Categories     Traybakes

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 9

200 g unsalted butter
100 g caster sugar
275 g plain flour
200 g unsalted butter
3 tbsp caster sugar
4 tbsp golden syrup
397 g condensed milk ((one tin))
200 g milk chocolate
100 g white chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan, and line a 9x9inch deep square tin with parchment paper.
  • Cream together the sugar and butter in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until smooth - mix in the flour until a dough is formed. It will be crumbly but the ingredients will be evenly dispersed!
  • Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of tin and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until pale golden on top!
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and leave to the side. In a large saucepan pour the condensed milk, butter, sugar, and golden syrup and melt on a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved - stir frequently to stop anything from catching.
  • Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up high and let the mixture come to boiling point and boil for 5-7 minutes stiring constantly so that the mixture doesn't catch. BE CAREFUL as the mixture is VERY hot and can burn you if it splashes back!
  • The mixture will be ready when it has changed to a slightly darker golden colour, and has thickened to a soft fudge texture!
  • Pour the caramel onto the shortbread base and leave to set for an hour in the fridge.
  • Once set, melt the milk chocolate and pour over the caramel - melt the white chocolate and pour over too - swirl it into the milk chocolate with the end of a cake skewer so it forms a pretty pattern.
  • Chill the shortbread back in the fridge for another 1-2 hours until the chocolate has gone hard**!
  • Chop your shortbread into the separate pieces and enjoy!

MILLIONAIRE'S SHORTBREAD



Millionaire's Shortbread image

Plain shortbread, a combination of the most basic ingredients in the baker's pantry, is an understated sweet, but millionaire's shortbread is a spectacle. It's a flashy cookie, topped with swoops of chocolate and chewy caramel made from condensed milk, butter and Lyle's Golden Syrup. A British confection made from cane sugar, Lyle's is found near the honey and maple syrup in any well-stocked supermarket, but if you can't find it, corn syrup makes a fine, if slightly less flavorful, substitute.

Time 4h

Yield 32 bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 tablespoons/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), at room temperature but not too soft
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons/55 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 tablespoons Lyle's Golden Syrup or light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 ounces/226 grams semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Make the shortbread layer: Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add flour and salt, and beat on low just until the mixture is evenly combined and the texture of coarse sand.
  • Tip mixture into prepared pan, and press down firmly into an even layer. Bake until top is dry and light golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
  • Make the caramel layer: In a medium saucepan, combine condensed milk, butter, Golden Syrup and salt. Cook mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, until it has thickened and changed from a milky yellow color to the color of butterscotch pudding, 10 to 20 minutes. It should read 220 degrees to 225 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Adjust the heat as necessary to keep the bottom from scorching. Stir in vanilla extract. Immediately pour the caramel over the baked crust and spread it into an even layer.
  • Prepare the chocolate: In the microwave or over a double boiler, melt the chocolate in short bursts, stirring often. Spread melted chocolate in an even layer over caramel. Chill until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes. To serve, cut the parchment-free sides away from the pan with a sharp knife, then transfer the shortbread to a cutting board using the parchment overhang. Cut into 32 small bars.

Combine the crunch of a shortbread base with a gooey caramel middle and chocolate topping, and you have millionaire's shortbread - the ultimate sweet treat

Provided by Member recipe by fetchgirl

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 1h

Yield Makes up to 24 squares

Number Of Ingredients 7

250g plain flour
75g caster sugar
175g butter, softened
100g butter or margarine
100g light muscovado sugar
397g can condensed milk
200g plain or milk chocolate, broken into pieces

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly grease and line a 20-22cm square or rectangular baking tin with a lip of at least 3cm.
  • To make the shortbread, mix 250g plain flour and 75g caster sugar in a bowl. Rub in 175g softened butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Knead the mixture together until it forms a dough, then press into the base of the prepared tin.
  • Prick the shortbread lightly with a fork and bake for 20 minutes or until firm to the touch and very lightly browned. Leave to cool in the tin.
  • To make the caramel, place 100g butter or margarine, 100g light muscovado sugar and the can of condensed milk in a pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Continually stir with a spatula to make sure no sugar sticks to the bottom of the pan. (This can leave brown specks in the caramel but won't affect the flavour.)
  • Turn up the heat to medium high, stirring all the time, and bring to the boil, then lower the heat back to low and stirring continuously, for about 5-10 minutes or until the mixture has thickened slightly. Pour over the shortbread and leave to cool.
  • For the topping, melt 200g plain or milk chocolate slowly in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Pour over the cold caramel and leave to set. Cut into squares or bars with a hot knife.

Tips:

  • Use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. Almond flour is a low-carb, gluten-free flour that is perfect for making diabetic-friendly shortbread cookies. It has a slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with the chocolate and caramel in these cookies.
  • Use a sugar substitute instead of granulated sugar. There are many different sugar substitutes available, so you can choose one that you like the taste of and that fits your dietary needs.
  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder. Unsweetened cocoa powder has a more intense chocolate flavor than regular cocoa powder, and it is lower in carbohydrates.
  • Use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate. Dark chocolate has a higher cocoa content and is lower in sugar than other types of chocolate.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.

Conclusion:

These diabetic millionaire's shortbread cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for people with diabetes or anyone who is looking for a low-carb, gluten-free dessert. With a few simple substitutions, you can enjoy this classic cookie without sacrificing taste or texture.
