Brownies
- 8 tbsp 1 stick Butter
- 4 oz Dark Chocolate
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 2/3 Flour
- 1/3 Cocoa Powder
Toppings
- 3 cups Kataifi chopped into small pieces
- 1/2 cup Pistachio Butter
- 2 tbsp Tahini
- 1 cup Dark Chocolate
- 1/4 cup Chopped Pistachio
- 1 tbsp Flaky Salt
Step 1: Prep the Brownies
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×9 square pan with nonstick spray, then add a layer of aluminum foil that hands over two sides and grease it again.
In a heat-safe bowl or measuring cup, melt a sick of butter in 30-second increments. Ain the chocolate pieces, vanilla extract, espresso powder, and salt. Stir well until all is melted and well combined.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar and brown sugar. Pour in the chocolate mixture and whisk together. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing each one until well incorporated. (This makes the top layer shiny.)
Add the flour and cocoa powder and fold until just incorporated. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before removing them from the pan and slice them into squares.
Step 2: Prep the Kataifi Filling
In a large pan over medium heat, melt butter then add in the chopped kataifi. Cook until it becomes a golden brown color, stirring frequently, about 10-15 minutes.
Transfer the kataifi to a bowl and combine it with the pistachio butter, tahini, and a pinch of salt. Spread the kataifi mix in an even layer over the brownies. Use a spatula to ensure it is nice and smooth.
Step 3: Add the Melted Chocolate and Garnishes
