Method
- Start with the shortbread base: preheat your oven to 180C, 160C fan or Gas Mark 4, then combine the flour, almond flour, pinch of sea salt and icing sugar in a mixing bowl, then add in the dairy-free spread and use your hands to crumb it into the mix until no big pieces of spread are left and the mixture is crumbly.
- Place the mixture into a 20x20cm square baking tin and press it against the bottom to create an even layer. Pierce the base with a fork multiple times, then bake it in the oven for 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and cool for at least 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare your salted almond butter caramel: to a non stick pan add the almond butter, brown sugar and condensed milk. Give it a good stir to mix then heat over gentle heat until the sugar is caramelised and well incorporated. Sprinkle in 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes and fold them in.
- Stir the cornflour into the vegan cream and pour the mixture into the caramel. Stir to combine, then remove the caramel from the heat and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes to slightly harden.
- Pour the caramel on top of the shortbread base and spread it out evenly, then place it in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
- Place the jar of Mr Organic Chocolate and Hazelnut Spread into your warm oven at about 50-60C for 10 minutes, so that the spread becomes soft and runny. Pour about 3/4 of a jar on top of the frozen caramel and spread it across the top with the back of a spoon, then sprinkle with sea salt flakes (optional). Transfer to a fridge or freezer to set for at least 2 hours.
- Remove from the freezer and slice the millionaire shortbread whilst still frozen. Let it rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before digging in and enjoy!
