How to Make Chocolate Cardamom Brownies With Chocolate Pistachio Icing
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease two 8x8 inch glass baking pans or one larger pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix until smooth.
- Add 2 cups granulated sugar and mix well until combined.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon ground cardamom, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir until just combined.
- Gradually add 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon batter evenly into prepared pan(s).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let brownies cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
- While brownies cool, prepare the ganache: In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, combine 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
- Stir constantly until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Remove from heat and stir occasionally until slightly cooled and thickened.
- Spread ganache evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Top with ½ cup chopped pistachios.
