MILLIONAIRE'S SHORTBREAD BARS (VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE)



Millionaire's Shortbread Bars (Vegan and Gluten Free) image

Millionaire's shortbread bars traditionally have a bottom layer of shortbread cookie, a middle caramel layer, and a top chocolate layer. For my recipe, I made the cookie layer with almond flour to get a delicious nutty flavor. The middle layer is a caramel made mostly out of dates. Finally, I made the top chocolate out of cacao, coconut oil, and agave. Keep leftovers in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use a quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before cutting it into the flour mixture. This will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The filling should be slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent the filling from falling out.

Conclusion:

Millionaire bars are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a rich chocolate crust, gooey caramel filling, and a layer of chocolate ganache, these bars are sure to please everyone. They are also relatively easy to make, so you can enjoy them without spending hours in the kitchen. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give millionaire bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
