Time 1h24m

Number Of Ingredients 10

65 grams (1/2 cup) icing sugar or powdered sugar, sifted
140 grams (1 cup) plain flour or all purpose flour
75 grams (3/4 cup) desiccated coconut
115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) butter, melted
240 ml (1 cup) sweetened condensed milk
60 grams (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup or maple syrup, optional
Sea salt
225 grams (1 and 1/2 cups) milk or dark chocolate, broken into pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or coconut oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line an 8-inch square pan with baking or parchment paper, ensuring two sides overhang (this will make it easier to remove the slice later).
  • In a large mixing bowl, add sugar, flour and coconut. Whisk to combine. Add melted butter and stir until moist. Mixture should resemble wet sand.
  • Place mixture into baking pan and press down to form one even layer. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes or until the crust is slightly golden on the edges. Remove from oven and set aside while you make the caramel.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, add sweetened condensed milk, butter and syrup (if using). Place on a medium heat and stir constantly until the butter melts. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until caramel turns golden brown and thickens slightly. This takes at least 10 minutes so be patient!
  • Once caramel has thickened, remove from heat and stir in a pinch of salt. Pour over shortbread crust. Then bake for another 12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. Leave to cool for 30 minutes (sprinkle over extra sea salt if you like) before adding chocolate topping.
  • Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Once chocolate is melted and smooth, add oil and stir. Then pour over caramel layer. Spread out into one even layer and then place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to cool and set.
  • When you're ready to serve, carefully lift slice out of baking tin and cut into small squares. If it's too hard to cut (for example, if you left it in the fridge overnight), just let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or so and it will soften slightly.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup flour, (plain/all purpose)
1/2 cup brown sugar (, loosely packed)
1/2 cup desiccated coconut ((US: sweetened finely shredded coconut, Note 1))
125g / 4.5oz unsalted butter (, melted)
125g / 4.5oz unsalted butter (, roughly chopped)
1/2 cup (80g) brown sugar (, loosely packed)
1 tsp vanilla extract ((or essence))
395g / 14oz sweetened condensed milk ((1 can, 300ml) (Note 1b))
200g / 7oz dark or milk melting chocolate ((US: semi-sweet chocolate chips))
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (fan 160°C)
  • Grease and line a 28x 18cm (lamington pan) / 7" x 11" rectangle pan with baking/parchment paper (Note 2). Have overhang for ease of removal.
  • Mix together Base ingredients and press into a pan (I use an egg flip)
  • Bake for 15 minutes until the surface is golden. Cool in fridge if you have time (Note 3).
  • Lower oven to oven to 160°C/320°F (fan 140°C)
  • Place butter, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan over medium low heat. When the butter is melted, whisk to combine with sugar, then just leave it until it comes to a simmer.
  • When bubbles appear, add condensed milk. Whisk constantly for 5 minutes (Note 4), until you start getting some big slow bubbles on the base.
  • Once bubbles start appearing, whisk for 1 minute, then pour onto Base. Tilt pan to spread evenly.
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Don't worry if you get splotchy brown bits (this happens with ovens that don't distribute heat evenly).
  • Cool on counter for 20 minutes then refrigerate 30 minutes - bottom of pan should be warm but surface cool (not cold) to touch. (Note 5)
  • Place chocolate and oil in a microwave proof bowl. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until chocolate is fully melted (takes me 4 x 30 sec).
  • Pour over caramel, spread with spatula. Then gently shake pan to make the surface completely flat.
  • Refrigerate 1 hour or until set. Remove from fridge and leave out for 5 minutes to take chill out of chocolate slightly. Then cut into bars or squares to serve!

CARAMEL SLICE (SAM'S RECIPE)



CARAMEL SLICE (SAM'S RECIPE) image

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (150g) plain flour
1/2 cup (110g) brown sugar
1/2 cup (40g) desiccated coconut
125g butter, melted
100g butter, extra
2 x 395g cans NESTLE Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/3 cup (80ml) golden syrup
200g Premium Dark Chocolate melted
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 180*C/160*C fan forced. Lightly grease an 18cm x 28cm laming ton pan and line with baking paper. 2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar and coconut. Add melted butter, mix well. Press mixture firmly into prepared pan. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until lightly browned. Cool. 3. Combine extra butter, HIGHLANDER Sweetened Condensed Milk and golden syrup in a medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until smooth. Pour over base. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until caramel is golden brown. Cool. Combine melted NESTLÉ Milk Chunks and oil, stir until smooth, pour evenly over slice. Refrigerate to set. Cut into small squares to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a quality caramel: The caramel is the star of the show, so make sure you use a good one. You can make your own caramel or use a store-bought brand that you trust.
  • Don't overcook the caramel: If you overcook the caramel, it will become bitter and grainy. Cook it just until it reaches a light amber color.
  • Use a thick biscuit base: The biscuit base needs to be thick enough to support the caramel and chocolate layers. A good rule of thumb is to use a biscuit base that is about 1 inch thick.
  • Don't overcook the biscuit base: If you overcook the biscuit base, it will become dry and crumbly. Bake it just until it is golden brown.
  • Use a quality chocolate: The chocolate layer is another important component of the caramel slice. Use a chocolate that you enjoy eating and that has a good melting quality.
  • Don't overcook the chocolate: If you overcook the chocolate, it will become thick and gooey. Heat it just until it is melted and smooth.
  • Chill the caramel slice before slicing: This will help the caramel and chocolate layers to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Caramel slice is a classic Australian treat that is loved by people of all ages. It is a simple dessert to make, but it always impresses. With its rich caramel flavor, thick biscuit base, and decadent chocolate layer, caramel slice is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
