Instructions

1
|
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring and scraping the pan every 10-15 seconds.
2
|
The butter will melt, foam, then turn golden brown with nutty aroma and small brown bits (about 5-7 minutes).
3
|
Remove from heat and add cocoa powder and milk or dark chocolate bar in hot butter.Mix thoroughly till there're no lumps in it and set it aside to cool.
4
|
Preheat the oven at 166C if you're using dark colour aluminum pan or at 176C if using lighter colour aluminum pan.
5
|
Line a square 8 inch baking tin with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
6
|
In a bowl add eggs, white sugar, light brown sugar, whisk together until most or all of the sugar granules have dissolved. This step is essential for achieving that shiny, crinkly top.
7
|
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the brown butter, cocoa powder, melted dark or milk chocolate mixture and vanilla extract. Mix everything together.
8
|
Add the all-purpose flour and salt and mix just until combined, avoid overmixing.
9
|
Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks until evenly distributed.
10
|
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30-40 minutes.
11
|
Begin checking at the 25 minute mark by inserting a knife into the center. The brownies are done when the edges are set and the knife comes out with a little batter still clinging to it. Depending on your oven, total bake time may be up to 40 minutes.
12
|
Let them cool down when they're done baking.
13
|
While the brownies are baking/cooling, start toasting the kadayif pastry. chop the pastry into small pieces, then heat up a pan over low-medium heat. add butter to the pan, and let it melt.
14
|
Add the chopped pastry to the pan and toast it in the butter over low-medium heat until it turns a golden brown colour.
15
|
Once the pastry looks golden brown and toasted, remove it from the pan and place it in another bowl. let it cool completely.
16
|
Now prepare the ganache. Add the cream and chocolate to a microwave safe bowl, and microwave in 15-20 second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is warm and the chocolate has almost melted.
17
|
It should continue to melt in the next 1-2 minutes. If it isn't fully melted, microwave for another 10-15 seconds.
18
|
Cover the bowl with a plate and let it rest for sometime till it's warm and it's not hot.
19
|
Once the brownies and the kadayif pastry have cooled completely, start assembling the layers. warm the pistachio cream in the microwave (don't make it hot) until it's a pourable consistency, then add this to the bowl with the toasted pastry.
20
|
Add the tahini to the pastry as well, and mix everything together until the pastry is completely coated.
21
|
Add the pistachio filling on top of the brownies and smooth it out into a thick and even layer.
22
|
Pour the slightly warm chocolate ganache over the pistachio filling.
23
|
Tilt the dish around so that the chocolate can spread into an even layer, then place the brownies in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes so that the ganache can set.
24
|
Let the brownies sit out at room temperature for a while before serving, and make sure you dip a sharp knife in hot water to get those neat cuts, slice up and enjoy.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🍫
    Whisk cocoa powder with hot water or melted chocolate before adding to batter to intensify chocolate flavor and eliminate any bitter, raw taste.
  • Toast Your Kadayif Pastry 🥜
    Lightly toast the shredded kadayif in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before layering to add crunch and deepen nutty flavors, preventing a soggy texture.
  • Temper Your Ganache Properly ✨
    Heat cream to just below boiling, pour over chopped chocolate, let sit 1-2 minutes, then stir gently in one direction for a glossy, silky ganache that sets perfectly.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄
    Fold ingredients together until just combined to avoid overdeveloping gluten, which results in tough, cake-like brownies instead of fudgy, dense ones.
  • Cool Before Layering 🧊
    Allow baked brownies to cool to room temperature before adding pistachio cream and kadayif layers to prevent melting and ensure clean, defined layers.
