Tips
For a healthier twist, you can easily substitute the traditional brownie base with a healthier alternative such as a black bean brownie or a sweet potato brownie. Additionally, if raspberries are not in season or unavailable, you can replace them with frozen raspberries or use another tangy fruit like strawberries or blackberries. Finally, if pistachios are not to your liking or you have a nut allergy, you can swap them out for another variety of nuts like almonds or walnuts. By substituting ingredients, you can create a dessert that meets your dietary preferences and still satisfies your sweet tooth.
