White Terry’s Millionaire’s Shortbread

You’ll Need:

(Contains some affiliate links)

• A rectangular brownie tray
• We love these silicone utensils – they come in lots of colours to suit every kitchen!
• A balloon whisk to match
• Mixing bowls – we use these glass ones as they’re very durable – and perfect for melting chocolate in this recipe, but we also recommend these stackable stainless steel ones with airtight lids and these plastic nesting ones!
• Digital scales to weigh everything out super accurately!
• A set of decent saucepans for making your caramel and melting chocolate
• A nice big sharp knife for getting those perfect, clean cut edges on your Chocolate Orange Millionaire’s Shortbread! We recommend this one, this one and this one!

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C, then grease and line a 33x23cm tin with baking paper
2. Rub 350g of cold, cubed butter into the flour with your hands until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs
3. Add in the caster sugar and 1 teaspoon orange extract and mix
4. Tip the mixture into the prepared tin and press it down firmly so that it is tightly packed
5. Bake for 30 minutes or until very light golden brown. Leave to cool
6. Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter, condensed milk, golden syrup and orange extract gently in a saucepan, stirring occasionally until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth
7. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to the boil, stirring frequently – until mixture is thick and golden brown – optional – add some orange food colouring at the end to  make your caramel more orange and fitting with the flavours!
8. Allow mixture to cool slightly before pouring over the cooled shortbread
9. Leave to cool completely – refrigerate for at least an hour to help with this 
10. Melt the Terry’s White Chocolate Orange – we do ours in a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water
11. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel, and then melt the orange candy melts and put blobs on top
12. Use a toothpick or sharp knife to ‘feather’ a nice pattern on top – see video above for how to get that perfect feather!
13. Decorate with more Terry’s Chocolate Orange products, and sprinkles if you wish

Top Tips:

• Make sure your shortbread mixture is packed really tightly into the tin, or your Millionaire’s Shortbread will crumble when cut into!
• Keep the boiling water simmering on a low heat – but don’t let it touch the bottom of the glass bowl when melting the chocolate
• Make sure no water gets into the bowl of chocolate whilst you are melting it
• You can also melt chocolate in the microwave, but it is much more likely to burn – especially white chocolate – so only do it in short bursts of 10-30 seconds
