Nanaimo Bars : A favourite Canadian dessert
|
Nanaimo bars are considered to be a Canadian invented recipe. These are included in almost all dessert trays that are served at any kind of party or function here. They are sweet, rich and very very good!Because of the required chilling time for each layer they are time consuming but sooooo worth it!Bottom Layer:1/2 cup butter,1/4 cup granulated white sugar1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder1 large egg, beaten1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract2 cups graham cracker crumbs1 cup coconut (either sweetened or unsweetened)1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, coarsely choppedMiddle Layer:1/4 cup butter2 - 3 milk or cream2 tablespoons vanilla custard powder (Bird's) or instant vanilla pudding powder1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract2 cups powdered sugar (confectioners or icing) sugarTop Layer:4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips, 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips equals a one once square of chocolate1 tablespoon butterNanaimo Bars: Butter or spray a 9 x 9 inch (23 x 23 cm) pan with a non stick vegetable spray. Or line with tin foil and spray the tin foil with cooking spray.Bottom Layer: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar and cocoa powder and then gradually whisk in the beaten egg. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (1 - 2 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, graham cracker crumbs, coconut, and chopped nuts. Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate until firm (about an hour).Middle Layer: In your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add the remaining ingredients and beat until the mixture is smooth. If the mixture is too thick to spread, add a little more milk. Spread the filling over the bottom layer, cover, and refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes).Top Layer: Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the filling and refrigerate until the chocolate has set.See square cutting tips in the video.This recipe found at joyofbaking.com Music by: Jason Shaw
