Ingredients

How to make it

  • Grease a 20 cm loose bottom tart pan.
  • 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 into the prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate until firm about an hour.
  • Filling:
  • In your electric mixer cream the butter. Beat in the remaining ingredients. 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:
  • Place the chopped chocolate into a medium heatproof bowl, set aside.
  • In small heavy-based saucepan, bring the cream to a boil, carefully stirring until the cream has just boiled.
  • Pour over the bowl of chocolate and let stand for two minutes.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently mix the cream and chocolate continuously until the mixture becomes smooth Allow to cool to room temperature, give it a stir till it holds its shape and pour over the top .Chill for 2-3 hours. Dust with cocoa powder or chocolate drink if you desire.

    This sounds like a wonderful recipe, Ahmed. If I make this, there will be more than one slice missing! I guarantee that! Anything made with a ganache just has to be good! Thank you for taking the time to post it for everyone! Happy Holidays!

    Great recipe again Ahmed. Did you know how Nanaimos were named? According to Canadian legend about 35 years ago, a housewife from Nanaimo on Vancouver Island entered her recipe for chocolate squares in a magazine contest. In a burst of civic pride, she chose to dub the entry "Nanaimo Bars". The entry won a prize, thereby putting nanaimo on the map. Maybe we should try and name something after our country....
