This bar is extremely popular in Canada at Christmas time, although it is NOT low fat. Warning! Highly addictive!

FIRST LAYER

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup Splenda
5 tbsp cocoa
1 egg - beaten
2 cups almond flour
1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut

Melt the first three ingredients in top of a double boiler. Add egg and stir to cook and thicken. Remove from heat. Stir in almond flour, coconut. Press firmly into an ungreased 8 x 8 pan. Cool.


SECOND LAYER

1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp and 2 tsp of cream (heavy cream like whipping cream)
2 tbsp vanilla custard powder (americans you won't find this in your stores it's english, so you can subsitute sugar free vanilla pudding powder)
2 cups splenda

Cream butter, cream, vanilla powder and splenda together well. Beat until light. Spread over bottom layer.

THIRD LAYER

4 squares (1 oz each) of semi sweet chocolate (or you could use 4 oz of your favorite low carb chocolate bar)

Almost forgot....Nanaimo Bars can be made ahead and freeze great! However to get the full flavour do allow them to warm up to room temperature before serving
