How To Make 3 layer no bake bars

Step 1

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, add in brown sugar & cocoa powder & whisk until well combine. While whisking vigorously, slowly pour in beaten egg. Return mixture to heat & cook for 1 - 2 minutes until mixture has thickened. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla. Add in graham cracker crumbs, coconut & pecans & toss until evenly coated. Press mixture into a buttered 8" x 8" or 9" x 9" baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap, place in freezer for 20 minutes or refrigerate for 40 minutes.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer set on medium speed, whip together butter, heavy cream & custard powder until smooth & fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stir in powdered sugar & blend until mixture is smooth & creamy, about 1 minute (mixture may seem dry at first but should start to come together). Spread mixture into an even layer over chilled graham cracker base. Cover with plastic wrap & freeze for 15 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 3

Melt semi-sweet chocolate along with butter in a heat proof bowl, set over a pot of simmering water. Spread mixture into an even layer over filling layer, cover with plastic wrap & chill in refrigerator for 10 minutes until chocolate has set. Cut into squares, store in an airtight container.
