Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams plain flour
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 125 grams unsalted butter (melted)
- 400 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 75 grams unsalted butter (extra for caramel layer)
- 250 grams white chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch x 8-inch) square baking tin with baking paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until it forms a crumbly dough.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared tin to form an even base. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
To prepare the caramel layer, combine the sweetened condensed milk, golden syrup, and extra butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and turns a light caramel color.
Pour the caramel evenly over the cooled biscuit base. Return the tin to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
Melt the white chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method) or in the microwave in short 20-second bursts, stirring after each burst to prevent overheating.
Stir the teaspoon of vegetable oil into the melted white chocolate for a smoother, shinier finish.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the cooled caramel layer, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate the slice for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate topping is set. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut into 16 squares or bars.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
