Pistachio White Chocolate Ganache

1 & 1/4 cups white chocolate chips, or chopped white chocolate
3-4 tablespoons pistachio butter or 2-3 tablespoons pistachio paste, depending how much pistachio taste you want
1/2 cup heavy cream, bring to room temperature or warmed up, not cold
Can add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or corn syrup to ganache to thin chocolate ganache out as well

Chocolate Ganache

1 ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped semisweet bars
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, room temperature or warmed up, not cold (can also use 3 tablespoons any nut butter, like the pistachio butter or peanut butter, if you’re not wanting to use heavy cream)
Can add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or corn syrup to ganache to thin chocolate ganache out as well

½ cup chopped pistachios, add more if desired. I used salted roasted pistachios, but if you have unsalted pistachios, you can add some sea salt to the tops of these brownies as well. I love the sweet and salty!

Instructions How to Make Pistachio White Chocolate Brownies

brownie recipe

Preheat oven according to the instructions per your brownies and line a 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Make brownies according to box instructions using eggs, oil and water in a large mixing bowl and transfer the brownie batter to your prepared pan and bake until brownies are done, again according to the instructions.

Pistachio White Chocolate Ganache

Once the brownies have cooled, you can make the pistachio white chocolate ganache. In a medium sized microwave-safe bowl and melt the white chocolate in 30 second increments, stirring in between each increment until chocolate is melted.
If the heavy cream is cold, place it in the microwave for 20 seconds or until lukewarm.
Add the pistachio butter or paste to your melted white chocolate and mix together. Add the warm heavy cream and mix together using a whisk. Quickly, transfer the pistachio ganache to the top of the brownies, and spread out on top of the brownies, as the ganache will start to firm up. Make the chocolate ganache.

2 Options: Cream or Nut Butter.

If using the the heavy cream is cold, place it in the microwave for 20 seconds or until lukewarm. Add the warmed cream to the melted chocolate and quickly combine well and transfer to the top of the pistachio ganache and spread out evenly.
If wanting to use Pistachio butter or peanut butter, use 3 tablespoons to your melted chocolate.
If either of the chocolates are too thick, you can also add a tablespoon of coconut oil to your melted chocolate mixture.

Toppings

Add the chopped pistachio nuts on top and place the brownies in the fridge for a few minutes until the ganache has set completely. Remove the brownies from the baking pan and cut into squares and enjoy the pistachio brownie flavor fun!

Storing Pistachio Brownies

Refrigerator: Our chocolate ganache brownies that are not consumed the day they are made are best stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge for best results.
Bring to room temperature when ready to serve.

More Variations, Substitutions & Tips For Our Pistachio Brownie Recipe

Brownie Ideas: We used a boxed Betty Crocker Fudge Brownie Mix Family Size or these Betty Crocker™ Favorites Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix, both of these are awesome brownies, but you can use any boxed brownies that will bake in a 9×9 baking pan. You can also make a homemade brownie recipe like our Fudgy Chocolate Chunk Brownies!
Crunchy Nutty Pistachio Brownies: Can also add some pistachio nuts in the brownie batter if you want more pistachio love!
Chocolate Chip Love: Add some chocolate chips to your brownie batter if you want even more chocolate! Can we ever have enough?
Tip For Pistachio Ganache: The pistachio white ganache will firm up quickly, so make sure you are using room temperature or warmed up heavy cream when you add it to the white chocolate, because as you mix it up to fully combine, it will thicken up fast.
Stove Top Boiler Method for Melting Chocolate for Ganaches: The chocolate for the ganaches can also be heated on the stovetop. Just melt the chocolate on the stove, use the “double boiler” method by filling a saucepan with a small amount of water, bring it to a simmer over low heat, then place a heatproof bowl on top of the pot, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water. Add the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips to the bowl and stir gently until melted, removing from heat once fully melted; this method provides gentle, even heat to prevent burning the chocolate. Add the warmed up heavy cream and whisk together until fully combined.
Tip For Chocolate Ganache: The same goes with the chocolate ganache, make sure you are using room temperature or warmed up heavy cream when you add it to the white chocolate, because as you mix it up to fully combine, it will thicken up fast.
Flavor Boost: Add a boost of flavor to your white chocolate ganache by adding a yummy teaspoon vanilla extract if you desire.

So get ready to indulge in the ultimate dessert experience with our irresistible Pistachio Brownies. These delectable delights are filled with a creamy pistachio white chocolate ganache that will have your taste buds singing.
