What it is
British Columbia's triple-layer icon: a crumb-and-coconut chocolate base, custard-yellow butter icing and a glossy chocolate cap — no baking, all decadence. Ingredients: graham crumbs, cocoa, coconut, walnuts, butter, egg, sugar, custard powder, milk, icing sugar, semi-sweet chocolate. Recipe: 1) Press the warm chocolate-crumb mixture into a pan; chill. 2) Beat butter, custard powder, milk and icing sugar into the yellow middle layer; spread. 3) Melt chocolate with butter; pour over and tilt to coat. 4) Chill until set; score the top before cutting to avoid cracks. Serve: in small, rich squares with coffee. Flavor: fudgy, custardy, unapologetically sweet. History: named for Nanaimo, BC; recipes circulated in 1950s cookbooks and women's auxiliaries, and the city guards its claim with an official recipe and a 'bar trail' of variations.
