Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups milk
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • ¼ cup coconut cream
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: lemon/orange zest, chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Bake the chocolate base: Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix melted butter and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; mix until smooth. Fold dry ingredients into wet until combined. Spread in an 8×8 pan and bake for 18–20 minutes at 175°C. Cool completely.
  2. Make the cream custard layer: Whisk milk, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Add egg yolks and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until thick, smooth, and pudding-like. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Pour over cooled chocolate base and chill for 1 hour.
  3. Prepare the caramel: Heat sugar and water without stirring until deep amber. Remove from heat; whisk in coconut cream and salt. Cool slightly until pourable but thick.
  4. Finish the bars: Pour caramel over the chilled cream layer. Sprinkle citrus zest or chocolate shavings if desired. Chill for 2–3 hours until fully set. Slice into bars and serve.

Notes

  • Serve cold for the cleanest creamy layers
  • Add flaky salt on top for salted caramel style
  • Plate with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
  • Drizzle melted chocolate over the top for extra gloss
