Ingredients
Method
Prep
- Preheat oven to 180℃/350℉ and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Shortbread Layer
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy with the help of a whisk or mixer(stand/hand). Sift in the flour and salt and mix until just combined.
- Transfer to your prepared pan and press into an even layer then bake at 180℃/350℉ for about 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden.
Caramel Layer
- Combine the butter, sugar, salt, sweetened condensed milk, and honey in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Place over medium heat and mix with a whisk or spatula until melted and combined then continue mixing over the heat while the caramel bubbles and darkens to a richer colour. Once it’s ready you'll see it starts to thicken and pull away from the edge, 5-6 minutes, your caramel is ready.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Mix till combined.
- Pour onto the shortbread base, smooth to the edges creating a flat layer. Chill in the fridge for about 200 minutes so the caramel sets.
Chocolate Layer
- Chop the dark and white chocolate and melt either in a double boiler or microwave separately. Pour the dark chocolate over the caramel and smooth into an even layer.
- Pour melted white chocolate randomly and swirl with a skewer or toothpick for a marble effect.
- Chill for a few hours before cutting and serving.
Notes
Notes:
- line your baking dish and leave an overhang so it's easy to remove.
- Use room-temperature butter for making shortbread to ensure proper mixing and binding.
- When making the caramel make sure to stir it constantly so it doesn't burn on the bottom. If still sticks to the bottom lower the heat.
- Chill the caramel layer before adding the chocolate to ensure there is no mixing and we get even layers.
- Chilled millionaire’s shortbread is easy to cut.
