NANAIMO BARS RECIPE - NYT COOKING
The Nanaimo bar is a tremendously sweet, no-bake layered bar cookie from Canada made almost exclusively of packaged ingredients. The buttercream layer gets its yellow hue from custard powder, a vital ingredient that makes this a true Nanaimo bar. Use an offset spatula to give the chocolate top a surface as smooth as freshly Zambonied ice. The novelist Margaret Atwood included this recipe, from the chef Susan Mendelson, in her “Canlit Foodbook,” a fund-raising book that featured food from literature, as well as author recipes. Ms. Atwood prefers walnuts in this recipe, but any combination of walnuts, almonds or pecans will do. We’ve added a smidge more cocoa and the optional addition of salt — but leave it out for the true Nanaimo bar experience.

NANAIMO BARS RECIPE - FOOD.COM
Named after the city of Nanaimo in British Columbia, the first time this square was published under that name was in the early 1950's in the Vancouver Sun newspaper! This version of the original bar is from Company's Coming - 150 Delicious Squares! Later versions change the vanilla custard layer to mint or peanut butter but the original is my favourite. You can make this a day ahead of a special occasion or keep it in the freezer. I used to freeze half because I'm very weak & I would eat the whole thing myself BUT I soon discovered that it tastes good even when its frozen!

  • Line an 8"-x-8" pan with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray. Set a large heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water to create a double-boiler. Add butter and stir until melted, then whisk in sugar, cocoa powder, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Continue whisking until mixture thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes more.  Remove bowl from heat and fold in graham cracker crumbs, coconut, pecans, and salt. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and press into an even layer. Transfer to refrigerator and chill for 15 to 20 minutes, or until firm. Meanwhile, make the buttercream layer: in a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, cream butter and custard powder or pudding mix together until smooth. Add powdered sugar and salt and beat until well-mixed and mixture is like coarse sand, then add heavy cream one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Spread buttercream mixture over crust and refrigerate until firm, 25 to 30 minutes. Make chocolate layer: combine chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on medium power for 30 second increments, stirring between each round, until chocolate and butter are completely combined and smooth. Pour mixture over chilled bars smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and refrigerate until chocolate layer is smooth, 15 to 20 minutes. Cut into squares when ready to serve.
