Method
- Put all the ingredients for the brownies into a food processor and blitz until well mixed. Spoon the mixture into an 18cm square cake tin.
- Put the tin into the freezer for around 15 mins, to firm up the brownie mix. Meanwhile, melt together the dark chocolate and coconut cream in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water.
- Once the chocolate mix has melted, smooth it over the top of the brownies, sprinkle with the pistachios and allow to set in the fridge for 5 mins. Cut into squares and serve, or store in the fridge for up to a week.
