Print Recipe

A thick and chewy cookie tart base studded with roasted pistachios and chocolate chips, topped with a rich dark chocolate ganache and sweet pistachio cream for a stunning dessert centerpiece.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup pistachio butter
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (to thin, if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped roasted pistachios (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch tart pan or springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add egg and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a dough forms.
  6. Fold in chopped pistachios and mini chocolate chips.
  7. Press cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until edges are golden and center is just set. Cool completely in the pan.
  9. For the ganache, heat heavy cream until just simmering, then pour over dark chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  10. Spread chocolate ganache over cooled cookie tart base and let set at room temperature or chill briefly to firm up.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together pistachio butter, powdered sugar, and milk (as needed) until smooth and pipeable.
  12. Pipe pistachio cream over the ganache in decorative dots or swirls.
  13. Sprinkle with chopped roasted pistachios to finish.

Notes

  • Allow cookie base to cool completely before topping with ganache to prevent melting.
  • Pistachio butter can be substituted with almond butter or another nut spread if needed.
  • Chill tart for easier slicing and firmer layers.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
