Mini Egg Millionaire Shortbread

March 20, 2020

Difficulty

Time 4 hours (inc cooling)

Servings 16

    Ingredients

    • For the Shortbread Layer
    • Plain Flour (165g)
    • Caster Sugar (50g)
    • Butter (100g)
    • Mini Eggs (50g - crushed)
    • For the Caramel Layer
    • Butter (150g)
    • Condensed Milk (397g - one tin)
    • Soft Light Brown Sugar (150g)
    • Vanilla Extract (1/2 teaspoon)
    • For the Chocolate Mini Egg Layer
    • Milk Chocolate (250g)
    • Mini Eggs (150g)

    Method

    • For the Shortbread Layer
    1. Preheat oven to 160°C (gas mark 3). Crush the mini eggs (I use a pestle and mortar).
    2. Grease and line a 9"x9" baking tin.
    3. Mix the flour and sugar in a bowl, and then rub in butter.
    4. Once the mixture has formed a breadcrumb consistency, add the crushed mini eggs press down in to the baking tin.
    5. Cook in the middle of the oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.
    6. Leave to cool (partly, if you're impatient) before proceeding to the caramel layer.
    • For the Caramel Layer
      1. Gently heat the sugar and butter in a non-stick frying pan, stirring until melted together.
      2. Add the condensed milk and bring to a rapid boil, stir continuously and do not take off the heat. Add the vanilla extract after 4 minutes, then continue for 1 additional minute.
      3. Take off the heat and pour the mixture over the shortbread layer. On a flat surface, shake the tin a little to get the caramel to evenly distribute.
      4. Chill in the fridge until set.
      • For the Chocolate Mini Egg Layer
          1. Break the chocolate up in to small chunks and melt in a bowl over hot water until smooth.
          2. Allow the chocolate to cool very slightly for a minute, and then pour on top of the caramel. Decorate with mini eggs - I crushed mine a little with a pestle and mortar.
          3. Chill in the fridge until fully set before cutting in to pieces.

          Notes

          • - The mini eggs in the shortbread layer are fun but completely optional!
          • - The shortbread layer can be made by crushing 250g of shop bought shortbread biscuits and combining with 55g of melted butter.
          • - If you'd prefer a softer caramel layer, reduce the boil time of caramel mixture to 1-2 minutes.
          • - Mini egg millionaire shortbread can be kept at room temperature or refrigerated depending on your prefered firmness for the caramel layer!
