Method
- Preheat the oven to 180˚C, (160˚C fan ), Gas Mark 4.
- To make the shortbread, beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined, then add the flour. Work the flour in gently with your fingertips – until you have a crumbly mixture (don’t over work it!). Press the shortbread dough into the base of the prepared tin until you have an even layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes until pale golden. Leave to cool while you make the caramel.
- Gently heat the sugar and remaining butter in a heavy based, non-stick pan, stirring until melted. Add the condensed milk and golden syrup and bring to a rapid boil, stirring continuously. Cook for around a minute or until the filling has thickened. Pour the caramel over the base, then allow to cool. Once cooled, chill in the fridge or freeze until set.
- Melt the chocolate in separate bowls. Pour the dark chocolate over the caramel and then add spoonfuls of the melted white chocolate. Swirl together with a spoon for a marbled effect that'll ensure your millionaire's shortbread recipe looks as good as it tastes.
- Place back into the fridge to chill until set. Once set, remove from the tin, dip a sharp knife into hot water (this will make it much easier to cut) and then dry it briefly before using it to cut the shortbread into squares.
