 large eggs (room temp)
2 cups caster sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
2 tbsp vanilla extract
2¾ cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cup cocoa powder
½ tsp salt
¾ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup Nutella (slightly warmed)

For the Pistachio Topping:

3 cups (800g) pistachio cream or paste
1½ cups roasted pistachios, chopped
16 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, halved
Pinch of flaky sea salt
Optional: white chocolate drizzle or edible gold leaf

Instructions

Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13″ pan with parchment paper.
Melt: Over a double boiler, melt butter and dark chocolate until smooth. Cool slightly.
Whisk: In a bowl, beat eggs, both sugars, and vanilla for 4–5 mins until pale and thick.
Combine: Gently fold in melted chocolate mixture.
Dry Mix: Sift in flour, cocoa, and salt. Fold until just combined. Add chocolate chips.
Swirl: Spread batter in pan, dollop Nutella on top, and swirl with a knife.
Bake: 28–35 mins, until edges are set and center slightly wobbly. Cool completely.
Top: Spread pistachio cream evenly. Sprinkle pistachios and flaky salt.
Finish: Add Ferrero Rochers and drizzle with melted white chocolate. Chill before slicing.

Notes

Use room-temp eggs for that signature crackly top.
Slightly underbake for fudgy texture.
Chill before slicing for clean, café-worthy squares.
