Instructions

Preheat your oven to 335°F (170°C) and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar by hand until pale and thick, about 30 seconds.
Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second bursts. Stir in between until smooth and fully melted.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Whisk lightly until just combined.
Stir in both vanilla and almond extracts.
Sift in the flour and salt. Fold gently until no flour streaks remain.
Fold in the chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20–25 minutes until shiny with slight cracks on top; a skewer should come out with a few moist crumbs. Allow cooling completely in the pan.
While brownies bake, warm heavy cream in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it just starts to bubble at the edges.
Pour hot cream over chopped white chocolate; let sit for 1 minute before stirring until completely melted.
Add pistachio paste and a pinch of salt; stir until fully combined.
Let ganache cool to room temperature before spreading over cooled brownies.
