Ingredients
- 150 grams plain flour
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 125 grams unsalted butter (melted)
- 400 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 75 grams unsalted butter (extra for caramel layer)
- 250 grams white chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch x 8-inch) square baking tin with baking paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until it forms a crumbly dough.
Step 3
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared tin to form an even base. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
Step 4
To prepare the caramel layer, combine the sweetened condensed milk, golden syrup, and extra butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and turns a light caramel color.
Step 5
Pour the caramel evenly over the cooled biscuit base. Return the tin to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
Step 6
Melt the white chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method) or in the microwave in short 20-second bursts, stirring after each burst to prevent overheating.
Step 7
Stir the teaspoon of vegetable oil into the melted white chocolate for a smoother, shinier finish.
Step 8
Pour the melted white chocolate over the cooled caramel layer, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 9
Refrigerate the slice for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate topping is set. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut into 16 squares or bars.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
