Millionaire’s Shortbread Everyone Will Love

Irresistible Millionaire’s Shortbread

Growing up, one of my favorite treats was my grandmother’s Millionaire’s Shortbread. Every holiday, she would whip up a batch, and the rich layers of buttery biscuit, sweet caramel, and chocolate were always a highlight. I remember sitting in the kitchen, eagerly waiting for them to cool, while she shared stories of her childhood. The anticipation of that first bite, with its perfect balance of textures and flavors, made those moments unforgettable. This recipe captures that same joy and nostalgia, making it a delightful treat for any occasion.

ANNONCE

• ✦ 200g digestive biscuits (or Graham crackers)
• ✦ 100g unsalted butter, melted
• ✦ 100g caster sugar
• ✦ 397g can sweetened condensed milk
• ✦ 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ✦ 200g milk chocolate, melted
• ✦ 50g dark chocolate (for drizzling, optional)

Note: For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free biscuits.

Preparation Method:

Step One: Prepare the Base

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a mixing bowl, crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs with the melted butter and mix well. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 9-inch square baking tin to form a solid base. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.

Step Two: Make the Caramel Layer

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the caster sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens and turns a caramel color. Pour the caramel over the cooled biscuit base, spreading it evenly. Allow it to set at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

Step Three: Add the Chocolate Topping

Melt the milk chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler. Once melted, pour it over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly. If desired, melt the dark chocolate and drizzle it over the top for a decorative finish. Allow the shortbread to cool completely at room temperature or in the fridge until set.

Step Four: Serve

Once set, cut the Millionaire’s Shortbread into squares or bars. Serve and enjoy the delicious layers!
