Description
These Blackberry Pistachio Dream Bars feature a nutty pistachio crust topped with juicy blackberries, offering a delightful mix of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup crushed pistachios
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan. Line the pan with parchment if you prefer easy removal and neater edges.
- Combine crushed pistachios, melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix well until evenly moistened. Add flour and salt, stirring until just combined. The dough should hold together when pressed.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan, pressing down firmly to form the crust. Scatter fresh blackberries on top, distributing them evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan so the bars set and slice cleanly. Dust with powdered sugar before cutting into bars.
Notes
For best results, use fresh blackberries and ensure the crust is pressed firmly. Chill the bars briefly for cleaner cuts.
