Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Coconut oil, solid
- 50 grams Coconut sugar
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 400 milliliters Coconut milk, full fat
- 150 milliliters Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 250 grams Dairy-free dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the solid coconut oil and coconut sugar until well combined.
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the mixture and mix until it forms a crumbly dough.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking tin, ensuring a compact and even layer.
Bake the shortbread base for 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
For the caramel layer, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk and maple syrup. Stir continuously until it begins to thicken, approximately 20 minutes.
Mix cornstarch with cold water in a small bowl until smooth. Add this slurry to the caramel mixture, stirring constantly until the caramel reaches a cream-like consistency.
Stir in vanilla extract, remove from heat, and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Pour the caramel over the cooled shortbread base and spread evenly. Chill in the refrigerator until the caramel is firm, about 1 hour.
For the chocolate topping, melt the dairy-free dark chocolate and melted coconut oil together using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently.
Pour the melted chocolate over the set caramel layer and spread evenly with a spatula.
Chill the shortbread in the refrigerator until the chocolate has completely set, about 30 minutes.
Once set, remove from the fridge and let sit for 5 minutes at room temperature. Cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife, and serve.
