Equipment

  • 1 baking tin, 9" x 9" square, lined

Ingredients

Shortbread layer

  • 175 g Plain flour
  • 85 g Semolina
  • 75 g Sugar
  • 175 g Butter - vegan, room temperature
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ tsp Salt

Caramel layer

  • 100 g Butter - vegan
  • 100 g Brown sugar
  • 370 g Condensed Milk - vegan

Chocolate layer

  • 200 g Chocolate - vegan, of your choice

Instructions

To make the shortbread layer

  • Preheat oven to 150c.
  • Place all the shortbread ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and, using a wooden spoon, or in a hands-free mixer, mix well until the mixture starts to clump together.
  • Tip into your prepared baking tin and press mixture down firmly.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes until pale golden brown but feels firm to the touch.
  • Leave to cool in the pan.

To make the caramel layer

  • Place the butter, brown sugar and vegan condensed milk into a saucepan and heat until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Turn up the heat, stirring constantly, bring to the boil, then turn down the heat to a gentle simmer, still stirring, and cook until thickened, 5-10 minutes.
  • Pour this over your cooled shortbread and leave to cool.

To make the chocolate topping layer

  • Either on a double boiler or in the microwave, melt the chocolate until it is pourable and glossy.
  • Pour over the caramel and leave to set.
  • Use a hot knife (I run mine under a hot tap then dry it) to cut into squares.

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
