Chocolate brownies with Hazelnut Ice Cream

These Chocolate brownies are the best brownies we have ever made/tried/gifted. Mmm, so fudgy, full of three types of chocolate (yaaas, three!) and delicious green pistachios. Fantastic. Top top it off we added a generous dollop of delicious Maxim hazelnut ice cream - yup, heaven material. As a gift, celebration or a quick dessert, these are a great choice. You simply mix all of the ingredients together, add pistachios and chocolate. Then place in the oven for about 15 - 20 minutes. Try to resist eating them warm (I know, it's hard), cut on slices and serve with a generous scoop of hazelnut ice cream. I know I would be forever grateful if you would serve me this dessert. Simple, quick and h e a v e n l y delicious. Thanks to Ljubljanske mlekarne for making such a delicious ice cream.
