Neapolitan Squares
Bottom Layer: 1 1/4 c. graham cracker crumbs 1/2 c. melted butter 1/2 c. brown sugar 1/3 c. flour Combine these ingredients and press into a 9 x 9 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. 2nd Layer: 2 c. medium shredded unsweetened coconut 11 oz (300 ml) sweetened condensed milk Combine these ingredients and spread over bottom layer. Place back into oven and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until a very slight tinge of light brown begins to show on edges. Cool. 3rd Layer (Icing): 2 c. icing sugar (powdered sugar) 4 Tbsp. butter 3 Tbsp. maraschino cherry juice (If you don't have the cherry juice, can use water, bit of red food colour and 1/4 tsp almond extract) Beat together, adding bit more cherry juice, if needed, to make icing soft enough to spread. Spread ontop cooled 2nd layer. Cover tightly and store at least a day to soften. Better to cut on 2nd or 3rd day. Cut into 36 squares. Keep covered airtight. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
