Billionaire's Shortbread Bites with Gold Leaf 🍰📌

Ingredients

(For a 9x9 pan, cut into 25 bites):

For the Shortbread:

· 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

· ½ cup granulated sugar

· 2 cups all-purpose flour

· Pinch of salt

For the Caramel:

· 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

· ½ cup unsalted butter

· ½ cup brown sugar

· 3 tbsp golden syrup or light corn syrup

· 1 tsp vanilla extract

· Good pinch of sea salt

For the Topping:

· 7 oz good-quality dark chocolate (70%), chopped

· 1 tsp coconut oil or butter

· Edible gold leaf flakes or luster dust

👩🍳 Instructions:

1. Shortbread: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line pan with parchment. Cream butter and sugar. Mix in flour & salt until crumbly. Press firmly into pan. Prick with fork. Bake 20-25 min until pale golden. Cool completely.

2. Caramel: In a saucepan, melt butter, brown sugar, syrup, and condensed milk. Stir constantly over medium-low heat for 7-10 minutes until thickened and golden. Remove from heat, add vanilla and salt. Pour over cooled shortbread. Chill 1 hour.

3. Chocolate: Melt chocolate with coconut oil. Pour over set caramel. Tilt to spread evenly.

4. Finish: Before chocolate fully sets, sprinkle with edible gold. Let set completely at room temp.

5. Cut: Use a hot, sharp knife to cut into small squares (clean knife between cuts).

Cutting them into small bites makes them perfect for sharing (or not!). Discover more luxurious, gifting-worthy treats in my bestselling eBook 'Decadent Desserts'! The perfect holiday gift to yourself. 🎁👇 (Link in Bio)
