Nanaimo Bars

Nanaimo Bars

How to make classic Nanaimo bars! These famous Canadian dessert bars have a chocolate coconut base, a custard filling, and chocolate topping!

Nanaimo bars are a Canadian dessert staple! There is probably nothing as famous as a Nanaimo bar when it comes to Canadian dessert cuisine, except perhaps for the butter tart. This buttercream custard-filled bar is a dessert lover’s dream!

The Nanaimo bar is a no-bake bar dessert that is (supposedly) named after the city of Nanaimo, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island. There are a few arguments over where it came from, but we all agree that it was made famous by Nanaimo at the least. It consists of a walnut and crumb-based bottom layer that is pressed into a pan. That layer is then topped by the middle layer, which consists of custard-flavored buttercream icing (which is the best part!) and then covered with melted chocolate. The melted chocolate then hardens, creating a hard chocolate topping.

Ingredients:
Bottom Layer
  • ½ cup salted butter
  • ⅓ cup sifted cocoa
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg beaten (this can be omitted)
  • 1 ¾ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¾ cup shredded coconut sweetened
  • ½ cup finely chopped walnuts

Middle Layer
  • 2 cups icing sugar (powdered sugar)
  • ½ cup salted butter room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons custard powder

Top Layer
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter

Prep Time:
10 minutes
Cook Time:
15 minutes
Total Time:
