Ingredients

• 150 grams Whole wheat flour
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 50 grams Sugar substitute
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 395-gram can Low-fat sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 150 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Fat-free evaporated milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, unsalted butter, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the shortbread base. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, combine the low-fat sweetened condensed milk, maple syrup, and cornstarch over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and turns a golden caramel color, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

Pour the caramel evenly over the baked shortbread base and refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.

Step 6

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the fat-free evaporated milk in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.

Step 7

Spread the melted chocolate over the set caramel layer evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Refrigerate the millionaire shortbread until the chocolate is firm, approximately 30 minutes.

Step 9

Once set, remove from the pan using the edges of the parchment paper, and slice into 25 small bites with a sharp knife.

Step 10

Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
