Ingredients

Shortbread

  • 225 g Plain Flour
  • 175 g Unsalted Butter
  • 75 g Caster Sugar
  • 50 g White Chocolate Chips

Topping

  • 175 g Unsalted Butter
  • 175 g Caster Sugar
  • 60 g Golden Syrup
  • 375 g Condensed Milk
  • 50 g White Chocolate Chips
  • 400 g White Chocolate

Instructions

Shortbread

  • Preheat the oven to 150 C. Line a 23cm x 28cm rectangular cake tin with baking parchment.
  • Combine the flour, and butter cubes in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Add in the caster sugar and pulse again until combined. Tip the mixture into the lined cake tin and spread it out evenly with the back of a spoon then add 50g of white chocolate chips to the top.
  • Then press the shortbread down firmly with your knuckles so that it is tightly packed in the tin.
  • Bake the shortbread for 30 minutes or until very light golden brown. Set aside to cool.

Caramel Topping

  • Put the butter and sugar in a wide, heavy-based pan with the syrup, condensed milk and heat gently, stirring to melt the butter. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook for about 10-15 minutes, until thick and fudgy.
  • Pour over the shortbread and smooth with a palette knife, then begin to press the white chocolate chips into the caramel in a layer until the caramel is covered. Leave to set.

Chocolate Layer

  • Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water or in a microwave, and spread evenly over the set caramel.
  • Leave until solid, then turn out and cut into squares to serve.
