Comment préparer

1
Line a 20 cm square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. Melt 75 g of the butter with the sugar, cocoa, and salt in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, stirring until smooth and the sugar begins to dissolve, about 4 minutes.
2
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the graham cracker crumbs, coconut, and almonds until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the lined pan, creating an even layer, then refrigerate for 15 minutes until set.
3
Beat the remaining 40 g butter with the custard powder and 2 tablespoons of hot water until smooth. Add the icing sugar gradually and beat until pale, thick, and spreadable. Spread the custard mixture over the chilled base and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

4
Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, stirring until glossy. Pour it over the custard layer and tilt the pan to cover the surface evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until the topping is firm but not brittle.
5
Lift the slab from the pan and let it stand at room temperature for 8 to 10 minutes. Use a sharp knife warmed and wiped dry between cuts to slice into 16 squares, then serve chilled or just slightly tempered.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

The crumb base balances cocoa, coconut, and nuts with a little salt; the cool custard layer adds creamy contrast, while the thin chocolate cap provides a clean bittersweet finish and satisfying snap.

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days, placing parchment between layers. The bars may be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
