Instructions

Prep: Line and lightly grease a 6-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 350°F.

    Make the Brownie Base:

    • Melt the butter and sugar together in a saucepan over low heat. Add the milk, then remove from heat. Stir in the chocolate until melted and smooth. Let it cool.
    • Sift the flour and cocoa powder into a large bowl.
    • Pour the melted mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
    • Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top is set.

    Prepare the Filling:

    • In a frying pan, melt the butter and add the shredded filo. Fry until golden and crispy.
    • Transfer the filo to a bowl and let it cool for 15 minutes.
    • Mix in the pistachio butter until well combined.
    • Press this mixture onto the cooled brownie base.

    Make the Ganache:

    • Heat the cream until it begins to boil. Remove from heat and add the chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
    • Pour the ganache over the pistachio layer.

    Finish and Enjoy:

    • Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the ganache.
    • Chill in the fridge until set. Slice into squares and enjoy!
