Method

Line a 20 cm square pan with parchment. Melt 115 g butter with the sugar and cocoa in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Remove from the heat, beat in the egg, and cook briefly until slightly thickened. Stir in the crumbs, coconut, and almonds.
Press the base firmly into the pan and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
Beat the remaining 115 g butter with the custard powder, icing sugar, and cream until smooth and fluffy. Spread evenly over the base and chill until set.
Melt the chocolate with the last 30 g butter until smooth. Pour over the custard layer and smooth the top.
Chill until the chocolate is just set, then score into 16 bars and chill fully before cutting cleanly.
