I know my last post was heavy on the caramel as well but hey its caramel, who doesn’t love caramel? And in my book the more the better! Ages ago I made Millionaires Cheesecake as a take on the classic chocolaty caramel treat but recently I fancied a slice of the real deal.















Of course I had to bling it up a little, by using dark, milk and white chocolate for the topping but essentially I have stuck to a classic traditional recipe. Crumbly shortcake base and a soft caramel centre with a lovely chocolate topping.















This is a classic treat, not just in Scotland where I live (trust me its so popular here!) but worldwide. Some call it caramel shortcake, or millionaires caramel shortcake or just millionaires shortcake; whatever you call it I just call is delicious. Simple, sweet and a perfect snack.















The thing I love about this recipe is that the caramel holds its shape really well, but it’s so soft to eat as well, so no hard chewing required.















This treat does have 3 stages to it and it can take a little time but each stage is really simple to make. The shortcake is quick to make, back and cool. The caramel is pretty quick to make but takes a bit of time to fully cool and the chocolate topping is quick and simple to make but takes a little patience because it needs a bit of setting time. But don’t be put off by the steps, do as I did, I started it in the morning and just returned to it a couple of times during the day to do the next bit and it was ready by mid afternoon.















And though this looks decedent its actually not an expensive recipe to make. A lot of these ingredients you will already have in your cupboards, and you can simplify this by using only one kind of chocolate for the topping, I had all three available but if I had only one I would have just used one I know it still would have tasted amazing. But if you can try to use all three it was really good 🙂
