Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and melted butter, stirring until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gradually sift in the flour, stirring just until combined. Pour the rich brownie batter into a lined 9x9-inch baking dish, smoothing the surface. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the dish for about 15 minutes. Afterward, gently lift the brownies out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper and place them on a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely, which should take an additional 30 minutes.
- Cut the brownies into bite-sized squares. Take each square and roll it gently in your hands to form a truffle-like shape. Apply a thin layer of creamy pistachio cream around each truffle.
- Melt your chocolate coating in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until completely smooth. Dip each formed brownie truffle into the melted chocolate, using a fork to ensure an even coating. Place each coated truffle on a parchment-lined tray for setting.
- While the chocolate is still slightly warm, sprinkle crushed pistachios over the top of each truffle. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or speed up the process by placing the tray in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.

Notes
To maintain freshness, store the brownies in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze individual truffles for up to three months.
