This is from .I only made a little change in the final step by dusting the top with Nesquick chocolate drink ,which gave it a richer taste. Children loved it so much!! Ingredients:
bottom layer |
113 grams unsalted butter, room temperature |
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated white sugar |
1/3 cup (30 grams) unsweetened cocoa.+ extra for dusting. |
1 large egg, beaten |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
2 cups (200 grams) graham cracker crumbs (i used digestive crumbs) |
1 cup (65 grams) coconut (either sweetened or unsweetened) |
1/2 cup (50 grams) walnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped |
filling |
1/4 cup (56 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature |
2 - 3 tablespoons milk or cream (i used heavy cream) |
2 tbsp vanilla pudding powder |
1/2 tsp vanilla extract |
2 cups (230 grams) powdered sugar. |
topping |
4 ounces (115 grams) semisweet chocolate, chopped |
1 tablespoon (14 grams) unsalted butter |
1/4 cup chocolate drink |
Directions:
1. Butter a (23 x 23 cm) pan.
2. Bottom layer:
3. 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).
4. Filling::
5. 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).
6. Top layer:
7. In a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter. Spread over the filling and refrigerate.
8. To serve:
9. Dust the entire surface with chocolate drink. To prevent the chocolate from cracking, using a sharp knife, bring the squares to room temperature before cutting. Makes about 25 squares
