Recipe of the Month - Nanaimo Pops

This recipe looks great!  I haven't tried it yet but came across it in Canadian Family magazine and thought I need to document this cause I love Naniamo Bars.  So if any of you give this a try let me know how it goes!

Nanaimo Pops
1.  Combine 1/4 cup butter and 2 Tbsp sugar in a bowl and set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until butter has melted.  Whisk in one egg and stir until mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes.
2.  Remove from heat and stir in 2/3 cup chocolate cookie crumbs, 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts and 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut.
3.  Spoon heaping teaspoons of mixture and form into 1 discs.  (These will be the bases of the pops.)  Chill while making next layer.
4.  For the filling, cream together 1/4 cup butter and 1 Tbsp creme fraiche or whipping cream.  Mix in 1 Tbsp vanilla custard powder and 1 cup icing sugar, adding additional cream if mixture is too stiff.
5.  Mound 1 Tbsp of the filling over the chilled discs.  Chill in freezer until firm, and then insert a lollipop stick into the middle of the filling.
6.  Melt 1 cup chocolate chips in a bowl over a pot of simmered water.  Stir in 2 Tbsp butter and mix until combined.
7.  Dip each pop into chocolate and let excess drip off.  Set on rack to dry then transfer to freezer until ready to server.

Enjoy!
