Ingredients

• 150 g Almond flour
• 50 g Coconut flour
• 100 g Coconut oil
• 60 ml Maple syrup
• 300 g Medjool dates, pitted
• 100 g Peanut butter
• 100 g Canned coconut milk (solid part)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp Sea salt
• 150 g Dark chocolate (dairy-free)
• 60 ml Coconut cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

To prepare the shortbread base, melt the coconut oil in a saucepan over low heat. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir until you get a uniform dough.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool in the pan.

Step 4

For the caramel layer, blend the pitted dates, peanut butter, coconut milk (solid part), vanilla extract, and sea salt in a food processor until smooth and creamy. You may add a tablespoon of water if the mixture is too thick.

Step 5

Spread the caramel evenly over the cooled shortbread base and place the pan in the fridge to chill for about 1 hour.

Step 6

To make the chocolate topping, melt the dark chocolate and coconut cream together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler method) or in short bursts in the microwave. Stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 7

Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Return the pan to the fridge and let it sit until the chocolate is set, about 1-2 hours.

Step 8

Once fully set, remove the shortbread from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut into 12 squares using a sharp knife.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your Vegan Millionaire Shortbread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
