Millionaires shortbread 

So everyone knows how obsessed I’m with all issues millionaires shortbread proper?! I’m simply in love and that may by no means change. 

I’ve had many several types of ‘millionaires shortbread’ bakes on my weblog now, starting from my traditional millionaires shortbread to my malteser millionaires, and even my biscoff millionaires. 

While I really like all of those recipes, I’ve had limitless requests for a ‘no-bake’ model which is tremendous straightforward, and doesn’t use an oven… so right here it’s. A biscuit base with shortbread, a caramel made within the microwave, and chocolate! Straightforward! 

Biscuit Base

In order a millionaires shortbread normally has a baked shortbread base, I believed I’d make it ‘no-bake’ by merely utilizing a primary biscuit base concept, and used shortbread biscuits and butter.

The thought is similar as a cheesecake base, however I needed to stay to utilizing shortbread biscuits in order that it was related sufficient – however you’ll be able to after all use different biscuits when you fancied it as a substitute! 

The ratio could seem barely completely different to my regular biscuit bases, however shortbread biscuits want loads much less butter than different biscuits as a result of they’re so buttery themselves. 

Caramel

So for the caramel, regardless that I’d nonetheless rely utilizing the hob of an oven as ‘no-bake’, I believed I’d change it up barely and use the microwave methodology. That is merely the identical recipe, however in a microwave… clearly. 

Now, when you don’t have a microwave, you’ll be able to nonetheless make the caramel as per regular on my traditional millionaires shortbread recipe, however when you fancied a change or a special method of doing issues… this works wonders. 

Numerous folks choose the microwave methodology as you don’t have to boil something on a range, however beware, it might nonetheless get very popular. 

You add all of the components to a LARGE bowl that microwaves properly, and microwave the caramel in 1 minute intervals, stirring very properly every time, till the caramel has darkened, thickened and is fudge like. Usually, this takes 10-Quarter-hour or longer.

Chocolate

The chocolate a part of this is similar as all the time – soften it nonetheless you usually soften chocolate and pour everywhere in the set caramel. I used a mix of white chocolate and darkish chocolate to jazz it up barely, however that is fully optionally available and as much as you. 

I discover it greatest to randomly pour two candies with out a lot care, after which swirl with the tip of a cake tester to get a fairly sample – and it really works so properly! However after all, all of it tastes the identical irrespective of how swirled it’s. 

No-Bake goodies 

If me you know the way a lot I like a no-bake deal with, and that is 100% one in all my favourites. Something straightforward to make and I’m there… all the time. 

Whether or not its a no-bake cheesecake corresponding to my chocolate orange cheesecake, and even my millionaires cheesecake in my first e book… or a no-bake deal with corresponding to my Rolo rocky street. I AM OBSESSED. 

Suggestions and Tips 

On the subject of the caramel you want your microwave on its highest setting, and as microwaves can differ, it might take much less or longer.
