Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Whole wheat flour
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 395-gram can Low-fat sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 150 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Fat-free evaporated milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, unsalted butter, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the shortbread base. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, combine the low-fat sweetened condensed milk, maple syrup, and cornstarch over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and turns a golden caramel color, about 10-15 minutes.
Pour the caramel evenly over the baked shortbread base and refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the fat-free evaporated milk in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
Spread the melted chocolate over the set caramel layer evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the millionaire shortbread until the chocolate is firm, approximately 30 minutes.
Once set, remove from the pan using the edges of the parchment paper, and slice into 25 small bites with a sharp knife.
Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
