If you’re a fan of rich brownies and elegant flavors, these Pistachio Ferrero Rocher Brownies will absolutely win you over. Imagine the fudgiest chocolate squares layered with creamy pistachio butter, crushed Ferrero Rocher pieces, and a glossy chocolate glaze. It’s dessert luxury you can bake at home, perfect for holidays, gifting, or just spoiling your family after dinner.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
These brownies combine two iconic flavors, the nutty pistachio and the smooth hazelnut chocolate from Ferrero Rocher. Every bite melts in your mouth with a balance of sweetness and crunch.
If you liked the buttery richness of my Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies, you’ll love this recipe even more. The texture is dense yet soft, and the aroma while baking fills your kitchen with pure comfort.
For chocolate lovers, it’s right up there with the Halloween Brownies Recipe, but fancier, richer, and totally festive.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
- 6 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, roughly crushed
- 2 tbsp pistachio butter (or spread)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Tip: Use the same smooth pistachio spread you’d drizzle on Homemade Sandwich Bread, it gives that creamy bakery-style swirl.
How to Make Pistachio Ferrero Rocher Brownies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla; mix until combined.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir gently until the batter forms.
- Fold in chocolate chips, crushed Ferrero Rocher, and pistachios.
- Pour half the batter into the pan. Add small spoonfuls of pistachio butter, then cover with the remaining batter.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is soft.
- Cool, drizzle with melted chocolate, and top with crushed pistachios.
When you slice into them, the gooey chocolate center and crunchy nut topping create that perfect balance, like the Chocolate Chip Rice Krispie Cookies, but even more decadent.
Lina’s Cozy Tips
- Don’t overbake; brownies continue cooking as they cool.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for contrast.
- Store in an airtight container, they taste even better the next day!
Pair them with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you’ll feel like you’re at a dessert café in Milan.
