Ingredients

  • 170g (6 oz) dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped
  • 115g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
  • 150g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 65g (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 200g (7 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 50g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
  • 1 egg (for cheesecake layer)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)
  • 2 tbsp pistachio paste or 3 tbsp finely ground pistachios
  • 3 tbsp chopped pistachios (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk in sugar, then beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  4. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add egg, vanilla, and pistachio paste or ground pistachios. Mix until well blended.
  6. Pour two-thirds of the brownie batter into the pan and spread evenly. Spoon cheesecake mixture on top, then dollop remaining brownie batter. Swirl gently with a knife.
  7. Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let cool in the pan, then refrigerate for 1–2 hours before slicing.
