Millionaire’s shortbread – a recipe for the British classic with a shortbread base, a layer of caramel and a layer of chocolate, cut into squares. Millionaire’s shortbread, also called caramel shortcake, is so delicious and perfect with an afternoon coffee.

Ingredients
Instructions
Base
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan).
Mix flour and sugar in a bowl. Rub in the butter and bring the dough together.
Line a square tin of about 20×20 cm with baking paper. Press the dough into the tin and bake for about 20 minutes. Let the base cool.
Caramel layer
Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and let it bubble until it becomes a thick, golden caramel. It needs about 10 minutes. Stir along the way so the caramel doesn’t burn.
Pour the caramel over the cooled base. Chill for about 1 hour or until the caramel has set.
Chocolate layer
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a saucepan. Pour the chocolate over the cold caramel.
Melt the white chocolate and put it in a piping bag. Cut a small hole in the tip and pipe long lines across the dark chocolate. Drag a knife or a skewer through the chocolate to make a pattern. Chill for about 1 hour.
Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
