Vegan Millionaire’s Shortbread<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t

*Shortbread:*<\/h4>
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>
  • \u00bd cup granulated sugar<\/li>
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch<\/li>
  • \u215b teaspoon salt<\/li>
  • 1 cup 2 sticks + 2 tablespoons vegan butter (cold, diced)<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li><\/ul>

    *Caramel:*<\/h4>
    • 2 cans (11.25 ounces each vegan condensed milk)<\/li>
    • \u00bd cup vegan butter<\/li>
    • \u2154 cup brown sugar<\/li>
    • 1 \u00bd – 2 teaspoons vanilla extract<\/li><\/ul>

      *Chocolate:*<\/h4>
      • 10 ounces semisweet chocolate<\/li>
      • 2 tablespoons coconut oil<\/li>
      • Optional: 2 ounces vegan white chocolate<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
        \n\t\t
        1. Preheat the oven to 300\u00b0F (150\u00b0C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.<\/li><\/ol>

          *Shortbread:*<\/h4>
          1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cornstarch, and salt.<\/li>
          2. Add diced vegan butter and vanilla, mixing with your hands until the dough comes together.<\/li>
          3. Transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it into an even layer.<\/li>
          4. Bake for 32-35 minutes; it’s done when still pale. Let it cool slightly.<\/li><\/ol>

            *Caramel:*<\/h4>
            1. While the shortbread bakes, melt condensed milk, vegan butter, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.<\/li>
            2. Attach a candy thermometer and heat to 240-245\u00b0F, whisking occasionally.<\/li>
            3. Remove from heat, whisk in vanilla, and pour the caramel over the shortbread.<\/li>
            4. Let it cool, then refrigerate for 30 minutes until set.<\/li><\/ol>

              *Chocolate:*<\/h4>
              1. Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a heat-safe bowl.<\/li>
              2. Pour over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.<\/li>
              3. Optional: Create a feathered pattern with melted vegan white chocolate immediately after adding the chocolate layer.<\/li>
              4. Refrigerate until the chocolate sets (about 30 minutes), then slice and serve.<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
                \n\t\t
                  \n
                • Ensure the caramel sets before adding chocolate; about an hour of chilling is ideal.<\/li>\n
                • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.<\/li>\n
                • For a perfect shortbread, avoid overworking the dough and don’t over-bake. Trust the process!<\/li>\n
                • Use regular all-purpose flour for the shortbread or a gluten-free substitute for those with gluten restrictions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
