How to Make Rich Nanaimo Bars
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- **Make the Graham Cracker Crust:** In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- **Make the Custard Layer:** In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk until combined. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
- **Make the Chocolate Ganache Topping:** In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), melt the semi-sweet chocolate and heavy cream together, stirring occasionally, until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the custard layer. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bars to set completely.
- Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
