CAPPUCCINO NANAIMO BARS

Ingredients

Bottom Layer

3/4 cup butter

1/3 cup sugar

8 tbsp cocoa

2 eggs, beaten

2 1/4 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (Oreo crumbs work well)

3/4 cup fine or medium unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans) toasted

Middle Layer (filling)

  • 3 cups icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp instant cappuccino powder
  • 2/3 cup butter at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
  • 4 tbsp milk or whipping cream (approximately)

Top Layer (chocolate)

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

To prepare the Base Layer

  1. Melt together the butter, sugar and cocoa over low heat.
  2. Add the eggs continue to cook, stirring constantly to fully cook the egg to a soft scrambled texture.
  3. Add the chocolate cookie crumbs, coconut and walnuts.
  4. Mix together until well combined, then press into the bottom of a parchment paper lined 9×9 inch baking pan.

To prepare Filling

  1. First sift together the icing sugar and cappuccino powder.
  2. With an electric mixer, beat together the butter, and icing sugar and cappuccino powder until it just starts to come together.
  3. Add just enough milk, a tablespoon or two at a time, until the icing is thick and smooth.
  4. This frosting should be very stiff but spreadable. (Much thicker than you would use to frost a cake for example) If you think it’s too thick, you may add a few drops of milk at a time to bring it to the right consistency.
  5. Spread evenly over the bottom layer.
  6. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours before adding the chocolate topping.
