Perfect as a sweet treat or dessert, these bars combine fresh blackberries’ tartness with the crunch of pistachios for an irresistible texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Filling

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup chopped pistachios

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour. Mix until the mixture becomes crumbly. Press this crumbly mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk the 2 large eggs together with 1 cup sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light. Gently fold in the fresh blackberries and chopped pistachios, carefully mixing to keep the berries intact.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Pour the blackberry and pistachio filling evenly over the crust layer in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the dish to set properly. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the blackberries are fresh and not too ripe to prevent excess juice from making the bars soggy.
  • Use unsalted butter to better control the salt level in the bars.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing to preserve their shape.
  • These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the pistachios or substitute with additional blackberries or seeds.
