Step 2 of 5

Millionaires Shortbread Recipe step 1

Add the crushed biscuits to a large mixing bowl and pour over the 55g of melted butter. Mix it together thoroughly until it resembles wet sand and decant into the lined tin. Spread the mix evenly across the base of the tin and press the mixture down firmly (don't forget to get right into the corners!). Pop in the fridge to chill. 

If you're in a hurry, you can also put the tin in the freezer to chill and set each layer.  Also we've suggested using extra baking parchment to hang over the edges of the tin as you'll be able to lift your finished millionaire's shortbread recipe out with ease!
 

Step 3 of 5

Millionaires Shortbread Recipe step 2

Gently heat the sugar and 150g butter in a heavy based, non-stick pan, stirring until melted. Add the condensed milk and bring to a rapid boil, stirring continuously. Cook for around a minute or until the filling has thickened. Pour the caramel over the base, then allow to cool. Once cooled, chill in the fridge or freeze until set.

Step 4 of 5

Millionaires Shortbread Recipe step 3

Melt the chocolate in separate bowls. Pour the dark chocolate over the caramel and then add spoonfuls of the melted white chocolate. Swirl together with a spoon for a marbled effect that'll ensure your millionaire's shortbread recipe looks as good as it tastes.

Step 5 of 5

Millionaires Shortbread Recipe step 4

Place back into the fridge to chill until set. Once set, remove from the tin, dip a sharp knife into hot water (this will make it much easier to cut) and then dry it briefly before using it to cut the shortbread into squares.

These scrumptious squares are great to share with friends but if you do have any left over you can keep them for up to two weeks. Simply put in an airtight container and pop it in the fridge.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Confused The ingredients clearly stated 55g butter for base and 150g butter for caramel, but the instructions stated use remaining butter for caramel? confusion arose! I made the caramel with 150g as the ingredient list stated so surprise surprise the caramel didn't set. When looking at the billiionaires version this was a lot clearer (maybe money talks!) separating the ingredient list for each layer, that version said 55g butter for base and 95g for caramel. A light bulb moment ensued when I realised the millionaires version has been designed to confuse

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everyone’s a winner So I’ve used this recipe to make Millionaires shortbread for quite a few years now. It turns out superb every time. It’s my go to recipe for when expecting visitors as absolutely everyone loves it! I make it to take with me when going to a party or gathering and every single time I’m asked for the recipe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Classic consistent recipe I have made this about 20 times and it always works. The only thing I do now is not to put the finished dessert in the fridge uncut otherwise it will crack when you try to cut it. The chocolate sets perfectly out of the fridge with a smoother finish. Great for cake stalls!
