Preparation
- Line a 20cm x 20cm baking pan with baking paper. Set aside.
- Melt 180g dark chocolate and 170g butter in the microwave, 20 seconds at a time. Set aside.
- Mix 3 eggs, 200g caster sugar, 60g light brown sugar, and 1 tbsp vanilla extract with an electric beater or stand mixer for 4 minutes until pale and creamy.
- Fold in the slightly cooled chocolate butter mix with a spatula.
- Sieve 170g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder together, then add to the wet ingredients and fold in with a spatula.
- Pour the brownie mix into the lined tin.
- Bake in the oven at 170?C fan for 30 minutes.
- Once the brownies have completely cooled, cut off the sides and flaky top.
- Crumble the brownie into a bowl and make 28g-30g balls by rolling the crumbled brownie in your hands.
- Place the brownie balls on a lined tray that can fit in your fridge. This recipe should make approximately 15-20 balls.
- If the brownie balls are too soft and lose their shape, refrigerate for 30 minutes, then roll each one back into a ball. Place them back in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Chill the brownie balls in the fridge for 1 hour.
Coating
- Chop the pistachios into small chunks, then mix them together with the pistachio cream in a bowl.
- Remove the brownie balls from the fridge.
- Heat the pistachio cream for 5 seconds in the microwave to make it a bit runny; heat for another 5 seconds if needed.
- Dip each brownie ball in the pistachio cream, using a fork to scoop them out and scrape off the excess on the side of the bowl.
- Place the pistachio Ferrero Rocher brownie truffles on a tray lined with baking paper. Chill for 1-2 hours.

Notes
These brownies are rich and fudgy, and perfectly complemented by the pistachio coating. Adjust chilling times according to your preference for firmness.
