Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Base: Line a 9x9-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Melt the Butter Mixture: In a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over simmering water, melt 1/2 cup butter. Stir in sugar and cocoa powder until smooth. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Cook the Egg: Whisk in the beaten egg and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Incorporate Cookie Crumbs: Remove from heat and stir in the crushed cookie crumbs until well combined. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Press and Chill: Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the base to firm up. (30 minutes)

06

Step

Prepare Vanilla Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened 1/2 cup butter, vanilla pudding mix, and heavy cream until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Add the sugar slowly: Gradually beat in the sifted confectioners' sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Spread and Chill: Spread the vanilla cream filling evenly over the chilled cookie base. Return to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set. (30 minutes)

09

Step

Make Chocolate Glaze: In a double boiler or heatproof bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with vegetable oil, stirring until smooth and glossy. (5 minutes)

10

Step

Cool it slightly: Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly before pouring it over the chilled vanilla layer. (3 minutes)

11

Step

Spread and Chill: Spread the chocolate evenly over the vanilla layer. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set but not completely hard, about 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

12

Step

Cut and Serve: Using a sharp knife and gently heating it in hot water, cut into 25 squares. Return to the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. (5 minutes)

For easier cutting, run a large knife under hot water and wipe dry before each cut.
To intensify the chocolate flavor, add a pinch of espresso powder to the chocolate glaze.
Store the Nanaimo bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
