Instructions
To Make the Shortbread
- Line a 9” square cake tin with non-stick baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180C (160C Fan).
- Add the butter and sugar together and mix until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Add in the flour and mix until a dough is formed.
- Press the dough into the bottom of your lined tin until it is flat and even.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
- Remove from the oven and leave to one side.
To Make the Caramel
- To make the caramel put the condensed milk, sugar, golden syrup and butter into a large pan over a low heat.
- Stir continually until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted. Turn the heat up to medium and boil until the caramel has thickened and darkened in colour. Stir continuously to ensure the caramel doesn’t burn.
- It should take between 7-9 minutes until the caramel is nice and thick. Remove from the heat and add in the red food colouring a little at a time. Mixing until you get the desired colour.
- Pour it over the top of your shortbread biscuit and leave it to cool. Put it in the fridge until the caramel has cooled and set.
To Decorate
- Add the chocolate to a heatproof bowl and melt in 20-second bursts stirring in between until it is smooth and completely melted.
- Pour the Chocolate over the top of the Caramel and smooth.
- Put the millionaire shortbread back into the fridge until the chocolate has set (approx 1-2 hours)
- Once the chocolate has set remove the shortbread from the fridge. In a bowl add the vodka and food colouring.
- Using a food -safe brush flick the red mixture over the top of the chocolate to create a spatter effect.
- Put the millionaire shortbread back into the fridge until the spatter has set.
- Remove, cut into individual portions and enjoy!
Notes
- This Millionaire Shortbread should last 1 ]week if stored in an airtight container.
- The vodka will evaporate as it drys leaving behind the red spatters meaning this is still safe for children to eat.
