Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
  • FILLING:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla custard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • TOPPING:
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions
  1. 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).
  2. 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).
  3. TOP LAYER: In a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter. Spread over the filling and refrigerate.

Boy... those look good....


All of Joyofbaking recipes are really great and this one is really GOOD!!


This is a great recipe! I don't make them too often because I think I can eat the whole thing.


One question... what size pan do you want to use for these? It was specified. :) I want to make these but I want them to be the right size.
