Servings   25
Preptime   30 min

Ingredients
Bottom Layer- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 large egg, beaten
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups graham crackers
1 cup coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped
Middle Layer- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temp
 
2-3 tbsp milk or cream
2 tbsp vanilla custard powder
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar (confectioners/icing sugar)
Top Layer- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar and cocoa powder and then gradually whisk in the beaten egg. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (1 - 2 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, graham cracker crumbs, coconut, and chopped nuts. Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate until firm (about an hour).
Middle Layer- In your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add the remaining ingredients and beat until the mixture is smooth. If the mixture is too thick to spread, add a little more milk. Spread the filling over the bottom layer, cover, and refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes).
Top Layer- In a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the filling and refrigerate until the chocolate has set.
To Serve- To prevent the chocolate from cracking, using a sharp knife, bring the squares to room temperature before cutting.
