Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 100 grams Butter, unsalted
- 30 grams Granulated Stevia
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 grams Cream cheese
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Butter, unsalted (for caramel)
- 120 ml Sugar-free maple syrup
- 200 grams Dark chocolate, sugar-free
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
To make the shortbread base, melt 100 grams of butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and mix in the almond flour, 30 grams of granulated Stevia, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
For the caramel-like middle layer, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine 200 ml of heavy cream, 60 grams of cream cheese, 120 ml of sugar-free maple syrup, and 50 grams of butter. Stir until all ingredients are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Increase heat slightly and bring the mixture to a mild simmer, stirring frequently for about 10 minutes until it thickens.
Pour the caramel mixture over the cooled shortbread base, spreading it evenly. Place the dish in the refrigerator to set for at least 30 minutes.
For the chocolate topping, melt 200 grams of sugar-free dark chocolate with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the set caramel layer, smoothing out with a spatula to create an even layer.
Chill the millionaire's shortbread in the refrigerator until the chocolate layer is firm, which should take about 1 hour.
Once set, remove the shortbread from the dish, cut it into squares, and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
