Cuban lunch baking
Cuban lunch is not just a great chocolate bar!
Cuban Lunch Nanaimo Bars
Base
¼ cup butter or margarine, melted
1 egg, whisked to combine
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cuban lunch bars, chopped
½ cup salted peanuts, chopped
Filling
½ cup butter or margarine, at room temperature
1 ½ cups smooth peanut butter
4 cups icing sugar
6-7 tbsp milk
Topping
3 oz semi sweet chocolate, chopped
3 cuban lunch bars, chopped
Method
Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine all the base ingredients until evenly moistened. Press into prepared pan and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and peanut butter until combined. Add the icing sugar and beat again. Add milk to make a smooth, thick filling. Spread filling over base and smooth with an offset palette knife. Chill until firm.
Lift the chilled base & filling from the pan using the parchment paper. Place on a large cutting board. Melt together the topping ingredients and pour over base, smoothly with an offset palette knife. Chill until the chocolate is set. Warm a serrated knife under hot running water, dry the blade and carefully cut the bars into 24-36 servings. Wipe the blade and rewarm between cuts for a clean presentation.
