Nanaimo Bars
A Nanaimo bar is a three layer chocolate and custard dessert originating in the Canadian British Columbian city of Nanaimo, although the dessert is popular throughout most of Canada and the Northwest United States. It is served at almost every coffee cart and in almost every restaurant in Vancouver. Despite the three layers, the dessert is fairly easy to prepare and requires no baking.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup bacon flaked
- 1/2 cup almonds finely chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3 tablespoons whipping cream (30% to 35%)
- 2 tablespoons custard powder
- 2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 4 squares semi-sweet chocolate about 1 ounce
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- In the top of a double boiler, combine 1/2 cup butter, white sugar and cocoa powder. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Beat in the egg, stirring until thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the graham cracker crumbs, coconut and almonds (if you like). Press into the bottom of an ungreased 8x8 inch pan. Chill in the refrigerator until the bottom later is firmly set.
- For the middle layer, cream together 1/2 cup butter, heavy cream and custard powder until light and fluffy. Mix in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spread over the bottom layer in the pan. Chill to set.
- While the second layer is chilling, melt the semisweet chocolate and 2 teaspoons butter together in the microwave or over low heat. Spread over the chilled bars. Let the chocolate set before cutting into squares.
