Yield Makes 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

For shortbread crust:
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
For chocolate dulce de leche:
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup dulce de leche
4 large egg yolks
5 ounces 60%-cacao bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (preferably in a food processor)

Steps:

  • Make shortbread crust:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle. Butter a shallow 9- to 9 1/2-inch square baking pan (1 to 1 1/2 inches deep). Line bottom and 2 sides with parchment paper, leaving an overhang. Butter parchment.
  • Blend together butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a bowl with a fork. Sift in flour and blend with fork until a soft dough forms.
  • Spread dough evenly in baking pan using an offset spatula or back of a spoon, then prick all over with fork.
  • Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes, then cool completely in pan on a rack, about 30 minutes.
  • Make chocolate dulce de leche:
  • Bring cream and dulce de leche to a simmer in a small heavy saucepan, stirring with a wooden spoon until dulce de leche has dissolved.
  • Whisk together yolks in a bowl, then slowly whisk in hot cream mixture. Return to pan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until pan is visible in tracks of spoon and mixture registers 170°F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate until melted.
  • Make bars:
  • Pour chocolate mixture over cooled shortbread and chill, uncovered, until cold and set, about 2 hours.
  • Run a small knife around edges to loosen, then transfer to a cutting board using parchment. Cut with a hot clean knife (dip in hot water and wipe clean between cuts) into 24 bars. Chill until ready to serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were still edible, but they weren't as good as I expected.

These bars were a bit too dense for my taste, but they still had a good flavor.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

These bars were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a higher quality chocolate for the ganache.

I'm not a huge fan of dulce de leche, but I really enjoyed these bars. The chocolate ganache is rich and flavorful, and it balances out the sweetness of the dulce de leche perfectly.
