Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (300g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (175g) dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon (15g) unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the flour and mix until a dough forms. Press into the bottom of the lined baking dish.
- Bake the crust for about 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Stir continuously until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Pour over the cooled shortbread crust.
- Allow the caramel layer to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate.
- Melt the dark chocolate and butter together until smooth. Pour over the cooled caramel layer and spread evenly.
- Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until set, then cut into bars and serve.
Notes
For a firmer texture, chill the bars longer before serving. You can also sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for added flavor.
