Ingredients
- 250 g unsalted butter
- 100 g caster sugar
- 300 g plain flour
- 50 g cornstarch
- 100 g soft light brown sugar
- 397 g condensed milk
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 1 pinch sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9x9 inch square baking tin with parchment paper.
Step 2
To make the shortbread base, cream together 125g of the butter and the caster sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Sift in the plain flour and cornstarch, then mix until a crumbly dough forms.
Step 4
Press the shortbread mixture evenly into the prepared baking tin.
Step 5
Prick the base with a fork and bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow to cool in the tin.
Step 6
For the caramel layer, melt the remaining 125g butter in a saucepan over low heat.
Step 7
Add the soft light brown sugar, condensed milk, and golden syrup, stirring continuously.
Step 8
Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and golden brown.
Step 9
Pour the caramel over the cooled shortbread layer, spreading evenly. Let it cool completely.
Step 10
To make the chocolate layer, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
Step 11
Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 12
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate before it sets, if desired.
Step 13
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature, then refrigerate to firm up before slicing into squares.
Step 14
Serve and enjoy your nut-free millionaire shortbread with friends and family!
