Millionaire's Shortbread
Preparation
Recipe for 16 portions
- Lightly grease a 20 cm cake tin with a depth of at least 3 cm or similar sized square tin if cutting into squares.
- To make the shortbread base, crush the Mevalia LP Frollini into a fine crumb*, add the melted butter and mix well.
- Evenly spread the mixture into the greased cake tin and place another tin on top, press down firmly and leave to set.
- To make the caramel, place the demerara sugar, syrup, butter and 50 ml MEVALIA Lattis/ ProZero into a pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved.
- Bring to the boil, stirring continuously, then reduce the heat and simmer very gently, stirring continuously for about 5 minutes or until the mixture has thickened slightly.
- Remove from the heat then add the remaining 25 ml MEVALIA Lattis/ ProZero mixing well, the mixture should now turn darker which is important. Immediately pour over the shortbread and leave to cool.
- For the topping, melt MEVALIA Chocotino/ Vitabite slowly in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Pour over the cold caramel and leave to set. Cut into squares, bars or wedges.
*Crush the biscuits by placing in a bag and bashing with a rolling pin or alternatively in a food processor
