Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup pistachio paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, melt the butter and mix in the granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. In another bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, pistachio paste, and almond extract until smooth.
  6. Spread half of the brownie batter in the prepared pan, then layer the cheesecake mixture on top, followed by the remaining brownie batter.
  7. Swirl lightly with a knife to create a marbled effect, then sprinkle chopped pistachios on top.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the brownie layer.
  9. Let cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, chill the brownies overnight.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture.
