Instructions
Making Blackberry Pistachio Dream Bars is a rewarding endeavor when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in melted butter and blend until crumbly.
3. Press the Crust: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until set.
4. Prepare the Filling: In a larger bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and baking powder until smooth.
5. Add Blackberries and Pistachios: Gently fold in the fresh blackberries and chopped pistachios into the egg mixture.
6. Pour Filling: Pour the berry-pistachio mixture over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
9. Cut and Serve: Once cool, lift the bars out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares or rectangles for serving.
