Ingredients
For the Shortbread Layer
- 1 ½ cups digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
For the Caramel Layer
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup Biscoff spread (cookie butter)
For the Chocolate Layer
- 1 cup milk chocolate, melted
- ½ cup Biscoff spread (cookie butter)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Shortbread Layer
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a lined 9×9-inch traybake tin, creating an even layer. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the base to set.
2. Make the Caramel Layer
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar, and sweetened condensed milk over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once the mixture starts bubbling, reduce the heat and continue to stir for 5-7 minutes, or until the caramel thickens and deepens in color.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Biscoff spread until fully combined. Pour the caramel mixture over the chilled shortbread layer, spreading it evenly. Return the traybake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to set the caramel layer.
3. Create the Chocolate Layer
Melt the milk chocolate and Biscoff spread together using a double boiler or in short intervals in the microwave, stirring frequently to ensure a smooth consistency. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the set caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula for a flawless finish.
4. Chill and Serve
Place the traybake back in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is completely set. Once ready, remove the traybake from the fridge and use a sharp knife to slice it into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
Tips
- Storage: Store the traybake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve chilled for a firmer texture or let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for a softer bite.
- Customization: Add a pinch of sea salt to the caramel layer for a salted caramel twist or use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Cutting Tips: To avoid cracking the chocolate layer, warm the knife slightly before slicing.
