Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

- Mix in the pistachio paste until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Spread the pistachio ganache over the cooled brownies evenly.
- Refrigerate the brownies for at least 30 minutes to set the ganache. Slice and serve, garnished with additional chopped pistachios if desired.
