Recipe information-Millionaire's Shortbread with Caramel
1 hour
Ingredients
For the shortbread:
- 200g plain flour
- 100g unsalted butter
- 50g caster sugar
For the caramel:
- 100g unsalted butter
- 100g light brown sugar
- 1 can of condensed milk
For the chocolate topping:
- 200g milk chocolate
Instructions
1. Let's start by making the shortbread base. In a mixing bowl, rub together the plain flour and unsalted butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Then, stir in the caster sugar and knead the dough until it comes together. Press the dough into a lined baking tin and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
2. Now, it's time to make the luscious caramel layer. In a saucepan, melt the butter, light brown sugar, and condensed milk over a low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and turns a golden caramel color. Pour this over the cooled shortbread base and allow it to set in the fridge for at least an hour.
3. Finally, let's add the finishing touch - the chocolate topping! Melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once smooth, pour the chocolate over the caramel layer and spread it evenly. Allow the chocolate to set before cutting the Millionaire's Shortbread into delicious squares.
Conclusion
Voila! Your traditional trifle with layers is ready to be devoured. Serve it up at your next gathering and watch as it disappears within minutes. Remember, the key to a good trifle is layers, layers, and more layers! Enjoy, my fellow trifle enthusiasts.
