Ingredients

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan). Line a small baking tin (about 7x4 inch) with parchment paper.
2. For the brownie: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, cocoa powder, salt, coffee powder (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and sugars until butter is fully melted. If using coffee powder, stir it in now.
4. Gradually whisk the warm butter-sugar mixture into the cocoa-egg mixture.
5. Fold in the flour until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the lined tin and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the centre is just set. Let the brownie cool completely before adding the filling.
8. For the pistachio filling: In a pan, melt 20g butter over medium heat. Add the kataifi pastry and stir continuously until it turns golden brown.
9. In a separate small pan or microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the pistachio cream until it reaches a pourable consistency. Stir in the tahini.
10. Combine the kataifi pastry and pistachio mixture, then spread evenly over the cooled brownie base.
11. For the ganache: Heat the double cream in a saucepan until just simmering (do not boil). Pour it over the chopped milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
12. Pour the ganache over the pistachio layer, spreading evenly. Let it set before slicing and serving.
