Ingredients
Directions
- Butter a 9-inch square baking dish. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter until just bubbling. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sugars until combined.
- Add the bittersweet chocolate, then stir to melt, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, then mix until well combined. Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt, then fold until well mixed. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake until just set in the middle, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- Cut and transfer the brownies to a food processor; alternately, you can use a hand mixer. Add the softened cream cheese and process until smooth.
- Using a mounded 1-tablespoon scoop, remove golf ball-size portions of the mixture and roll so that they are perfectly round. Place on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Place the tray in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the dark baking chocolate over a double boiler until smooth.
- Using a fork, dip the truffles in the chocolate, coating them completely. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet immediately, then sprinkle with the pistachios.
- Return to the freezer to let the chocolate harden for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Serve or transfer to an airtight container. The truffles can be stored at room temperature for a couple of days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
