Cake on Friday: Biscoff Millionaires Shortbread

This month’s Cake on Friday recipe is a hardcore treat of greatness. Easy to make. Easy to eat. Just watch those sticky paws on the game cards.

Ingredients

Base

• 2 x 250g packets of Lotus Biscoff
• 50g Butter or your favourite alternative

Caramel

• 1 tin condensed milk
• 150g Butter
• 150g Soft Dark Brown Sugar

Topping

• 300g Chocolate (I use 70%)
• 2 tablespoons of Biscoff Mix left over from the base.

Equipment

• 25.5cm (10 inch) x 20.5cm (8 inch) Deep Tin
• Baking parchment
• Mixing bowl
• Wooden spoons
• Spatula
• Saucepan
• Blender/Food Processor (Optional)

Method

  1. Line the tin with baking parchment – look online if you are not sure how.
  2. Using a blender or food processor, break up the 2 packets of Biscoff into a fine crumb. (yes, you can eat one or two in the process). If you don’t have a blender/food processor, put the biscuits in a plastic bag and break them up with a rolling pin or something heavy (not your mom’s favourite vase). Put two tablespoons of the crumbs in a tub for later.
  3. Melt 50g of butter, add it to the crumbs and mix it all up with a wooden spoon.
  4. Put the mix into the tin and pack it down hard. Then put it in the fridge.
  5. In a saucepan, melt the 150g butter and mix in the sugar.
  6. When it is mixed together and reasonably smooth add the condensed milk and stir until it is boiling vigorously.
  7. At this stage it is as hot as the lava pools of Mount Doom and as sticky as sovereign glue so DO NOT LICK THE SPOON.
  8. Pour over the Biscoff base and spread it around until you get an even coverage.
  9. Put back in the fridge. Check how hot the spoon is and if it's not too bad, it can now be licked.
  10. Melt the chocolate gently in a microwave and stir it until smooth.
  11. Get the cake out of the fridge and pour the chocolate over the top.
  12. Sprinkle over the Biscoff crumbs you set aside in step 2. Then put the cake in the fridge for a few hours to set.
  13. Bribe a housemate/parent/sibling/child to do the washing up with a promise of a share in the cake.
  14. When set, cut into squares and serve during game night.
