Ingredients
Biscuit
- 140 grams (4.94 oz) Butter
- 75 grams (2.65 oz) White Sugar – Regular Sugar – Granulated Sugar
- 210 grams (7.41 oz) All Purpose Flour – Plain Flour
Carmel Layer
- 100 grams (3.53 oz) Butter
- 100 grams (3.53 oz) Light Brown Sugar
- 400 grams (14.11 oz) Condensed Milk
Chocolate Layer
- 250 grams (8.82 oz) Dark Chocolate
Instructions
Line a large square or rectangle baking tin with parchment paper ensuring the paper covers up and over the sides.
Biscuit
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and the sugar together until smooth.
Gradually add in the flour, folding using a rubber spatula as you go until all the flour is fully incorporated. You should have a dough-like texture.
Spread the dough into your baking tray, and use your hands to press the dough to evenly cover the bottom of the tray. It is fine for the surface to be uneven but ensure an even distribution of the dough. Place the tray in the fridge to chill for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to190C/375F. Once chilled, bake the biscuit for 15 minutes. It should be a pale golden color and firm to touch.
Set aside to cool completely before starting the next step.
Caramel Layer
In a large saucepan over medium to low heat, add the butter, sugar, and condensed milk. Stir continuously to prevent the sauce from burning.
Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Continue to stir constantly and scrape the sides and bottom.
Keep stirring and lower the heat back to low-medium, the sauce should have a nice rolling bubble. Continue to stir and cook for 10 minutes, the caramel should start to thicken.
After 10 minutes, immediately pour the caramel on the biscuit base. Scrape all the sauce out. Tilt the pan to ensure the even distribution of the caramel. Be careful since the pan can be hot due to the caramel.
Leave to completely cool before starting the chocolate layer (minimal one hour).
Chocolate Layer
Chop the chocolate into small pieces. Then slowly melt in a bowl over a pan of hot water (Bain Marie).
Once melted, immediately pour over the caramel and leave to set for at least 30 minutes.
Using a sharp knife rinsed under hot water, cut the biscuit into equal squares or rectangles, and enjoy!

Cooking tip for making Millionaire’s Shortbread
- The recipe requires a lot of patience. Each layer must be cooked and cooled before starting the next layer. Make the shortbread one day in advance and leave it loosely covered to cool. The caramel sauce requires full attention. The key is continuously stirring the sauce, scraping the bottom and sides to avoid the ingredients sticking to the pan. If the sauce sticks, it will leave specs in the sauce, giving a bitter taste.
- Store in an airtight container, and they will keep for 2 weeks.
- Make the dough in advance, wrap it tightly in clingfilm, and freeze for up to one month.
