Orange Chocolate Nanaimo Bars - Orangen Schokolade Nanaimo Riegel
Hello Friends,
Nanaimo Bars are a very traditional Canadian Cookie, Dessert that my grandma in Canada made since forever :-). I made this recipe with a little modern twist adding orange and it is divine - my co-workers basically ate them all within minutes... they are rich but very flavorful and lovely satisfying - you feel you had a very nice sweet treat...BTW you can make them any flavor you like maybe raspberry, cherry, caramel...etc..
hmmmm easy to make just need to be kept in a cool place - they were gone so fast, I had no chance to take pics - so I quickly took an image of the cookie tray :-)
Try and enjoy this classic!! Alissa

- 3/4 cup butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 8 tbsp cocoa
- 2 beaten eggs
- 2 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3/4 cup fine or medium unsweetened coconut

For the Chocolate Topping
- 1 cup of chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp butterTo Prepare the Base Layer
- In a small saucepan, melt together the butter, sugar, and cocoa over low heat.
- Add the beaten egg and continue to cook, stirring constantly to fully cook the egg with the mixture resembling a soft scrambled egg texture.
- Add the graham crumbs, coconut, and walnuts.
- Mix together until well combined then, press into the bottom of a parchment paper lined 9×9 inch baking pan.
To Prepare the Orange Frosting Filling- With an electric mixer, beat together the butter, orange juice concentrate, zest, icing sugar custard powder, and milk until smooth.
- This frosting should be very stiff but spreadable. 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. If it is too soft, add a little more icing sugar.
- Spread evenly over the bottom layer. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours before adding the chocolate topping.
TO Prepare the Chocolate Topping- Melt together over low heat, just until the chocolate is melted, don’t overheat it.
- Spread quickly over the chilled frosted layer. Return to the fridge until the chocolate sets.
- Cut into squares or bars. These freeze very well.
