Millionaires shortbread <\/h3>\n

So we all know how obsessed I am with all things millionaires shortbread right?! I am just in love and that will never change. <\/p>\n

I have had many different types of ‘millionaires shortbread’ bakes on my blog now, ranging from my classic millionaires shortbread<\/a> to my malteser millionaires<\/a>, or even my biscoff millionaires<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Whilst I love all of these recipes, I have had endless requests for a ‘no-bake’ version which is super easy, and doesn’t use an oven… so here it is. A biscuit base with shortbread, a caramel made in the microwave, and chocolate! Easy! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Biscuit Base<\/h3>\n

So as a millionaires shortbread usually has a baked shortbread base, I thought I would make it ‘no-bake’ by simply using a basic biscuit base idea, and used shortbread biscuits and butter.<\/p>\n

The idea is the same as a cheesecake base, but I wanted to stick to using shortbread biscuits so that it was similar enough – but you can of course use other biscuits if you fancied it instead! <\/p>\n

The ratio may seem slightly different to my normal biscuit bases, but shortbread biscuits need a lot less butter than other biscuits because they are so buttery themselves. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Caramel<\/h3>\n

So for the caramel, even though I would still count using the hob of an oven as ‘no-bake’, I thought I would change it up slightly and use the microwave method.<\/strong><\/span><\/em> This is simply the same recipe, but in a microwave… obviously. <\/p>\n

Now, if you don’t have a microwave, you can still make the caramel as per normal on my classic millionaires shortbread<\/a> recipe, but if you fancied a change or a different way of doing things… this works wonders. <\/p>\n

Lots of people prefer the microwave method as you don’t need to boil anything on a stove, but beware, it can still get very hot. <\/p>\n

You add all the ingredients to a LARGE bowl that microwaves well, and microwave the caramel in 1 minute intervals, stirring very well each time, until the caramel has darkened, thickened and is fudge like. Often, this takes 10-15 minutes or longer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chocolate<\/h3>\n

The chocolate part of this is the same as always – melt it however you normally melt chocolate and pour all over the set caramel. I used a combination of white chocolate<\/a> and dark chocolate<\/a> to jazz it up slightly, but this is completely optional and up to you. <\/p>\n

I find it best to randomly pour two chocolates without much care, and then swirl with the end of a cake tester to get a pretty pattern – and it works so well! But of course, it all tastes the same no matter how swirled it is. <\/p>\n

No-Bake goodies <\/h3>\n

If you know me you know how much I adore a no-bake treat, and this is 100% one of my favourites. Anything easy to make and I am there… always. <\/p>\n

Whether its a no-bake cheesecake<\/a> such as my chocolate orange cheesecake<\/a>, or even my millionaires cheesecake in my first book<\/a>… or a no-bake treat such as my Rolo rocky road<\/a>. I AM OBSESSED. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tips and Tricks <\/h3>\n

When it comes to the caramel you will want your microwave on its highest setting, and as microwaves can vary, it may take less or longer. <\/p>\n

I always find using this square tin<\/a> the best for any traybake I make, as it makes the perfect depth for the bake. If you change the tin, you risk it not setting quite the same. <\/p>\n

This bake will last for 7+ days, best in the fridge, or it can freeze for 3+ months. <\/p>\n
