Ingredients

• 150 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 80 grams Brown sugar
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 50 grams Desiccated coconut
• 395 grams Condensed milk
• 60 grams Golden syrup
• 50 grams Unsalted butter (for caramel layer)
• 200 grams Dark cooking chocolate
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm (8x8 inches) square baking tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and desiccated coconut.

Step 3

Melt 100 grams of unsalted butter over low heat and then add it to the flour mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking tin to form the base. Use a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to press it down firmly.

Step 5

Bake the base in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Step 6

For the caramel layer, combine the condensed milk, golden syrup, and 50 grams of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Step 7

Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes thick and starts to change to a shade of golden brown, around 10 minutes.

Step 8

Pour the caramel over the cooled base and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Return the tin to the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until the caramel is set and slightly darker in color. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

Step 10

To prepare the chocolate topping, melt the dark cooking chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth.

Step 11

Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled caramel layer and spread it evenly.

Step 12

Place the slice in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours or until the chocolate is set.

Step 13

Once set, remove the slice from the tin and cut it into 16 squares.

Step 14

Serve and enjoy your gluten-free classic caramel slice!
