Ingredients

• 100 grams coconut oil, solid
• 50 grams coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 200 ml coconut cream
• 100 grams maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 150 grams dairy-free dark chocolate
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch square baking tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the solid coconut oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Press this dough evenly into the prepared baking tin to form the shortbread layer.

Step 4

Bake the shortbread layer for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely in the tin.

Step 5

To make the caramel layer, combine the coconut cream, maple syrup, and sea salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes until the mixture thickens and deepens in color. Pour the caramel over the cooled shortbread and spread evenly. Let it set in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

Step 7

For the chocolate topping, melt the dairy-free dark chocolate and tablespoon of coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in short bursts until smooth.

Step 8

Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow it to set at room temperature before transferring to the fridge for complete setting.

Step 9

Once set, lift the shortbread preparation out of the tin using the parchment paper. Cut into 16 bite-sized squares using a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.

Step 10

Store the Millionaire Shortbread Bites in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
