Ingredients

Scale

For the Shortbread Base:

  • 300 g gluten-free plain flour

  • ¼ tsp xanthan gum (optional but helps with texture)

  • 100 g caster sugar

  • 200 g butter, softened

For the Caramel:

  • 185 g butter

  • 35 g golden caster sugar

  • 65 g golden syrup

  • 397 g condensed milk (1 tin)

For the Chocolate Topping:

  • 250 g milk chocolate

  • 50 g white chocolate

  • 200 g Mini eggs (some whole and some crushed)


Instructions

  • Prepare the Shortbread Base:

    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F.

    • Grease and line an 8-inch square baking tin.

    • In a bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if using), caster sugar, and softened butter.

    • Mix until the dough comes together. Press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared tin.

    • Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

  • Make the Caramel:

    • In a saucepan, melt the butter, golden caster sugar, and golden syrup over low heat.

    • Add the condensed milk and bring to a simmer. Stir constantly to avoid burning.

    • Once it thickens and turns golden, pour over the cooled shortbread base.

    • Let it set at room temperature for about 1-2 hours.

  • Prepare the Chocolate Topping:

    • Melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave.

    • Drizzle the melted milk chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly.

    • Melt the white chocolate and drizzle it on top of the milk chocolate.

    • Scatter the whole Mini eggs and the crushed Mini eggs over the top. Press them down slightly to ensure they stick.

 

  • Set and Serve:

    • Let the shortbread set in the fridge for about 3-4 hours, or until the chocolate is firm.

    • Slice into squares and serve!
