Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 50 grams Caster sugar
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Unsalted butter for caramel
- 100 grams Light brown sugar
- 397 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 200 grams Dark chocolate
- 1 pinch Sea salt flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, cream together 150 grams of softened unsalted butter and 50 grams of caster sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Gradually add 200 grams of all-purpose flour to the butter mixture and mix until a crumbly dough forms.
Step 4
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking tin, ensuring the surface is level.
Step 5
Bake the shortbread base in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool in the tin.
Step 6
In a saucepan over low heat, combine 100 grams of unsalted butter, 100 grams of light brown sugar, 397 grams of sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tablespoons of golden syrup.
Step 7
Stir the caramel mixture constantly until the butter has melted and the ingredients are well combined.
Step 8
Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously to prevent burning. Cook for about 10 minutes until the caramel thickens and turns a deep golden color.
Step 9
Pour the caramel over the cooled shortbread base, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Let the caramel set at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Step 10
While the caramel is setting, melt 200 grams of dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, or in the microwave in short bursts.
Step 11
Pour the melted chocolate over the set caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes over the top.
Step 12
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for quicker results.
Step 13
Once set, remove from the tin and cut the millionaire shortbread into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.
Step 14
Serve these nut-free millionaire shortbread bites as an indulgent treat at any gathering.
